Mindfulness in the business world is moving from the fringe to the mainstream and now features as part of many leadership and management programmes. With employees adjusting to home-based working and the many challenges that can bring, mindfulness tools are more important than ever, helping to meet current workplace and leadership challenges.

Why not sit down with a quiet cuppa and join our early Friday morning sessions to set you up for the weekend and help you learn tools to tackle the next working week.

We are pleased to partner with Alan Ross of ARK Associates to bring you 4 sessions offering participants a deeper understanding of:

• Mindfulness in the workplace
• Patterns of thinking
• Developing stress-reduction strategies
• How to improve problem solving and creativity

Alan is an executive coach who set up his company 25 years ago, after a corporate career in the FMCG industry. Alan incorporates yoga and mindfulness into his leadership development work, where his clients include senior leaders from major public and private sector organisations.

Delegates can attend all four, or any one individual session.

Session 1:

During this introductory session Alan will provide you with:

• An introduction to mindfulness in the workplace – what is it, what is it not?
• What are the potential benefits for leaders and staff?
• Which companies are doing it?
• How do we get started?

This will be followed by a short taster exercise to help ease you in to your mindfulness practice.

Please find a comfortable, quiet place to participate. This session will be delivered online via Zoom – after registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

This event is open to NEPIC Members & Supply Chain North East participants.
