3 A MASTER CLASS IN MINDFULNESS Everyone has the capacity to lower stress and anxiety, improve their cognitive abilities and increase emotional intelligence. The calm awareness that flows from meditation relieves anxiety, digital distraction and overload, and is proven to result in greater happiness and well- being. At the same time, sharper awareness, clarity, concentration, motivation, and compassion (for yourself and others) are powerful levers for success in our personal relationships and professional careers. Neuroscience has proven that the brain changes, and what were once thought to be immutable traits, are in fact, trainable skills. Learn to channel the benefits of mindful meditation to achieve personal and business goals: THE RESULTS MAKE ALL THE EFFORT WORTHWHILE.

5 BETTER YOU, BETTER TEAM, BETTER ENTERPRISE Mindful meditation is a gym membership for the mind. Like exercise (but even more powerfully), a small investment during the day can dramatically relieve stress and anxiety, reduce exposure to chronic illness, improve relationships and increase feelings of overall happiness and well being. Better You Neuroscience has proven that the brain is trainable and that you can develop the mental and emotional strength to concentrate and execute more effectively in your personal life and professional career. As a result, professional sports teams, elite athletes, special forces and top business schools are all adopting mindful meditation as a tool for achieving excellence and extraordinary performance. In ten years, meditation will be a standard public health checkbox for brain fitness, alongside a healthy diet and exercise for the body. Today, it is a competitive advantage for those who practice and apply it in their personal and professional lives. MY EXPERIENCE WITH MEDITATION WAS DRAMATIC AND IMMEDIATE. IT CHANGED MY LIFE LITERALLY OVERNIGHT. Louis Gagnon, CEO of Ride Better Team Many of us are working harder, longer hours, across more projects, with little or no recognition in an environment of escalating demands, constant change, and toxic stress. As a leader, you ve almost certainly experienced the difficulties of effectively communicating, collaborating, resolving conflict and managing change in today s attention deficit, exhausted and overwhelmed workforce. Mindfulness offers hope, as a remarkably effective toolset for reducing workplace static and restoring rationality. The calm and emotional intelligence developed through mindful meditation can be a powerful new starting point for you and for the people you lead, manage and work alongside.

6 Better Enterprise Leading agile, smart creatives across cultural, geographic and generational boundaries is less about command and control, and more about clarity and wisdom. Top- down, industrial-era management techniques tend to create oppositional behaviors and disengaged workers, falling far short of the compassionate people-skills that elicit high performance from today s workforce. Trust, generated by the true authenticity, self- awareness and compassion of mindfulness, is the scarce resource and most valuable currency in the workplace today. Clearing toxicity and re- engaging workers begins with a change in the emotional maturity and behavior of their leaders. Mindful leaders, with the emotional intelligence to inspire, re -engage and motivate others, are rare and truly transformational. A MASTER CLASS IN MINDFULNESS Mindfulness is poised to enter the business mainstream, as two decades of research have confirmed its impact on health and wellness, mental performance and emotional fitness. At the same time, it promises to be a foundational construct for solving some of the largest, most intractable business problems that organizations are grappling with today. Mindful meditation reduces distraction, burnout, and workplace toxicity, while it builds stronger leaders, enables innovation, re-engages workers and scales productivity. It is a force multiplier for business results.
