Session Name:

How to Empower Your Inner CEO with Mindfulness and Meditation

Overview:

Mindfulness and meditation empower your prefrontal cortex, which we call your "inner CEO". The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions such as prioritization, focusing attention, making decisions, initiating action, and inhibiting inappropriate actions. Mindfulness is simply paying complete attention to the present moment without judgment. So why do it? Because a growing mountain of scientific evidence suggests that mindfulness and meditation: Improves self-control and emotional regulation, reduces stress and increase happiness, and improves your ability to focus in an extremely distracting world. In this highly interactive workshop, you'll try several forms of mindfulness, including meditation techniques that can be immediately applied in a busy day leading game development. You will leave with a more powerful inner CEO, and the ability to bring mindfulness to your biggest game development challenges.
