Help Yourself & Others by Communicating Mindfully

Mental health is a big struggle for millions of Americans. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders impact 1 in 5 adults each year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in people ages 10-34 and the 4th leading cause of death in children between 10 and 14.* As a society, and especially during the COVID19 pandemic, we can help ourselves and each other by learning to practice mindfulness and mindful communication in our everyday lives.

NHTI Business & Training Center is excited to announce that professor Dan Huston, author of Communicating Mindfully, Mindfulness-Based Communication and Emotional Intelligence will be leading an online interactive workshop, Introduction to Mindful Communication on June 2, 2020, 3pm - 5pm.

Mindfulness can help young and old at home and at work/school to improve communication skills and increase emotional intelligence while reducing stress and anxiety. This 2-hour workshop is designed to introduce participants to the Communicating Mindfully (CM) approach to mindfulness as it applies to communication at home and at work.

During this introductory workshop, participants will

  • Learn the foundations of Communicating Mindfully
  • Recognize the contextual nature of effective communication
  • Identify personal and interpersonal communication challenges
  • Explore the benefits of mindful communication
  • Practice mindfulness meditation
  • Set intentions for applying mindful communication to their lives
  • Discuss how mindful communication can lead to increased happiness

At it's core, mindfulness is the practice of paying attention, intentionally, to the present moment in time. In the COVID19 era, practicing mindfulness can help reduce fear, anxiety, stress, even keep you from touching your face.

Join Dan and get your best foot forward in taking charge with the power of mindful communication.

About Dan's Book: Communicating Mindfully describes a method for improving communication skills that combines the study of communication theory with training in mindfulness. This powerful combination reveals how people often interpret the events of their lives unconsciously and communicate habitually and unproductively as a result. By learning to recognize external and internal influences present in our everyday experiences, we can increase our ability to communicate effectively in each unique situation we encounter and modify unproductive communication habits.
