The Metrowest Networkers Group Presents
Brian Kingsley
The job search and career pivots are difficult, strenuous journeys. They can wear you down; overwhelm you; cause you to doubt yourself; damage or even destroy your chance to present well at an interview. So, it's important to take care of yourself.
A critical component in self-care is mindfulness-- the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we're doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what's going on around us. Mindfulness increases emotional resilience and can prevent burnout in this "VUCA world" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VUCA
· Join us to learn the basics of mindfulness and how mindfulness will benefit you.
· Cut through the confusion about what mindfulness is and what mindfulness is not.
· Learn how mindfulness benefits companies that support formal mindfulness programs.
A mindfulness practice doesn't have to take a lot of time, and the benefits to you will grow over time.
Brian Kingsley is a Shamanic Practitioner, Certified Integrative Life Coach and Hypnotist, has completed extensive training in the Chakras and Energy Body. His day job is currently in a DevOps role, helping software developers be more productive.
