More Course Details

Meet with two experts in a facilitated discussion of mindfulness and reflection; Rick Willson, FAICP, and Dr. Anita Stauffer. Both concepts are essential to practice, but they are often confused or passed over in the urgency of the moment.

Mindfulness practice can free the best of your cognitive and emotional intelligence when your patience and the collaborative process are stuck. Reflection processes can keep you anchored in the process of thinking in action so that you can make wise practical judgments in the moment, assess past experiences, and have a language to share your thought process with others.
