February 2014 OD Special Interest Group (SIG) Meeting

Mindfulness Without Butt on Cushion: Extending the Benefits of Mindfulness beyond Meditation

Mindfulness is quickly emerging as a recognizable practice for health and wellbeing, from Leadership Development to helping our Military personnel cope with the traumas of war. For some, just hearing the word "mindfulness" automatically brings up the image of the Yogi, seated cross-legged and deep in meditation. 

In our February OD-SIG meeting, we will discover than mindfulness is much more than just sitting on a cushion.  It is a transformative way of being, of leading, and of communicating.
