Mindfulness and the Creative Spirit

Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2019 from 12:10-12:45 PM PT

In this webinar, Hugh Delehanty, a bestselling author and meditation teacher, will lead us in discussion about the powerful role that mindfulness can play in breaking through persistent blocks and unlocking our innate creativity. Hugh started meditating in his 30s when he was overwhelmed by his high-pressure job as an editor at Sports Illustrated and discovered that the key to creativity wasn’t about transporting yourself into a special trancelike state but becoming deeply attuned to the state you’re in, right here, right now. We’ll explore the latest neuroscientific research on mindfulness and creativity and learn what successful artists, such as Stephen King, Maya Angelou, and Garrison Keillor, have to teach us about crafting a more fulfilling and creative life. 

This webinar is also part of our Mindfulness @Work 21-Day Challenge, helping our participants leverage the Hello Mindful App to work more mindfully throughout their workday as well as adding mindfulness practices to achieve the benefits discussed in this webinar.

Compassion @Work and Beyond — Mindfulness in Action!

Monday, June 10, 2019 from 12:10-12:40 PM PT

In this webinar, Scott Shute, Chief Mindfulness Officer and former VP of Global Customer Operations at LinkedIn, is back for yet another invaluable and insightful conversation, this time about the role of compassion at work and beyond. Traditionally, compassion has been more of a social virtue but not necessarily a core part of doing business. However, over the years, the world of emotional intelligence and mindfulness have shown that compassion is equally important and effective at work and can help boost both personal and professional fulfillment and success.

Scott spearheaded the mindfulness movement at LinkedIn enabling thousands of employees to experience amazing benefits including reducing stress, increasing self-fulfillment and improving work results. Scott will discuss how mindfulness meditation can lead to more compassion and authenticity at work, therefore allowing us to “show up” more fully and bridge the gap between our passion and our work endeavors and therefore redefining our relationship with work and our enjoyment at work.

This webinar is also part of our Mindfulness @Work 21-Day Challenge, helping our participants leverage the Hello Mindful App to work more mindfully throughout their workday as well as adding mindfulness practices to achieve the benefits discussed in this webinar.
