Leadership Action Group
with Dr. Suzanne Kryder

How do you react to irritating situations and people? Most leaders tend to get either angry or anxious.

Purpose

The Calm Leader Action Group lets you explore the power of Mindfulness as a tool for responding calmly in difficult circumstances.

Mindfulness is moment-to-moment, neutral awareness. Mindfulness lets the body relax and the mind become curious, open, and accepting.

Neutral is the new positive.

The purpose of this three-month coaching program is to help you stay calm regardless of the chaos surrounding you. The Action Group delivers a results-producing, transformational experience for you and your leadership style.

• Define neuroleadership
• Learn and practice simple techniques for calming the mind and body throughout the workday
• Cultivate mindfulness as a leader particularly in times of extreme change or stress
• Understand why you react to certain work situations or people with anger or anxiety.
• Learn to stay calm when communicating with difficult people.
