Mindfulness for Business

EDC offers free workshop on mindfulness for business
The San Juan County Economic Development Council will present a FREE workshop on the topic of mindfulness in business, on Wednesday, March 8th from 10:00 to 11:00 am on San Juan Island. Advance registration is required.
Mindfulness was once considered a fringe movement in the Western world, but is now being used by companies around the country – including Fortune 500 businesses like Aetna and Google. Employers have found that it lowers health costs, improves employee productivity and helps business owners and employees stay sharply focused on tasks.
The workshop will be taught by noted management consultant, Mike Sanders, author of the book Advanced Multitasking. From his website, www.advanced-multitasking.com: “Mike Sanders is a senior program manager, change manager, instructor, public speaker, technical writer, published author, and Native American. He champions a collaborative, servant-leader approach to management with a passion in organizational psychology.”
Details: San Juan Island, on Wednesday, March 8th from 10-11 a.m. at the San Juan Island Library in Friday Harbor. Free workshop; advance registration is required: https://edcmindfulness.eventbrite.com. For more information, please call 360-378-2906 or email: info [@] sanjuansedc.org.
