Many large and small companies throughout the UK understand that well-being in the workplace contributes to the bottom line. Mindfulness is now seen as an integral element in fostering well-being in many organisations.
This one-day course focuses on being mindful when making decisions. So many things we do in the workplace become automatic actions that are barely noticed. Being Mindful is about being attentive and present in the moment. Accepting ourselves and others while willing to change and helping others to change. They say that the world is run by those who turn up. Mindfulness at its core is about fully participating in our own lives today rather than dwelling on the past or fearing the future. This in turn provides the opportunity to manage emotions and perform to our full potential.

6 Paths to Mindfulness:
1). Being in the Present with awareness. Focus on the NOW rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about future events.
2). Accepting ourselves and others with kindness and compassion.
3). Observing, Describing and saying it straight. Challenging ‘I can’t do it’ or ‘I won’t do it’ by communicating effectively.
4). Being Willing to Change and Committing to wholeheartedly taking part in an active way
5). Being non-judgemental. Leaving behind ‘I should have’ or ‘I would have’
6). Asking our ‘Wise Mind’ to provide the answer. The wise mind is where the emotional mind meets the rational mind and can often provide us with that ‘Eureka’ moment helping is to creatively take the right path.
