Awake at Work™
Cultivating Sanity in the Workplace
90 minute, half day or full day sessions
Today’s business culture places a high premium on success: meeting our objectives, making the deal, closing the sale, meeting deadlines. Such demands can produce beneficial results. But the pace and speed can also keep us on edge, constantly chasing outcomes and at times neglecting the very work that needs our attention. In the Awake at Work Program, we will examine how the effort of “non-achievement” can bring an intelligent and vital balance to this relentless pace to succeed and in turn cultivate sanity, respect and well-being in the workplace. Working with the slogans and practices outlined in the Awake at Work: 35 Buddhist Principles for Discovering Clarity and Balance in the Midst of Work’s Chaos (Shambhala, 2004) we will examine:
- How mindfulness can help us contribute more skillfully at work
- How the effort of “being” versus constantly “achieving” impacts our experience at work
- The role “courage” plays in promoting innovation and sanity
- How we individually can inspire decency and wakefulness among our colleagues
Depending upon the needs of the organization, this program can be delivered in 90 minute, half day or full day sessions. .
