FYI Series Lunch&Learn:Demystifying Mindfulness in Workplace
Free for all GGCC members.
Demystifying mindfulness in the workplace.
Come join the fun and the great opportunity to gain insight about mindfulness in the workplace from Psycotherapist Wendy Iglehart, LCPC.
Organizations are spending approximately 8 billion dollars on wellness programs and want to provide a healthy culture and environment. Yet, mindfulness is misunderstood. We will explore the research and why types of mindfulness work in specific situations. You will leave with a bit of Zen, an understanding of mindfulness, and the best practices to implement within your workplace. Plus, there will be delicious treats from Empress Coffee and a small gift for those who attend!
Please feel free to bring lunch from any of these nearby Chamber member locations!
