“…the most important thing is to invest in emotional intelligence and mental balance, because the hardest challenges will be psychological”
Yuval Noah Harari
Individual growth: Organisational growth
Mindfulness training is as much about skills and competency development as it is about health and wellbeing.
We work with organisations committed to facilitating sustainable behaviour change and who emphasise the growth of their people as much as they do the growth of their business, recognising of course that the two are inextricably linked.
Cultivating mindful organisations
Our ‘Four Trees’ model supports organisations from their first explorations of mindfulness through individual skills development to the organisational integration of more mindful approaches to work.
Introductory Events
Awareness-raising through taster sessions and introductory workshops
Mindfulness and Compassion Training
Tailored training to meet organisational needs
Continued Development
Embedding approaches for a sustainable and better new norm
Mindful Organisations
Integrating brain-friendly behaviours, psychological safety, emotional agility and creativity
Investing in people
Whether you are looking to support employees who are struggling to respond to mental health challenges, keen to develop more brain-friendly approaches to managing uncertainty and change or seeking ways to nurture creativity and insight, supporting individuals in the cultivation of inner resource packages is time and money well spent.
“This was the best event I have attended in my 23 years with the CIPD. What Sally did was bring a genuineness, passion and knowledge which allowed us to experience mindfulness from a fresh perspective”
