Three questions for the lecturer:

Why is continuing education in mindful leadership currently of interest to many professionals?
Resilience is increasingly becoming an important soft skill in the world of work. Mindful leadership offers specialists and managers the opportunity to promote their own resilience and that of their employees and thus successfully meet challenges such as a high workload and intensive change processes.
