Open Stance

In these uncertain times of disruptions, vast technological and collective world changes, and trauma, knowing how to be open to what is and being flexible is a critical skill. When you approach life with an open stance, you can clearly observe what is present without collapsing from stress or blaming others or yourself. An open stance will allow you to choose actions that will expand possibilities and bring you more vitality and joy.
Openness is contagious. When we model being open, we inspire openness in others, which supports resilience, wellbeing, and thriving for everyone involved.
Ann Van Eron, PhD, shares the case for adopting an open mindset and stance. She explains a process for building mental muscle and shifting from being closed to open. Multiple practices are offered for embodying an open stance.
As an executive and team coach, Ann has spent decades supporting many organizations, including the United Nations, World Bank Group, CVS Health, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and Ford Motor Company, adopt these open stance practices. Leaders, managers, coaches, parents, and influencers have all benefited from them.
Now it's your turn to learn how to be mindful while interacting at home, work, and in your community to positively influence others.
