Leading mindfulness workshops within a corporate setting is quite different from most other training programs.
Mindfulness—and its benefits—is not something you think about or analyze. You must experience it. The proof, so to speak, is in your personal experience.
You have to be aware as you experience what compassion or empathy feel like “in the moment”. What does it feel like when you're emotionally triggered or challenged?
To take this one step further, having such experiences requires you to maintain a mindfulness practice.
It’s ironic that sometimes business leaders are resistant to mindfulness programs because they don’t see the point in “stepping away” from work.
In reality, the opposite is true. Making a commitment to mindfulness equals a willingness to do the hard work to cultivate greater awareness.
