What Our Clients Are Saying

I thoroughly enjoyed your sessions and would like to pursue mindfulness more. My biggest take-away was the ability to step back and refocus/reframe my mind to become calmer, more empathetic and patient and less reactive. I feel that the improved mental clarity and empathy gained through meditation will help improve my skills and effectiveness as a leader within the organization and make me a better person in general.

Jim S.SVP

I have found the course so valuable and have now incorporated time every day to reflect on the day and meditate. I am feeling the benefits of it and am finding myself taking time out to breathe when things start getting a bit stressful to calm myself down and let me approach things with a more rational mindset.

Georgie B.Head of Channel Marketing

How these sessions have impacted me personally and as a leader, I think it all comes back to balance. I can't say that I am 100% on my daily meditation practice but I absolutely notice a difference in the way I feel on the days I do. I’d put my hit % at about 70% of the time. On those days I do feel calmer and more present and have an increased ability to take the daily pressures with a more balanced approach.

Andrew A.DVP

I love the workshop you designed for us! Personally I’m a big believer of meditation and mindfulness. Appreciate the effort you made to educate us on this important aspect of living.

Chenmei W.Research Analyst

Interactive and insightful bias workshop! I learned that we can only respect and tolerate different opinions by relying on views based on a respectful facts and ethical foundation.
