Date: April 19, 2021
Time: 12:30 – 1:30

Seminar overview: Professionals often overlook the impact of mounting workloads, multiple demands and highly stressful environments on their ability to perform. Mindfulness can turn these workplace challenges into opportunities by helping us to work with our innate qualities, be less reactive and appreciate different perspectives for healthier workplace interactions. The benefits of mindfulness are even more important in this age of COVID-19.

This workshop will feature some Mindful@Work materials developed by Mindfulness Without Borders. The program was developed to mitigate the challenges and stresses of the modern workplace. The Mindfulness Without Borders curriculum draws from the scientific expertise and collaborated works of a variety of internationally-respected leaders.

Professor Telfer will introduce participants to mindfulness, the positive benefits of being mindful and why mindfulness is relevant for the legal profession and how it can help improve lawyer well-being. The session will focus on mindfulness practices and strategies and how these practices can work with emotional intelligence topics.
