Launchpad Learning Online
Conversations
The 15: Minute Mind – Presented by “The 25 Hour Day”
Registration details here.
Weekdays from 12:30pm – 1:30pm EST
“A leader is best when people barely know she exists. When her work is done, her aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” However, in order to lead others, you must first be able to lead yourself. The 15: Minute Mind is a series that teaches creatives how in less than 15 minutes a day they can establish a simple daily practice that allows them to improve their mental health, overcome challenges more easily, and be better leaders.
