Mindfulness & Resilience

Integrating mindfulness into organizations is a relatively new trend. But it is - just like resilience - much more than just a trend.

Both are key competencies in our digitalized and increasingly complex world. And they are a response to the challenges of our time, which is changing ever faster and challenges us with a multitude of stimuli.

What about mindfulness and resilience?

Mindfulness is the ability to focus our attention on the present moment with a quality of curious alertness, openness and acceptance.

Originating in materials science, resilience in psychology describes the human ability to cope well with setbacks and uncertainty.

So what's the point of all this?

The positive effects of mindfulness practice on the brain and our ability to manage ourselves have been scientifically proven.

Mindfulness helps us to become more present and to interrupt our automatic stimulus-response patterns more easily. Being more present enables empathic, situational behavior, clear focus, a flexible mind, and creative solutions. Mindfulness builds confidence in our own and shared resources, thus promoting resilience.

Mindfulness is more than meditation. It is also a mindset which is characterized by empathy, trust and appreciation. And it is one of the most effective answers to the challenges of our current time.

I am happy to support you in establishing mindfulness and resilience in your organization.

For that I use practice-oriented methods and exercises, including those from Search-Inside-Yourself (SIY), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindful Self Compassion (MSC) and Salzburg Mindfulness Model (SAM).
