Certificate Programs - eCornell
Unlock your inclusive leadership potential through mindfulness and meditation. This certificate program prepares you to be successful with the intercultural aspects of working in an organization by developing your own inner resources and changing your perspective.
The first course emphasizes improving relationships with people who are different from ourselves. Through instruction and exercises, you will discover how to cultivate mindfulness through meditation as a means for self-reflection and leadership development. As you advance in the course, storytelling will be introduced as part of contemplative meditation. You’ll hear stories from real business leaders and discover how other organizations navigate intercultural communication. You will have the opportunity to reflect on these stories as well as share your own relevant experiences as you develop your own sense of self-awareness and achieve a shift in perspective.
Please note that meditating 10 to 30 minutes a day is an expectation of this course. You’ll be required to complete the first course in this certificate before the others.
This certificate includes a year of free access to Symposium! These events feature live, highly participatory virtual Zoom sessions with Cornell faculty and experts to explore today’s most pressing topics. Throughout the year, you may participate in as many sessions as you wish. Attending a Symposium is not required to successfully complete the certificate program.
