Mrs Mindset was recently called upon to deliver a Mindfulness Workshop for a large organisation’s business leaders. You may wonder why a multinational company would value mindfulness as being of benefit to their leaders.
In the last few years mindfulness has become a hot business trend and media interest in mindfulness has increased. In Feb 2013 the BBC featured leaders of the world economic forum learning mindfulness; in March 2013 mindfulness was discussed in 10 Downing Street
Organisations that incorporate mindfulness into their working day include Google, Twitter, Facebook, IBM, NHS and Unilever. Google include a 2 minute meditation before meetings and conduct gratitude exercises.
These companies recognise that –
MINDFULNESS = BRAIN TRAINING = TRAINING AWARENESS & ATTENTION
As well as looking at the theory behind mindfulness we also undertook some practical mindfulness exercises which helped the delegates to be fully present. This demonstrated how much mind chatter they experience on a day to day basis and how they can use mindfulness to respond to events with clarity rather than on auto pilot mode.
The delegates came away with practical mindset tools they could implement in their daily lives.
Mrs Mindset is looking forward to working with another large organisation who has asked for help with Developing a Positive Growth Mindset for their company executives
