Practice what is appropriate for you
This is the core idea from the corporate workshops: to give each person in the team the tools to go back to themselves, learn to relax and have a clear mind and from this place of calm be able to connect with others in the team, in the company and with the customers.
The workshop will be tailored to serve the goals that we will define together based on the needs of the team. For example, we can train capabilities like deep listening and empathy, that are really important to create a link with peers and customers, and to bring the work to the next level.
Compassion and generosity are also values that increase the resilience and team commitment, and can be trained and strengthened with the right practices.
With clarity of mind and a committed team, it is easier to streamline processes to serve the company’s purpose better.

Research on Mindfulness at Work
In the last ten years, leading Universities, e.g. Harvard and the MIT, have published several studies that confirm the positive effects of Mindfulness at the workplace.
Companies like Google or SAP have been focusing on it for years, and attribute, to a great extent, their ability to innovate to this.
Research also shows that in companies in which compassion is a relevant and supported aspect, the performance is better and the teams are more committed.

Practice means choosing, applying the effort, and doing those actions that bring a stable and calm state. The practice is well established when done un-interruptedly, with dedication, for a very long time.
