Mindfulness Based Resilience at Work

Brief Overview

Reduce burnout and stress and increase your focus and enjoyment at work

Mindfulness is defi ned by pioneer Jon Kabat-Zinn as “paying focused attention, on purpose, without judgment, to the experience of the present moment”.  Mindfulness Based Resilience at Work (MBRW) has been adapted from Kabat-Zinn’s internationally successful and well researched Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course.  MBRW helps start to develop techniques for focusing attention through meditation tools and responding “mindfully” to situations rather than reacting automatically.  Mindfulness is associated with emotional intelligence and evidence for its benefi ts in leadership is growing.
