19 JAN 2018: Center for Appreciative Practice–Wisdom and Wellbeing Speaker Series
Martin’s talk is entitled The Wisdom of Leveraging Difference: The Necessity of Mindfulness for Building and Inclusive Culture
Far too little attention has been paid to how mindfulness can be an asset in working amidst difference. Individuals who cultivate a contemplative practice position themselves to engage with the challenges that diversity of identity, background and thought can surface. However, overcoming diversity challenges is just the tip of the iceberg. Mindfulness is among the most powerful tools a person can have for leveraging difference, for helping us connect with one another to get real work done well.
