Mindfulness has been shown to have a direct positive impact on business performance. Mindfulness can help increase productivity, reduce absenteeism and improve retention. By improving employee focus, ability to work under pressure and by enhancing clarity of decision making, employee well-being is improved and your business performance boosted.

The Samye Foundation Wales have worked with many local businesses as well as large organisations such as Google, Siemens, Morrisons and Lloyds Bank to bring the benefits of mindfulness to their businesses. Our team of mindfulness trainers are fully qualified and highly experienced.

You will learn what Mindfulness is, the history of mindfulness, the different applications of Mindfulness & where it is being taught. You will learn about why we get distracted and what are the main reasons we feel anxious and stressed. You will then learn how to apply Mindfulness techniques to help lessen your distraction thus reducing stress. This, with practice, will lead to you becoming more focussed and calm while in a busy environment.
