Having spent the last 15 years with one foot grounded in Healthcare Leadership and the other in Mindfulness and Yoga practice, Hazim aims to share how mindfulness may manifest in the leadership role, sharing insights and practices that may support established and developing leaders. This session will be a combination of sharing, engaging, and practice with the ultimate goal of understanding the leadership role and how to better engage with it. This is a session that is open to all, as we all face moments where we have to take on a leadership role. Hazim will share the importance of approaching leadership with kindness, curiosity, presence and wisdom.
