Paul MacCormack, Superintendent and General Manager, Fox Meadow Golf Course, Prince Edward Island, Canada

This webinar will discuss the vital importance of mindfulness and self-care during times of great stress. Our jobs as superintendents are stressful enough, but add in a global pandemic, the threat of climate change and social upheaval, and the idea of living mindfully makes a great deal more sense.

Themes like vulnerability, presence and resilience have taken on new meaning during these difficult times. Attendees will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness, the value of meditation and reflection, and why compassion and kindness mean more now than ever before. We will also discuss the value of mindfully-based leadership and how it can help superintendents be supporters of not only their staff, but also their communities as a whole.
