Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Profesionals
Our mindfulness-based training and workshops for corporate clients focus on improving the well-being, resilience,stress-management techniques and collaborative skills of participants. Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment (we generally tend to think of either the past or the present), as the moment unfolds, with an attitude of openness and curiosity.
With myriad forms of technology invading all aspects of our daily lives, we are bombarded from morning until night with so much information that it is very difficult to judge the trustworthy from the unreliable, the reality from the fake, the truth from the lies. This seriously undermines our ability to make good decisions.
At one end of the spectrum, attention-deficit disorder is becoming a serious issue among white-collar workers. At the other end, the ability to handle complex data and express one’s thoughts clearly and precisely to colleagues has become a requisite for professional success.
This is where mindfulness training comes into the picture, as it teaches participants individual and team skills that can be applied on a daily basis to reduce stress and improve well-being and health.
During our eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress-Reduction programme, we focus on participants’ ability to adapt to a constantly changing work environment by teaching them to focus more effectively and think more clearly, which naturally leads to the creation of original ideas in the mind-space created. Through the programme, participants will learn how to strengthen their resilience, improve their performance and develop the collaborative skills that are so critical in today’s modern work environment.
Thank you for your interest in mindfulness training. You can find more information below on our Mindfulness- Based Stress-Reduction programme.
