We can train our attention to improve brain power, mood, and performance—and we can do it in as little as 12 minutes a day.

What’s new?
How can paying attention increase energy and focus? Spoiler alert: it all takes practice, and practice can be hard to maintain. But in these two new webinars, Dr. Jha will teach you the mindfulness techniques that help increase performance in high stress, high stakes environments – and in everyday life.
Peak Mind: Dr. Amishi Jha on Sharpening Attention and Boosting Mood
When we’re trying to focus on a task, get a job done, or fully engage with the people in our lives, distraction becomes more than a challenge—it can impact our mood, making everything feel a little bit harder…and a little bit less joyful. In this Q&A session, Dr. Jha will introduce simple practices anyone can do to sharpen attention and boost mood.
Peak Mind: Impact and Practice
Dr. Jha is joined by a panel of our mindfulness experts to share practical advice for starting, re-booting, and maintaining your personal pursuit of a peak mind.

Meet Dr. Amishi Jha
Dr. Amishi Jha is the director of Contemplative Neuroscience and Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami. Dr. Jha leads research on the effects of mindfulness-based training programs on corporate leaders, elite athletes, first responders, the U.S. military and many others who must perform in high stakes environments. Her work shows how attention can be trained to improve brain power, mood and performance in just 12 minutes a day.
