Do you want to learn tools of mindfulness and emotional intelligence to better lead others? In a minor that focusses on topics like mindfulness, stress management, resilience, communication and empathy to make you a better leader? Then Mindful Leaderhip Bali is what you need!
The goal of this minor is to create emotionally intelligent, resilient students who can apply mindfulness to their leadership style and industry of choice. The tools you'll learn to work with can be applied to any industry. This is a unqiue opportunity to work on your personal development skills so that you can become the next Mindful Leader.
Mindful leadership is a mindfulness-based leadership course that can help transform your life and career; but it all starts with transforming yourself first.
This minor focuses on teaching personal development techniques through the means of emotional intelligence, mindfulness meditation, and leadership. Students should note, the emphasis in this minor is on the mindfulness aspect and how it pertains to leadership and not the other way round. Because of this, a dominant portion of the course focuses on your own self-development and self-leadership. This takes both courage and authenticity. Through the learning of various skillsets such as focused awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy, you will understand how to enhance your self-awareness and self-management skills, and overall become a more empathetic leader in the workplace. The theoretical framework this minor is based upon is Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence Quadrant: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management (Goleman, 1995). Such skillsets are proven to be necessary in the dramatically shifting work environment of the 21st century, where burnout rates are increasing exponentially and employee well-being is compromised.
The key to being a superior, emotionally intelligent leader starts first with building a strong personal foundation in your own self-awareness. If your goal is to become a leader in industry who possesses these characteristics as well as cognitive flexibility, clear communication, authenticity, and enhanced empathy, then this course is for you. This minor will provide you with the building blocks to most optimally develop yourself so you can best lead others.
