The Powerful Link Between Mindfulness and Physical Presence Mindfulness is characterized by nonjudgemental awareness of oneself in relation to the environment; it involves openness, curiosity and general acceptance toward other people. Mindful leaders manage their negative thoughts and feelings, rather than react to them - which means they are able to consciously choose the best response to a given situation. They are more purposeful in how they approach different situations, and they are also able to be more flexible in how they respond. The more consistently leaders bring a mindful presence to their day to day activities, the greater the trust they inspire, the greater their influence becomes, the better their decisions are and the more effectively they lead. Mindfulness has been proven to be hugely beneficial to positive experiences, well-being and influence. When we are mindful, this affects self-confidence, body language and presence in a positive way.

The Power of Market-Creating Innovation Innovation is a commonly used buzzword, but it has lost a lot of value because of its ubiquity. What do we mean by innovation? What types of innovation are there? How can understanding the different types of innovation help us do better work? Market-creating innovations transform complicated and expensive products into products that are simple and affordable so that many more people in society can have access to them. In doing so, these innovations create a new market because they target non-consumers. Efosa Ojomo explains the critical role of market-creating innovations in not only serving as new growth engines for companies, but also as a foundation for sustained economic development of a region. Using theories and models developed by Professor Clayton Christensen and his team, Ojomo demonstrates how innovations that create new markets impact peoples' lives, and challenges us to change how we think about innovation in our organizations.

Welcome to your very first step into the Wing Chun Kung Fu system and our organisation Wing Chun International. It is important to note our Beginners Programme is in fact known as "Phase 1 -Beginners" Phase 1- Beginners on average takes 8 months to complete before moving on to Phase 2 known as "Phase 2 - Intermediate". We have designed and structured our programmes and lessons in such a way for students to gain the knowledge and tools to protect themselves from day one, with each lesson and rotation building on the last rotation. We do this by breakdown Phase 1 - Beginners into a two month rotation curriculum where we repeat the same programme every 2 months, 4 times to make the 8 months. Each time the student repeats a rotation his/her;s understanding and ability will improve plus each grade has a slight different focus and testing. This means in Phase 1 - Beginners we have 4 levels or better known as student Grades 1, 2, 3 & 4. Here within this online lesson we are primary focused on what the student MUST know in order to pass each of the rotations with this lesson being the 1st Student Grade. We do highly recommend student upgrade if not already and purchase the whole of the Phase 1 - Beginners programme rather than just purchase what they will be tested within each grades.

Driving Innovation from Within - A Guide for Employees and Organizational Leaders 'Innovation' brings to mind the maverick entrepreneur who quits their job, at unimaginable odds, to build a business on their own. But this entrepreneurial story is a myth. As a successful entrepreneur, author, consultant and CEO, Kaihan Krippendorff argues that intrapreneurs - employees who incubate new businesses within corporations - have had a far greater impact on the world. Nearly all of the most transformative innovations over the past three decades, from e-mail and the Internet to DNA sequencing and MRI scans, were introduced by employees who did not quit their jobs but instead took the challenge of innovating from within. Drawing on five years of in-depth research of hundreds of successful innovators and Intrapreneurial Intensity, as well as insights from thought leaders, C-suite leaders, business unit leaders, and front-line employees, Kaihan will share exclusive insights from his book, Driving Innovation From Within: A Guide for Internal Entrepreneurs (Columbia University Press, 2019). In this inspiring keynote, you will learn about: The IN-OVATE Framework The seven barriers of internal innovation and how to overcome them The six characteristics of Internal Innovators The seven steps to build an agile innovation team How to disrupt your competition without disrupting your business What it takes to lead an innovative organization and drive transformation How to shift your organizational mindset and culture How to build a wave of internal support for growth, innovation and creativity by reinforcing the idea that innovation is possible, attainable, and ultimately actionable
