Do you ever feel harried, restless, scattered or simply stressed out.  Is this another typical  day at the office?  Living in a 24/7 connected world places extra stress on daily living and daily working.

Increasingly techniques that have been previously externally driven are being brought into the workplace for leaders who support employee resilience, development and performance.  The demand to develop mindful leaders in business is at a tipping point.  Mindful leadership training globally has never been greater while retaining integrity, values and focus.  Those who develop a clear sense of purpose are better prepared to manage when the pressure mounts.

Mindful Leadership at Work

Mindful Leadership is at the cutting edge of new approaches to leadership development work combining latest in cognitive science, neuroscience and leadership development.

There is research emerging on the effects of multitasking on the brain showing what happens when the brain is in overload.  It gets less efficient and by default starts to solve at the same time, thus switching between tasks creates a sense of loss of focus,  prioritization and spirals leading to more stress ultimately losing ability to be focused.

Many organisational leaders around the globe find that under pressure they are more distracted and have information overload cluttering the mind, especially at the top where one needs to make clear, critical decisions.

Many leading corporations including Google, Aetna, Linkedin, Salesforce and Target are participating in mindfulness programs or creating mindful leadership programs for their organisation to build resilience and capability in their organisations.

Business leader development needed for the 21^st century is  turning to mindful leadership programs focusing on building resilience, mastering strong relationships, building on strengths and focusing with clarity on significant issues.  Qualities of the Mindful Leader have the ability to slow down the mind, reflect on what is happening and view setbacks as learning opportunities.  They develop the ability to remain calm mastering their emotions in difficult and stressful situations, becoming mindful and paying attention to what is happening in the moment.
