In today’s fast-paced, pressure-filled work environment, leaders, improvement professionals, and individual contributors must find new ways to operate more effectively. The quality of our attention and our ability to quickly and clearly grasp current conditions is a key to not only surviving, but thriving.
Through cultivating mindfulness, we begin to understand and utilize our mind’s potential. We begin operating with greater clarity and focus, which makes us more collaborative, more innovative, more emotionally intelligent, and more aware of our actions and their consequences. In addition, our quality of life improves, bringing better health as well as harmony in our relationships. Nearly every principle and practice in the lean management system is designed to cultivate greater clarity and focus, creating a powerful means to run an organization in a more mindful fashion. The result? Deeply fulfilled employees, loyal customers, happy investors, and leaders who can sleep at night. This engaging and interactive workshop includes business-relevant examples and techniques for integrating mindfulness into daily work and life. Attendees will learn:
- The neuroscience behind mindfulness
- Two proven practices for mastering your mind
- How to hit the real-time pause button and step back, to meet challenges with greater clarity and focus
- How organizations are using mindfulness as a competitive advantage
- A deeper application of lean management that integrates mindfulness into five key practices that enable your organization to achieve faster and deeper performance improvement.
