Mindfulness keynote

with practical exercises

In a time of ongoing challenges and crises, mindfulness is often cited as a way out of powerlessness and into self-efficacy.

But what is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a highly modern and at the same time millennia-old human ability. Being mindful means being present in the here and now.

It sounds simple – but it is often very difficult, as we spend most of our lives in a kind of autopilot in which our thoughts and actions run automatically and in patterns. If you practice mindfulness, you can increasingly become more aware of your personal patterns and address them if they are limiting.

The good thing is:
You can learn and practice mindfulness.

Describing mindfulness in words is a bit like trying to explain to someone what an apple tastes like. The best thing to do is to try and taste it yourself.

Would you like to “taste” mindfulness?
In a keynote, I will introduce mindfulness to your team or organization and put it in the context of your current challenges. Interesting facts are combined with practical exercises.
