the remaining staff to provide the same or a better level
of service. A new way of thinking and working is needed.
Mindfulness is gaining popularity in Leadership
development and executive coaching. This may be due in part
to the large volume of research and neuroscience findings
that support its use.
Many leading forward thinking public & private
sector organisations such as Transport for London, Google,
Toyota & Starbucks are already using mindfulness to help them
meet the demands of the 21st century workplace. Mindfulness

What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a translation of a word that simply means awareness.
Its direct, intuitive knowing of what you are doing while
you are doing it. It’s a knowing what’s going on inside your
mind and body, and what’s going on in the outside world as
well. Most of the time our attention is not where we intended
it to be. Our attention is hijacked by our thoughts and emotions,
by our concerns, by our worries for the future, and our regrets
for the past. Mindful awareness is about learning to pay attention,
in the present moment, and without judgement. It’s like training
a muscle - training attention to be where you want it to be
