How To Develop Mindful Habits At Work & Life

How successful would you be if you were the best version of yourself most of the time?

Mindfulness is an exercise in self-awareness to learn more about what motivates and demotivates you. This education about yourself allows you to make conscious decisions about how you want to use your personal energy.

Self-learning is exponential. As you change and update your habits, all other parts of your life follow suit. Changing yourself on the inside also impacts the world on the outside, and people respond in kind to your new way of being.

Why your daily habits are critical to your professional success:

Our busy calendars and multiple responsibilities don't allow us much time to reflect on ourselves. When we do, it's in short bursts of correcting ourselves. Taking the time to honestly look in the mirror not only reveals those areas you'd like to improve over time, but also those areas you have already improved.

Mindfulness means "paying attention to the present moment without judgment." Approaching your actions, thoughts, and beliefs with this attitude lets you be gentle with your analysis and offers clarity into what steps you can take to grow.

Mindfulness helps you better process situations and make decisions that incrementally improve your life.

Here are some habits you'll learn in this course:

How to break down stress that affects you negatively throughout the day
How to slow down and organize your day so you can prioritize what matters
How to test your balance and manage your energy levels during the day
How to trigger yourself to be "in the zone" and be more efficient
How to stop procrastinating and get things done when you need to
How to go let go of what you can't control and remain level-headed
How to sustain a high level of productivity over long periods of time
How to maintain calm in stressful situation and make better decisions

Course Dates: Jan 12, Jan 19, Jan 26 & Feb 2 - 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific.

Testimonials from Past Participants

A tried-and-tested approach to mindfulness in the workplace:

This course has been field-tested at healthcare companies, wellness firms, and non-profit foundations with hundreds of employees and business leaders.

Proven within a variety of corporate settings, I am making this course available to you individually. Past participants - knowledge workers, freelancers, executives - have discovered a new lens they can use to be effective at work. Here are a few examples:

"The concepts in the mindfulness workshop are relatable and extremely helpful. They helped me focus on the present and improve my daily routine."

"I really looked forward to these sessions, as a time out from the typical pace, and for introspection, re-thinking, and always some priceless moments to feel serene and at peace."

"The content of the sessions really makes you stop and think and gives you new ways to look at problems. I always feel very relaxed after attending the classes."

I feel the time investment in the course will be returned immeasurably, both in increased productivity and better mindset. In short, I believe it's made me a better employee, supervisor, and colleague."

Course Curriculum

This professional development course follows a specific sequence to help you develop habits that will last. All four sessions are necessary and part of an integrated curriculum in developing a more mindful approach to your work and life.

Session 1: January 12

RESILIENCE
In the first session, we'll look at mental and emotional reactions to negative events and learn to bounce back quickly. We'll seek to answer the following questions:

How do you respond to difficult situations that throw you off balance?
How can you recover from mistakes and failures and keep going?

You will learn the principles and practices for developing healthy habits of resilience that will make you more effective and improve your wellbeing.

Session 2: January 19

SELF-AWARENESS
In the second session, we'll learn where we are directing our attention and what's affecting our energy levels. High-intensity jobs require focus AND sustained performance. We'll seek to answer the following questions:

How do you find your on switch and off switch to maintain peak performance?
How do you work successfully under high-pressure deadlines?

We will discuss skills that will enable you to be more focused AND balanced. You'll improve your attention in the moment and learn to maintain a confident sense of calm.

Session 3: January 26

PRODUCTIVITY
In the third session, we'll dive into what motivates you and what holds you back from being productive. We'll seek to answer the following questions:

How do you handle more work while maintaining your sanity and focus?
How do you define productivity? And how does that definition affect your effectiveness?

Using powerful meditation tools, psychological hacks, and neural triggers, we will explore and train you to use the skills that will enable you to be more focused and balanced.

Session 4: February 2

CREATIVITY
In the final session, we'll explore what mental and environmental cues boost your creativity levels. We'll see to answer the following questions:

How can you think outside of the box when you’re in it?
What practices and routines activate a creative mindset?

We will challenge the tired old ways of approaching our work and you will leave this session energized and motivated to think differently and creatively about what’s in front of you.

"When I work with people on practicing presence and non-judgment in the workplace, I am continually amazed at the transformation they make. Their entire attitude towards colleagues, clients, leaders, and themselves changes. The work pressures remain high, but people say they don't feel stress the way they did before. They are removed from the stress, and the experience of feeling calm, cool, and collected finally makes sense. I'm inspired to share this process with others."
