- **Event Description**: Popular notions of mindfulness and contemplation tend strongly toward “calming.” Yet “calming” only tells half the story.About this EventPopular notions of mindfulness and contemplation tend strongly toward “calming.” Yet “calming” only tells half the story, which can be deeply problematic when clarity and action are desired or called for. Alternatively, “grit and grace” resonates better with the professional audiences in business and healthcare that I work with. “Grit” captures focus and determination, while “grace” captures composure and compassion. Together these terms reflect in simple terms the mechanisms of “inner work” (managing one’s own nervous system) and “outer work” (managing one’s presence and influence in the world). In this salon, I invite reactions to this framing and seek ideas about how to support “grit and grace” with evidence-based research and wisdom traditions.About Lili PowellLili Powell is Associate Professor at the Darden School and Nursing School and Director of the Compassionate Care Initiative.
