Customized mindfulness training for corporate teams

By guiding employees at every level of your organization to develop awareness and presence of mind, they will learn to better navigate through demanding times and unfamiliar territory and, as a result, more effectively manage stress, lower anxiety and reduce burnout. Learn how mindfulness can lead you and your employees to listen more attentively, lead more perceptively, and work more effectively.

Mindfulness-based coaching for teams

Teams will be guided through a series of investigative practices to reveal the root causes of issues that inhibit effective collaboration, professional growth and job satisfaction. Members will focus on a specific task each week that will provoke a self investigation of their impact on the team’s success as well as where they may improve.

  • GRASP is a result-driven self leadership program grounded in the application of Mindful Inquiry. With GRASP, you are empowered to use the internal resources you already possess to manage stress, improve work and personal relationships and make wise choices that lead to an overall improved quality of life.

  • Team members will be able to recognize stress and apply practices that will reduce the unproductive use of mental and physical resources.

    The team will develop an honest and open collaboration and will learn to relate to each other better by managing themselves and their own stress reactions.

  • Using her proprietary G.R.A.S.P. method, Maria will customize a Mindfulness-Based coaching program for teams that she will deliver on-site or at a preferred location of your choice.

    The program may be delivered as a full day workshop or as a 6 week program; 6/90 minutes sessions meeting once per week.

    Team members are expected to participate in each group session and apply the practice homework to their specific area of need.

Testimonials

  • "I left feeling more at peace..."

    I would highly recommend this retreat to any professional as a means to discover how our individual life experiences shape how we receive and respond to workplace challenges. Using their personal and professional experiences, Mary Jo and Maria have skillfully designed a program that weaves together the principles of mindfulness in a relevant way for those new or familiar with the practice. The course provided tangible tools to bring awareness to what influences us and methods that can be used to overcome barriers to calm, collected, and high functioning work. I immediately left feeling more at peace in my busy personal and professional life- a feeling that is sustained a number of weeks out. I feel more present, recharged and available to tackle whatever comes my way!

  • "I walked away with things I could put into practice immediately."

    I really enjoyed the Business Leaders Mindfulness Workshop put on by Maria and Mary Jo. I was able to walk away with things I could put into practice immediately. The sharing of experiences and real life examples and challenges was extremely valuable. I would highly recommend this workshop for any business leader looking to grow both personally and professionally.

  • "A game changer."

    As a small business owner with corporate experience, the Business Leaders Mindfulness Workshop and Retreat was a game changer. I was exposed to the powerful combination of "self awareness and self compassion" and how that pairing can unlock untapped potential and increase effectiveness—oh how I wish I was equipped with these skills in my prior corporate life. The anecdotal delivery and applicable coursework was a relatable and effective manner of learning. Furthermore, the way in which Maria and Mary Jo commanded the room from a place of sincerity and vulnerability created an environment for open dialogue and necessary vulnerability. I am excited to see the fruits of this ongoing practice: increased productivity, confidence in decision making and an overall more positive working environment as a result of effective prioritization of thought and a grounding in reality (not the stories I tell myself).

  • "A nice balance of empathy, knowledge, and humor."

    Maria and MaryJo created a very welcome space. In many training sessions I've attended there can be a lot of blank space or awkward silence that needs to be filled. All the participants were eager to contribute and hearing their shared experiences was uplifting and inspiring. Maria and MaryJo also achieved a nice balance of empathy, knowledge, and humor. While we discussed very serious topics, they were quick to laugh and bring humor to the group when appropriate which made the workshop fun.

  • "You will learn practices that will influence all aspects of your life."

    The Business Leaders Mindfulness Workshop and Retreat is unique. I have attended many leadership trainings, but this one is different. Maria and MaryJo give you a lot to consider, as well as actionable insights on how to be more present and how you can open up more space in your life to be the person and leader you’d like to be. You will learn practices that will influence all aspects of your life. I highly recommend this workshop.
