Leading Differently:
The Power of a Purposeful Pause©
A Two Day Non-Residential Retreat Led by Janice Marturano

Enroll
September 23 and 24, 2015 – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Minnesota Landscape Arboretum – Chaska, Minnesota

In today’s world, we are faced with novel challenges, limited resources, and increased demands for our expertise and time. The constant pressures can deplete our mental resiliency and interfere with many of the hallmarks of leadership excellence, including our ability to focus, to see clearly, to cultivate space for creativity, and to embody compassion.

During this 2-day nonresidential retreat, we will explore mindfulness meditation and practical applications to enhance our ability to lead and live with excellence. We will also uncover ways in which our ability to create space in our day affects our ability to lead–whether we are leading a team, our family or our own lives.

In the beautiful setting of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s Fireplace Room, we will gather to experientially explore this training of the mind. Through meditation, gentle stretching and practical daily applications, we will begin to see how we can lead with excellence- focused, clear, and compassionate.

 

Fee: $450
