Join AustCham for a special event with one of the corporate trainers for QUANTUM LEADERSHIP — an experiential workshop designed for senior global executives to amplify inspirational leadership by combining embodied-experiential learning with analytic-cognitive skill development.

In April 2019, OCTAVE will be bringing QUANTUM LEADERSHIP from USA and Singapore to China, however Sook Yee Tai, from Singapore, will be in China during December and she has kindly offered to speak at the co-partnered AustCham Elevate & IPWS event about Mindfulness and its vital nature for strong and inspiring leadership presence in today’s world of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity).

Mindfulness has been linked to:

• More head space to unleash creativity and innovative thinking.
• Increased self-awareness which can be applied to a wide variety of situations to respond thoughtfully rather than react defensively.
• Development of empathy for collaborative communications.
• Increased resilience and bounce back from setbacks with a growth-oriented mindset.
