Mindful Business Coaching
Designed for leaders and managers, this programme uniquely combines the learning and application of mindfulness to:
- you and the personal aspects of your life, as the foundation of success
- your current work situation, including mindfully leading your team, strategically developing your organization and ethically influencing others
This programme reaches into the centre-most point of modern leadership and management, and it’s not for the faint-hearted. At a time when people are becoming increasingly wary, with more and more opportunities to disengage, the challenge is to understand genuinely the needs, wants and whole-hearted desires of individuals. Mindfulness maps out how to do this, but it’s not something that can be simply added into an existing toolbox of skills. When you are in a state of mindfulness, it pervades you and everything you do; tools come to seem trivial and irrelevant.
Mindfulness in the business context can seem counterintuitive. And that’s where its power lies.
The starting point is to embody mindfulness in your head, heart and gut by taking formal mindfulness practices. From here, you will have the opportunity to apply the visceral learning to as much or as little of your whole life as you wish. You will experience your working life as you never have before, seeing situations afresh, and, in doing so, creating new insights and strategies for moving forward.
This process isn’t instantaneous, and it’s not an easy ride. You should be prepared to work hard but do so very differently from the way you have before. It does require risks to be taken, and that’s why it’s about leadership and for leaders. It’s an investment in you that will repay you, and those around you, in unexpected ways. Resilience becomes less about about putting on a suit of armour or applying a set of techniques, and more about staying in a state of continuous, natural and effortless flow. As you become more mindfully aware, your deepening authenticity opens you up to more profound connections and to being, almost inevitably, even more inspirational.
