What is mindfulness? “Mindfulness is the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgementally to things as they are” Williams, Teasdale, Segal & Kabat-Zinn (2007, p.47)

What is mindfulness? An essentially meditative practice (Kabat-Zinn, 1990) It’s NOT esoteric, New Age or spiritual A powerful means for enhancing wellbeing Strong evidence-base, over 30 years

A little experience of being mindful The breathing space….

Evidence-base Over 600 trials demonstrate effectiveness in a wide range of circumstances (MBSR, MBCT, MBCP…). A NICE recommended treatment for preventing recurrence of depression, the management of severe pain and chronic illness.

Mindfulness in the workplace Mindfulness programmes introduced by, for example: Apple; Google; GlaxoSmithKline;The Home Office; KPMG; transport for London Google an interesting case in point. 1 st programme in continuously since

Why workplace mindfulness programmes? More present workforce Improved wellbeing Improved productivity Improved creativity Improved self-regulation Less absenteeism Better communication & interpersonal relating (Baer, 2003; Chu, 2010; Shapiro & Schwartz, 2000)

How implemented? Needs established personal practice to be most effective (Kabat-Zinn, 1990, Williams et al, 2007) Usually offered as a structured 8 week programme – 8 x 2 hour sessions plus home practice Shorter introductions possible

What can we offer to help you? University-based workshops In house training ranging from half day introductions to full 8 week programmes Collaborative working and research Other possibilities?
