Overview

This 5 hour packed workshop is designed to "install" mindfulness - a quality practiced by leading firms like Google, McKinsey, General Mills and Aetna. Mindfulness is a well-researched domain, with thousands of years of tradition. The workshop is designed as a "wise intervention" to teach you how to ride a special kind of a bike - the bike of the mind. In this bike:

  • the front wheel tells you where to go (= openness)
  • the back wheel propels you (= focus)
  • the person who sits in the middle masters both (= control)

Objectives

In this workshop, Professor Yesha Sivan will explain, share, and then train you to be more effective in your cognitive abilities, in three states typical to the age of innovation:

  • managing day to day tasks
  • dealing with stress
  • harnessing new opportunities

Features

  • The program brings to participants two competing, and sometimes even conflicting, values: focus and openness; with the third component "control" to move at will from one value to the other;
  • The program connects participants to the latest management trends, so as to enable them to keep pace of the changes in the world;
  • The program creates values for the individual, both at work and at home, as well as for families, colleagues and the whole organization;
  • The program demystifies the concept of mindfulness. It is not religious. There will be no "sacrifice" or "candles" or such. We present a practical matter-of-fact approach.
  • This will be a packed but fun morning in which participants will reap values for short, medium and long-term, as the program leader will motivate them to practice every day the skills learned.

Who Should Attend
