WHETHER IT’S EMAILS, TEXTS OR MULTIPLE MEETINGS, IT’S A REAL CHALLENGE FOR EMPLOYEES TO REMAIN FOCUSED AND EFFICIENT ON THE TASKS AT HAND. OUR ORGANIZATION TRAINING PRACTICE GIVES EMPLOYERS THE ABILITY TO DEVELOP A MORE BALANCED, MORE PATIENT AND MORE PRESENT WORKFORCE.
YOUR PEOPLE MATTER.
SHARPEN THEIR FOCUS AND MAKE THEM MORE PRODUCTIVE
TRAINING YOUR BRAIN REQUIRES PRACTICE.
The single most important ingredient to a successful organization is also its most unpredictable: People. And the task of keeping your people focused and engaged in a world where information is a constant distraction has never been more difficult.
Mindfulness in the workplace is a practice that helps organizations create more focused, less stressed employees. Mindful employees get more done during the day. With clearer minds, they can be more creative. Greater emotional balance allows them to calmly manage unscheduled problems and crisis.
It’s no surprise that a number of well-known corporations have implemented mindfulness programs. Corporations like Apple, Google, Procter & Gamble and General Mills have all benefited from a more mindful culture.
Mindfulness in the workplace helps reduce employee turnover, saving organizations from recruiting and re-investing in new employees. It makes employees healthier, lowering overall healthcare costs. It gives organizations the ability to protect its best and brightest from burnout and mental fatigue.
Every day, organizations ask their people to use their minds, bodies and hearts to do extraordinary things. Mindfulness at work helps your organization sustain that work.
MINDFUL CLASSROOM
WHY MINDFULNESS IN THE CLASSROOM?
Students today are challenged in ways many of us would not have imagined twenty years ago. The inter-disciplinary approach to STEM education and project-based problem-solving curriculum is pushing students far out of their comfort zone. With these challenges, though, comes great pressure. The importance of caring for the both student’s and teachers’ well-being increasingly includes their mental and emotional health.
The Mindful Nest provides non-religious, non-spiritual mindfulness training to teachers and administrators. These skills not only help reduce their own stress, but also help support classroom activities. While research on the benefits to children and adolescents is just starting to emerge, a number of studies show that mindfulness practices can improve student physical and psychological well-being, help develop social skills, support academic performance, and reduce stress.
BRING MINDFULNESS TO HEALTH CARE
WHY MINDFULNESS WITHIN HOSPITALS?
Demand for good quality healthcare in this country increases every day. As a result, the healthcare profession is one the most stressed and over-worked industries. And though good-paying jobs may be plentiful, burnout among healthcare providers is one of the leading causes for the industry’s high rate of turnover.
The effects of burnout include emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a low sense of personal accomplishment. But burnout is not limited to the healthcare provider. It often leads to medical errors, which impact patient care and increase stress on the provider.
A mindfulness practice for hospitals helps decrease burnout and improves overall well-being among healthcare providers, from doctors to nurses to medical personnel. Our evidence-based approach to mindfulness helps hospitals increase situational awareness and stress management, and improves both performance and quality of life for healthcare providers.

WHY MINDFULNESS ON THE FIELD & IN THE ARENA?
Sports are organized chaos. It’s fierce competition at tremendous speed and pace. Emotions are high – for fans, for coaches, and for players, especially professionals who are under tremendous pressure to consistently perform at the highest level possible.
Quieting the mind is as essential an ingredient for success in sports as is strengthening the body. It’s no surprise, really, that athletes as successful as Tiger Woods and LeBron James have embraced mindfulness practice. Teams like the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bulls have integrated into their training regimens.
It’s why we consult with sports programs to develop and deliver mindfulness-training programs. Our programs help athletes learn how to focus their attention on the present, while reducing anxiety, stress and mental distraction. Mindfulness helps increase emotional intelligence, team collaboration and social cohesion, calm alertness, and physical and emotional resilience.
