FEATURED WORKSHOP

The relentless pace of work places exceptional demands on managers today leaving us more stressed, less productive, and less engaged. This program provides essential skills and techniques to lead from a place of focus, decisiveness and authenticity. 

Mindful Leadership

MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION (MBSR)
 
This 8-week class is taught in a group and is modeled on the program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD and U MASS Medical School's Center for Mindfulness.  Studies show that mindfulness practice can result in:
  • Less anxiety and a greater sense of mental and physical ease
  • Enhanced concentration
  • Improved relationships
  • Greater resiliency at work and home
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction uses meditation, mindful movement, mind-body awareness, small group discussion, and personal reflection to teach how to integrate mindfulness into everyday life. Mary is a Certified MBSR Instructor having completed extensive professional training through the University of California Medical School Center for Mindfulness. Contact Mindfulness to Work to discuss hosting a class at your organization or to find out when the next course is being held in the Low Country of South Carolina.
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING 
 
Utilizing her 20 plus years of experience in employee learning, operations management, leadership and senior level organizational development, Mary offers consulting to organizations on how to improve employee culture, work efficiencies, management skills, team work and strategic planning.   The Mindfulness to Work  philosophy about consulting with organizations is to recognize that employe engagement and lasting process improvements in any organization begins by involving the people who work there.

6-WEEK MINDFULNESS IN THE WORKPLACE COUSE
 
Like any skill, Mindfulness takes hold best with regular practice and reinforcement. The course consists of six, ninety minute, weekly group sessions and is based on the transformative Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program.  The sessions are held in the workplace and can be scheduled at any time of day. Each session combines mindfulness practice, discussions around the practical application of mindfulness both at work and at home, and lots of take-home strategies for helping Mindfulness to take root and go beyond concepts. One-on-one coaching is available as follow-up to the course or for those who prefer to learn in a one-on-one situation versus a group.

Contact Mindfulness to Work to discuss scheduling a course.
 

"Our organization truly benefitted from the Mindfulness to Work workshop. We work in a crisis based organization and often struggle to find balance in the work place. Mary gave us tools to become more mindful in our work and every day lives. Thank you Mary for sharing your wisdom!  "
