Mindfulness at GVSU
GVSU staff member, Stacey Burns, leads a mindfulness activity at the GVSU Farmers Market.
Trainings Offered
Emotional Strength Training
We understand the importance of physical conditioning; what about emotional conditioning? How strong and resilient are we during stressful and trying times? How do we handle the constant pressure to perform in rapidly changing environments?
This training focuses on strengthening emotional well-being, which is accomplished by caring for ourselves both responsively and proactively. Much like a physical regimen, this experience intends to build emotional muscle through self-compassion and increased emotional agility. Be prepared to work through personal or work related situations, and leave with a tangible process to approach situations in the future.

Interpersonal Effectiveness
Need to have a difficult conversation, but don’t know where to start? This training will help participants communicate effectively and will provide specific tools to address barriers of effective communication.
Participants will learn how to use mindfulness to manage emotions that can interfere during interpersonal communication, and how to validate and listen more effectively. They will develop tools to help when communicating with people from diverse backgrounds and different disciplines.
During the training, all participants will be able to use real life examples to role play and practice using the skills they learned. They will work through a specific script that will help them hone in on their message.
