MINDFUL WARRIOR TESTIMONIALS:
Here is what a past member of the Mindful Warrior Leadership Program had to say about this experience.
“The Mindful Warrior Program encourages awareness of thought behaviors, remaining present when enduring internal or external stressors, and how body language can have an effect on the individual as well as to whom it’s being displayed too. Learning to remain in the moment, not to dwell on the past, and to dismantle anxiety about the future. Engaging with others genuinely with reciprocity, building a conversation instead of just waiting for the cue to respond…. How applying thoughtfulness methods allows for improved communication and understanding among individuals working together, regardless of the adversity…The Mindful Warrior Program has improved my experience of life and I am grateful to have been a part of a program with a wholesome mission.” – Joe C., FA 2019 Mindful Warrior
