Understand your stress and acknowledge how you feel

Responding and not reacting

Bringing Mindfulness to everyday activities

About this workshop

This workshop gives people the opportunity to be introduced to the idea of mindfulness, and to some of the scientific research that supports our knowledge of its effectiveness, as well as the ‘whys’ and the ‘hows’ of practicing mindfulness.  In addition to learning about the science underpinning why mindfulness works, participants get to experience mindfulness practices for themselves that give an insight to how Mindfulness can improve their physical and mental wellbeing. We also provide some practical exercises for future use that participants can use in the course of their working days.

 

This workshop can help you identify areas of your practice and for you that would benefit from Mindfulness.

We will then focus our energy on your selected areas.

Our workplace mindfulness training will not only help your teams and leaders deal better with the inevitable challenges of the working environment, but also assist your organisation boost productivity and counteract employee absence, staff turnover and interpersonal conflicts.

We use a variety of practical exercises, video clips and handouts to support learning.

The day ends with a session on signposting – there are so many resources available, we will help you cut through the less valuable and help direct further learning in a positive direction.
