Workplace mindfulness
“Mindfulness should no longer be considered a ‘nice to have’ for executives. It’s a ‘must have’ – a way of keeping our brains healthy, to support self-regulation and effective decision making.”
Harvard Business Review
Mindfulness creates the mental space we need to thrive in the modern workplace, with its complexities, constant change and uncertainties.
Using this powerful technique transforms how we think and act. It is the quality of awareness that comes from paying attention to what is going on for us and around us right now, with openness and curiosity.
