St. Joseph’s College Life and Workforce Continuing Education:  February through June, 2014 Community Partners BIZ to TECH Speaker Series How to launch Your Start Up Series:  TOH Launchpad Accelerator for Tech Start-Ups   FEBRUARY 27th 5:30pm   Do you have the Right Stuff to be a Business Tech Entrepreneur? Then this mindfulness workshop is for you.  Our minds are directed in numerous directions simultaneously.  Besides the deluge of information coming at us from people, and an array of media, and a flood of new technologies, our own thoughts tend to focus on moments both from the past and in the future.  We imagine future scenarios and set goals and expectations that may be beyond our reach, thus preventing us from accomplishing our goals.  Mindfulness teaches us how to re-direct our focus solely on the present.  This workshop will teach you how to reset and focus your attention on the business and affairs at hand. Learn how to apply mindful techniques while meditating, exercising, walking or commuting. Learn how to train your mind to be an impartial spectator to what is in front of you in the present moment.   Be more productive by directing your focus where you aim it.  This session will consist of an open discussion, a brief lecture and a guided meditation.
