SUMMARY:Future Tense – Power of the Pause
DESCRIPTION:The Fourth Installment of BusinessWest’s Future Tense Lecture Series!\nFuture Tense – Power of the Pause\nThursday\, November 8\, 2018\n8 a.m.-9:30 a.m.\nCost: $25 donation to Tech Foundry\nPresenter: Susan O’Connor\, Esq.: Health New England\, Director & General Counsel \nIt’s not easy managing in today’s fast-paced\, complex\, dynamic work environments. Leaders are required to remain focused in the face of a myriad of commitments\, to have clarity of mind\, to ensure they are doing the right things (not just doing ‘things’)\, and maintain calm in the midst of daily storms. But what if we as leaders could hit the “pause” button during our day\, step back\, and meet challenges with a sense of space\, clarity and focus? What if there was a way to not just “get things done\,” but ensure that what does get done connects us with ourselves\, with the people we work with and ultimately\, with our organization’s deepest values? Mindfulness is a compelling tool for performance\, teamwork and effectiveness as well as presence\, kindness and balance. Moira Garvey\, Senior Consultant and Facilitator with the Potential Project\, will share why mindfulness is relevant in the workplace and why companies around the globe are incorporating mindfulness to support workplace performance and employee well-being. \nIn this session you will hear how Springfield-based Health New England brought mindfulness training to its Associates. In 2015\, HNE ran a pilot to enhance their high performance culture – 30 leaders participated in a 4 month course. HNE leadership knows the key to success is the ability to work at a high level of mental effectiveness\, while also remaining resilient in the face of stress. In many industries including health care\, the velocity of change\, competition and complexity are constant challenges. Since the successful 2015 pilot HNE has continued to invest in Mindfulness training as a way to fortify a culture of high performance that is focused and intentional. In 2017\, 63% of the participants held leadership positions \nIn the foundational session Moira will provide an overview of the nature of the mind and attention\, while sharing information on the most recent scientific findings regarding how the brain works and how it can be rewired to enable us to be more focused\, calm and effective at work every single day. She will teach a basic mindfulness practice and offer a focus strategy for immediate application. \nPresenters:\nMoira Garvey\, Senior Consultant and Facilitator\, Potential Project\nSusan O’Connor\, Esq.\, Vice President and General Counsel\, Health New England
