Mindfulness at Work

Mindfulness is more than a "buzz word" or "trend'. Mindfulness is the intentional practice of being present in the moment, and allowing yourself to be fully engaged. Learning mindfulness practices can help improve communication, stress management, emotional regulation, and overall productivity in work and life.

Here are some examples of how learning mindfulness can be an asset to your work and life:

Mindfulness in the workplace – Workplace stress is a common occurrence, and can have lasting impact on us both at work and in life. Whether you are the leader in your organization, an employee, or supervisor of employees and their work, mindfulness practices can have a positive impact not only on your own work, but will have a ripple effect on those around you, and can help transform the culture within your organization.

Mindfulness in groups and teams – Stress and conflict can affect how well groups and teams function. Mindful communication can break through barriers and create cohesion and trust in groups. Learning mindfulness can assist individuals, the group as a whole, and improve overall productivity and satisfaction. 

Mindfulness in schools – Mindfulness practices are not only beneficial in work setting, but in schools and classrooms as well. There is growing research to support mindfulness practices as positive behavioral supports. Whether for teaching effectiveness or classroom management, these practices can transform the classroom and school environment. 

Self-care – Whether you experience stress in your professional or personal life, mindfulness practices can help support your overall health and wellness. Developing regular practices can help you find clarity and peace amidst life's circumstances, and empower you in the encounters that once created stress.
