Awake
at work business lectures
AAW associates are available to speak at business
meetings, sales conferences, professional conventions, and organizational
gatherings on the topic of applying mindfulness awareness meditation
to work. All AAW associates are trained teachers of mindfulness awareness
meditation and have taught and lectured on the topic in business and/or
contemplative settings. While mindfulness awareness meditation is
typically identified with spiritual traditions, AAW associates present
the discipline in accessible and lively business terms making the
practice of meditation directly applicable to the workplace. Distinctive
lectures can be shaped to fit the unique needs of an organization,
covering such topics as:
-
Can we find well
being amidst the stress and pressure of work?
-
Meditation and
sales - being genuinely available to the client.
-
Is it possible
to be honest without getting fired?
-
If ethics is so
important, then why is everybody breaking the rules?
-
Is there room
for "having a heart" at work?
-
Can friendships
survive conflicts on the job?
-
Can meditation
help make work an enjoyable experience?

challenge at work

best to apply insights arising our of meditation to our jobs
