Contemplative Leadership

A contemplative paradigm opens new possibilities for understanding leadership. As Jon Kabat-Zinn describes it, contemplation leads to "a deep familiarity and intimacy with the activity and reactivity of one's own mind, and some competency in navigating through our mind moments and emotions with equanimity, clarity, and commitment." Contemplative leaders experience and invite increased awareness, concentration and creativity, as well as reduced stress and anxiety. Kat Baker will explore with us how to employ the benefits of contemplative leadership in our particular professional arenas.

Please join us for breakfast with Kat in the Divinity School Reading Room from 7:30 am to 9:00 am. Registration fee is free for students and $10.00 for non-students.
