HOL 2811 - Resiliency Training for Leaders

Will provide you the skills, knowledge and techniques and the practice necessary to apply what you learn to be a more successful leader; a leader who can influence others to make healthy life decisions. This entails a holistic approach where mind, body, spirit are integrated in order to function to your fullest. In these times of increasing stress and rapid and unsettling change, successful leaders are those who are able to see clearly, adjust appropriately, listen openly to others, be creative, decide with confidence and act with conviction. In the classroom component, we focus on training the mind as the mind is central to your perceptions of life, your beliefs and the decisions that you make. You will be introduced, through direct experience to the practical application of clearing, calming, centering, and focusing your mind in your daily life. This direct application in daily life will give you glimpses of its potential value for you in your future careers as leaders. Wise and compassionate leaders who embody honor, energy, dedication, values and integrity are needed in every arena of life from government, business, religion and the military to education, energy and the environment. Resiliency Training for Leaders will give you practice in refining your ability to act from your ‘center’, the place a leader acts from to maintain integrity and maximize effectiveness. The field component, will help you realize the benefits of vigorous physical condition and its relationship to the centered mind.
