What to expect

This free course is the first seven lectures of a larger Leadership powered by Mindfulness (LpM) program from Stephen Presley, PhD, founder of Upgrading Leaders. It combines mind-development practices with leadership training, on the premise that today's complex, fast-changing world demands new ways of thinking, not just new leadership tactics.

Who it's for

Working professionals, managers, and senior executives interested in an approach to leadership development that starts with mindfulness rather than conventional management technique alone.

Key takeaways

Why meditation and mindfulness can serve as a foundation for better leadership
An overview of research connecting mindfulness practice to leadership effectiveness
Practical guidance on how to get started meditating

This free portion covers the "Overview and Getting Started" section only. The full paid program continues into deeper meditation practice, defining leadership, compassion in leadership, and integrating the learning, for those who want to go further.

About this course

Work and lead more effectively by learning to use your mind differently, by aligning it better to today’s complex world, and by expanding your leadership skills with state-of-the-art leadership practices that tap into everyone's contributions.

What's unusual about the LpM course is its inclusion of mind development practices and leadership elements. Why do this? Because of the cognitive and emotional demands we now face from a complex and rapidly changing world – those demands are really challenging us. At times they can seem overwhelming. You’ve probably heard Einstein’s famous saying that you can’t solve [big] problems with the same level of consciousness that created them. I think it is undeniable today that we need to see and think differently, especially when it comes to leadership. We need to upgrade our minds to understand better and deal with today’s complex challenges. After all, these challengers certainly have been upgraded regarding their volatility and complexity.

THIS FREE PORTION of the LpM course comprises the first seven lectures from section 1 of the full LpM course on our upgradingleaders website. Here's the overall structure of the free portion.

- Why meditation and mindfulness as a means to improve leadership

- Research findings on meditation and mindfulness and how they relate to leadership

-How to get started meditating.

The full LpM course is comprised of the following five sections.

- Section 1: Overview and Getting Started

- Section 2: Going Deeper with Meditation and Mindfulness

- Section 3: Defining Leadership

- Section 4: Compassion and Leadership

- Section 5: Integrating Your Learning

Whether you are a working professional, manager, or senior executive, if you are interested in improving your leadership, I encourage you to take a look at this uncommon and effective approach. You can find the full LpM course at our upgradingleaders website.

I wish you the very best in your efforts to learn and grow.
