"It's not so much about being 'woke' as it is being present with the capacity to pause and ask critical questions that reveal our biases and move us in the direction of inclusion and equity that sets apart leaders that lead in DEI and those that passively go along for the ride."

During this session, Anakha Coman will be discussing the following key points:

-Presence and practice trumps performance and perfection.

-Vulnerability and humility are essential in building partnerships across difference.

-How to take action and experiment in the midst of feeling uncertain and unsure

-It's an inside job first and foremost, we start close in with unwinding biases and conditioning

-How to cultivate the capacity to be in discomfort, tension, volatility and regulate our strong emotions is a super power.

-Imagining and visioning what is possible - we often know what we don't want, but what do we want instead?

-Making sure to stay humble and ready to fumble!

Employees face a complex variety of challenges today. To cultivate an awareness, practice, and understanding on how to flourish in this current environment, Source Wellness has created "The Intersection."This webinar series explores the intersection of DEIMW - Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Mindfulness, and Wellness. Each of these components, which often are taught separately, strengthen each other and provide more value when taught together.

Source Wellness interviews subject matter experts whose work connects to DEIMW so that we can collectively uncover the ways that we can heal, grow, and thrive on a personal and systematic level.The Intersection supports us in our lives and at work. Three core principles outline the importance of The Intersection:

1) DEI without Mindfulness & Wellness does not give practitioners the tools & skills to confront implicit bias or combat burnout.

2) Mindfulness without DEI and Wellness can be used to make people more efficient at the expense of wellbeing and inclusivity.

3) Wellness without Mindfulness and DEI neglects a crucial component of mind-training and can be very white-centric.
