There is an increasing interest around how mindfulness can help within workplace wellbeing and leadership; even on our best days stress can prevent us from being fully focused. Chronic stress is widespread within society, perhaps most especially at work.

Mindfulness in the workplace is an investment in yourself, team and customers. The objective of these sessions is to help you and your workforce be more resilient, calmer, and know how to de-escalate feelings of stress, anxiety and overwhelm. The training provides mindfulness exercises, tools, and key takeaways that help individuals take better care of their mental wellbeing. 

Introductory sessions or half day workshops give participants the opportunity to practice mindfulness for themselves and in addition learn about what mindfulness is and isn’t and the why’s and how’s of practicing mindfulness. 

6 Week mindfulness program six 1.5hr weekly sessions offering a range of techniques to help with emotional resilience.

Over the years I have worked with a number of organizations promoting wellness and stress resilience in the work place, when stress levels were reduces  employees and leaders reported being more fully present on the job resulting in better decision making, task commitment, enjoyment at work and healthier relationships within the company. Numerous studies have shown that employee wellbeing is linked to greater productivity and a more proactive attitude to work. Mindfulness has also been shown to reduce associated work stresses  resulting in fewer stress related absences.

Here at Mindfulness Space we are passionate about mental wellbeing. Having personally worked within the school setting I am aware of the pressures of school life on teachers and pupils which is why I put together personalised sessions based on my knowledge. I regularly work with teachers and over my years have gotten a deep understanding into teachers lives within the class room setting. Teachers are devoted to making a positive difference in the lives of the pupils they teach but with so many demands put on them it can make the classroom feel a stressful place; One of the gifts of mindfulness training is that it helps teachers slip into a mindful presence helping them ripple their knowledge out into the classroom resulting in  a positive learning environment for the children but also a space for the teacher to savor positive moments in their job and to reconnect to the joy when learning clicks for a pupil.

Teachers sessions help:

• reduce stress, burnout and anxiety
• reduction in the sense of task and time pressure
• improved ability to manage difficult emotions 
• an increase in coping skills, motivation, planning and problem solving
• increase in self-compassion and self-care

Mindfulness can have a positive effect on teaching staff giving them transferable skills to approach a classroom with a sense of calm making learning a pleasure for everyone. 

Children’s Sessions

Having two children of my own I can see how mindfulness can help children understand and regulate emotions. I personally struggled emotionally and mentally throughout my school life and know that if I had been taught some of the tools and strategies I teach I would have been able to understand my mind and emotions more.

Children’s sessions are fun and interactive, whilst also offering them much needed space to just stop and relax. Children are taught specific mindfulness tools to help understand manage and validate difficult emotions they will also learn how to consciously activate the relaxation response in the body. A stressed or anxious nervous system that is stuck in fight, flight, freeze, fawn response will struggle to learn.

Children’s sessions help them:

• Feel calmer and more fulfilled
• Get on better with others
• Concentrate better
• Manage their stress, anxiety and emotions
• Learn to respond rather than react to difficult situations
• Understand how their thinking processes impacts on them emotionally and physically
