This Sector Connector workshop will be delivered by leading mindfulness practitioner Alan Ross, and will explore the relationship between mindfulness and productivity.
Alan is Managing Partner at ARK Associates, and has been coaching at director level for 28 years. He is an Honorary Fellow at Durham University Business School - working on leadership, mindfulness and boardroom skills across their MBA programmes.
Research shows that mindfulness is especially useful in the workplace to maximise productivity. It can help avoid burnout and promote:
- Overall wellbeing and stress management
- Increased focus leading to decreased distraction
- Active listening
- Concentration and the ability to think clearly
The session will explore mindfulness techniques that will equip you with strategies to help manage daily stress and achieve a productive mindset. You will learn short meditation practices which will be easy to take away and utilise any time.
