Speaking Topics

Meditation for Higher Performance

Performance relies on one’s ability to utilize their skills and cognitive capacity to the best of their potential. This requires being able to focus on the task at hand. Meditation trains the brain to reduce mind-wandering and disciplines it to stay focused on the present. 

Building Mental Resilience with Mindfulness

Do your employees have to face continual challenges and setbacks? This talk is designed to help your top performers develop and deepen mental resilience with time-tested mindfulness principles.

Practicing Mindful Leadership

In today’s time of rapid change, uncertainty and hyperconnectivity, what leaders need most is the capacity to weed through the noise and focus on what matters most. It’s through this kind of focus that leaders are able to create the space to innovate, to be present enough to build deep relationships with their team members, and just as importantly, create healthy boundary so they are fulfilled both in their personal and professional life.

This approach to deliberately living and leading is called Mindful Leadership.

What Our Clients Are Saying

My biggest take-away was the ability to step back and refocus/reframe my mind to become calmer, more empathetic and patient and less reactive.

Jim S.SVP

How these sessions have impacted me personally and as a leader, I think it all comes back to balance. I can't say that I am 100% on my daily meditation practice but I absolutely notice a difference in the way I feel on the days I do. I’d put my hit % at about 70% of the time. On those days I do feel calmer and more present and have an increased ability to take the daily pressures with a more balanced approach.

Andrew A.DVP

I love the workshop you designed for us! Personally I’m a big believer of meditation and mindfulness. Appreciate the effort you made to educate us on this important aspect of living.

Chenmei W.Research Analyst

Interactive and insightful bias workshop! I learned that we can only respect and tolerate different opinions by relying on views based on a respectful facts and ethical foundation.

Moritz M.Chief Strategy Officer

Thank you for shedding light on this very delicate but important topic in an effective manner.

Silvan S.VP Product Marketing

I have found the course so valuable and have now incorporated time every day to reflect on the day and meditate. I am feeling the benefits of it and am finding myself taking time out to breathe when things start getting a bit stressful to calm myself down and let me approach things with a more rational mindset.
