Professional Development

Bring the benefits of mindful presence to your continuing education and work life. Naropa's Mindful at Work professional development course combines science-based research and experiential learning in an eight-week, online program designed for leaders, changemakers, and organizations.

Mindfulness—an inherent human ability—is strengthened through awareness and practice. With simple tools and basic skills that expand mental and emotional capacity, we can respond skillfully to difficult situations with confidence, as we make decisions and negotiate respectfully with coworkers.

A mindful revolution is spreading across all sectors of professional life, as organizations integrate mindfulness practices to grow efficiency, compassion, and creativity while employees increasingly seek balance at work and at home with self-awareness and equanimity. As innovative leadership and certification programs, including mindfulness training, become more widely offered, Naropa is playing a critical role in ensuring that leaders in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors can benefit from cutting-edge research and practice in continuing education.

Naropa’s vision is to provide transformational continuing education and professional development that draws upon the disciplines of contemplative practice, organizational learning, expressive arts, neuroscience, and complexity science for improved performance at work and in life.

After completing the Mindful at Work professional development online course, you will receive a digital certificate of completion branded with the Naropa University seal. Please note that this professional development course does not offer credit for continuing education or a professional certificate.
