Mindfulness Lived: Connecting with YOU

January 24, 2023

This first session starts at what should be the beginning of any mindful journey, and that is exploring the relationship between you and yourself.

Stop Letting That Difficult Person Ruin Your Day and Team

February 23, 2023

We all encounter people we find difficult, and typically conversations with them leave us feeling stressed and frustrated. Stress, uncertainty, and crisis impact how we communicate and how we interact with our colleagues and customers. During the beginning of COVID-19, we saw a focus on patience, support, and collaboration. Now, we are seeing that patience is waning. Expectations are higher. And negativity is on the rise.

Strategies for Leaders to Confidently Deal with Toxic Behaviours

April 18, 2023

Mindful communication: connecting with US

May 9, 2023

This third session will build on the previous two sessions whilst still standing alone, and in session three we will explore the ‘Art of Communication’.

Session four pulls together the previous three sessions to explore and understand how to create mindful and radical engagement.

However, this can so often come across as ‘change by imposition’.
