After working as a full-time environmental engineer for eight years, Elyssa Dixon, P.E., M.ASCE, took a sabbatical to reevaluate the direction of her career and life. During that time, she deepened her mindfulness practice that, she says, made managing her mental health easier while also making her a better engineer. Since then, Dixon has become a mindfulness coach who specializes in working with engineers and other problem-solvers. She focuses on the power of mindfulness to strengthen such skills as communication, teamwork, leadership, self-awareness, and bias awareness. Dixon spoke with Civil Engineering about what it means to practice mindfulness and how it can help engineers in particular. |
