Mindfulness & professional resilience

Mindfulness & professional resilience
Memorial University has partnered with PEGNL to conduct a free webinar on how to build professional resilience through mindfulness training.

Mindfulness practices have been shown to support employee well-being and resiliency, to facilitate clearer thinking, to help people navigate stress and anxiety, and to improve workplace relationships. There is now growing research on how mindfulness can help people manage the unexpected and support problem-solving abilities, particularly in technical contexts.

You’re invited to a 2-hr professional development workshop and focus group to introduce you to the potential benefits of practicing mindfulness in engineering and geoscience contexts.

Join seasoned mindfulness instructor Andrew Safer and facilitator Dr. Janna Rosales (Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Memorial University) who will guide you through a basic mindfulness practice with discussion and reflection on the ways that building a regular practice of mindfulness can support your professional growth and development.

This workshop qualifies as Informal Training under the PEGNL Professional Development program.Participants will be asked to contribute input that will help shape PEGNL’s future professional development offerings.

The first 25 participants to register for the event will receive a free copy of the book “Anxiety, Stress & Mindfulness: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Wellness” by Andrew Safer.

Login and participation instructions will be included in a separate email one week prior to the event.
