The Gut Feel-How intuition leads to success in business

Mindful Champion, Mindful Workplace with Dr. Joel Bennett and Lindsay Simone

Most approaches to mindfulness are geared toward the individual level and not the social or community level to which traditional mindfulness methods were targeted. It is not only about our own personal growth but the enlightenment of the community as a whole. We are never separate. And this insight is fundamental for any effective wellbeing effort (workplace or otherwise). This experiential webinar will feature a cursory overview of mindfulness (definition, measurement, practices) and participants will be invited to complete introspective surveys about their own mindfulness to help ground the social conversation for the webinar. We will then contemplate seven different ways in which wellness champions can show up in a mindful way within the social context (community or sangha) of their work setting. These are listed below. Participants will be invited to self-assess their capacity for each and given tools to continue developing each. · The Values Clarifier (Your Cause, Calling, or Legacy) · The Intentional Centerer (Breathe…Breathe…Breathe) · The Heedful Relater (Loving Kindness) · The Compassionate Nudger (Mindfully Encourage) · The Knower of Impact (Integrity, Foresight, and Social Contagion) · The Thriver (All Stress is Grist for the Mill) · The Garnerer of Trust (We are One) Learning Objectives 1) Define mindfulness and identify at least one measure and practice of mindfulness 2) Distinguish intra-personal mindfulness from inter-personal mindfulness 3) Identify seven different ways that wellness champion may embody mindfulness in their interactions with others About The Presenters Dr. Joel Bennett President Organizational Wellness & Learning Systems Website: www.organizationalwellness.com Joel Bennett, PhD, is President of Organizational Wellness & Learning Systems (OWLS), a consulting firm that specializes in evidence-based wellness and e-learning technologies to promote organizational health and employee well-being. Dr. Bennett first delivered stress management programming in 1985 and OWLS programs have since reached over 30,000 workers across the United States.

When you hear the word meditation, you probably think Yoga. That's because for a very long time, or at least over the past few decades, meditation has primarily been performed as a part of Yoga. But meditation, doesn't really have anything to do with Yoga. It is in fact an act in itself. Meditation is generally performed after doing Yoga asanas/postures, because yoga pushes you into a state of calm, which is perfect for meditation. Meditation is far too deep a concept to discuss over a single article, but I will try to explain the fundamental points of meditation and why it should be practiced.

Upgrade Your Mindfulness, Mental Health, Work & Productivity

Over recent years there has been an increase in interest from executives and human resource departments in mindfulness. Most mindfulness professionals attribute this rapid rise in interest to the fact that through MRI’s, brain scans, and rigorously controlled meditation studies we have better science available to us which clearly demonstrates the benefits of mindfulness. From our perspective, the rise in interest is also a response to the fact that we are completely overwhelmed by our limitless access to information and non-stop expectations of connectivity.

No matter your marketing goal, Google Adwords is the quickest and easiest way to grow your business. Period. But what happens after a user clicks on your ad and starts investigating your product? Prospective customers don't automatically become paying customers, and oftentimes it takes a bit of nurturing in order to get them to actually buy, which requires the marketing team passing these leads off to the sales team. That's where things get tricky, and in order to successfully bring a prospect down the sales funnel, there needs to be an orderly process and effective communication. Chad Larson and Elliot Reid will draw upon their experience at WordStream and show you how to implement this sales process in your own company.
