Positive Psychology & Emotional and Social Intelligence Based Mindfulness Training

Our mind is in constant shift between past and future, wanders into thoughts, rather than stick to the present moment. Such state of the mind prevents the person from a present moment experience. The contrary, the person feels lethargy, has difficulty in focusing on a particular moment for long time, does careless mistakes, easily forgets or has difficulty remembering details, feels stress and worry, and sometimes at the far extreme has anger, depression, or burnout. However, through various techniques and practices, human beings have the potential to train the mind to be present. These techniques primarily are:

Focus on the present moment.
Observe present moment experiences.
Follow momentary experiences in a nun-judgmental way.
Focus on present moment events with intention and purpose.

In today’s business world, employers seek attention and focus, innovation and creativity, fast and correct decision-making, resilience and emotional intelligence in employees. In a mind full state, most above skills get more difficult to accomplish. In a mindful state the mind gets clear and calm, where the person builds the capacity to perform the above desired skills and behavior with ease. In other words, while training the mind to be at present moment, individuals get to develop and foster their daily working and living skills.

Positive Occupational Awareness Workshop

Today, employers and clients expect employees to be engaged and passionate about their work, the way they do their work, and even the way they identify themselves with the work they do. From an occupational perspective, the greatest asset for outstanding performance and leadership, as well as personal fulfillment and flourishing, perhaps it is the awareness of our internal and environmental resources, and our ability to manage them in the desired, goal-directed way.

Within this perspective, the workshop services propose to bring into surface a positive occupational awareness, so as to create a “wholeness” perception in employees. “Employee Wholeness” is a broad multi-faceted construct, encompassing various concepts of state of being, such as integral self-perception; having positive feelings and balance; leading an engaged and a meaningful course of life; and being is a sense of fulfillment through achievements and good relationships at all life domains.
