Title: Emotional Health - Empowering Teams through Compassionate Leadership
Abstract: According to the Harvard Business Review, 91% of leaders said compassion is very important for leadership, and 80% would like to enhance their compassion but do not know how. Compassionate leadership is a response to lead effectively with heart and humanity during these unprecedented times so that with the leader's innate wisdom and compassion, individuals, teams and organisations may thrive. The seminar seeks to explore how the integration of contemplative wisdom, science and practices of modern leadership may develop kind, successful and flourishing communities.

Title: Emotional Health: Rewiring Our Hearts and Minds
Abstract: If the stressors of work and life seem to be taking us near the brink of exhaustion, our emotions are alerting us to intentionally care not only for our personal health, but also for the inter-connected well-being of others and the natural world. Neuroscience and collective wisdom have given us skills to rest and rewire our emotional health. Just as we nourish our physical bodies and brush our teeth every day, we can "brush our emotions everyday"! Amidst the increasingly complex tensions of modern lifestyles, I'll be sharing how my experiences in Afghanistan taught me skills to rewire my heart-&-mind, and discussing ways to reduce stress and enhance the compassionate well-being of all.
