Well-being at Work: Mindfulness, Dignity, and the Art of Human Connection
In high-demand environments, it can be easy to move through the day on autopilot: solving problems, meeting deadlines, supporting others, and pushing through stress. But sustainable effectiveness requires more than endurance. It requires the ability to pause, refocus, and connect with ourselves and others in ways that preserve dignity, clarity, and purpose.
Join Dr. Ramaswami Mahalingam for a 60-minute virtual session exploring practical mindfulness strategies that support resilience, dignity, and stronger workplace relationships.
Drawing from his Coursera course, Mindfulness, Dignity, and the Art of Human Connection, Dr. Mahalingam will share research-informed practices to help faculty and staff reduce reactivity, build self-awareness, and connect more effectively across roles and perspectives.
Participants will learn ways to:
Regain focus during stressful moments.
Approach workplace interactions with dignity and respect.
Strengthen emotional awareness and communication.
Use simple mindfulness practices at work and beyond.
