- 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, Creating a Resilient Mindset by Kepro: Our resilience is tested in several aspects of our lives, particularly when we are under pressure or find ourselves in a challenging environment. In an ever-evolving and transitioning landscape that often brings fear and uncertainty, it is important for us to know how to adjust effectively and remain resilient. This training will explore our relationship with failure and how by transforming our perception we can discover the vital secrets for developing an adaptable and confident mindset by embracing vulnerability and fear. Specifically, this session will explore the foundation of resilience, understanding yourself and your personal operating system, and identifying the mental obstacles (thoughts, feelings, and attitudes) that get in your way. Participants will focus on five muscles: accepting personal accountability, developing a belief system that encourages and supports success, accurately and objectively assessing your moods and blind spots, perfecting your deep breathing technique, and curating curiosity to view situations from different angles.

- 11:00 am – 11:30 am, Mindfulness Series: Beyond the Body Scan by Kepro: We can’t live without the capacity to be in the present moment. It allows us to observe and recognize our experiences. Even though we think that we control our attention, most of the time we are thinking about the past or the future missing out on what is happening in the present. In this webinar, we will take a deep dive into how mindfulness allows us to recognize what is happening as it is happening, accepting the experience as it is, without changing it. This is something we can do at any time and in any place.
