59 EVENT FORMAT Masterclass 2020 Januar y 12-2 3 Masterclass : Be Mind full or Mindful? DESCRIPTION About this 2-day masterclass divided into two sessions An offering with a pre-selection process The concept of time in our everyday life mainly consists of being caught in the past or the future. Present sometimes is almost nonexistent, or we rush it too quickly. According to a Harvard study, 47% of the time is spent in mind wandering, and 70% of leaders regularly report unable to be attentive in meetings. Mindfulness being aware and open in the present enables stability of mind and insight into how we are feeling, thinking and reacting and as a result, leading to better judgment and emotional balance, especially in stressful situations. This masterclass, inspired by a successful program offered in Google and based on current research on brain neuroplastici- ty, will give an overview of mindfulness and how to cultivate it as a foundational skill that enables emotional awareness and interpersonal effectiveness. SPEAKER Sandra Katakalea Head of Talent Management at KAUST CREDITS 5 ** Participants need to bring a notebook and a pen.
