From the course: Mindfulness: A Critical Skill for Project Managers

Mindfulness matters to project managers

- As a project manager, do you find yourself pulled in different directions, stressed sometimes to the point of overwhelm, or feeling like you are unable to lead effectively because of all the distractions? Integrating mindfulness into your day will help you be poised, present, focused, effective, and calm, whatever your project and stakeholders throw at you. Mindfulness is not something extra to do. It is something that makes you able to do more. I'm Ruth Pearce, coach, lifelong project manager, and ambassador for the VIA Institute on Character. In this course, we'll take discoveries from psychology, behavioral science, and project management, and apply them to our work as project managers, to make us more effective. Along the way, you will develop practices that you can use wherever you are and whenever you need to, no special equipment required. Join me on this exciting and fun journey, and together, we will learn about mindfulness, a critical skill for project managers.
