Testimonials from previous course participants:
“Being mindful means I can put my all into a certain task, rather than half thinking about all the other tasks that need doing. As a direct result of the program, I am less easily distracted, and because I am calmer and more focused, I tend to get projects completed faster than before.”
–Ellie Warner, Analyst Relations Manager, HP Enterprise Business
“It sounds a little cliché but the course has changed my life! The most significant impact has been newly found insightfulness into what is happening to me and the effect I have on others. I am more productive at work, get better sleep at night, and am able to brush off difficult situations with more ease.”
–Sarah Webster, Senior Technical Accountant, Standard Chartered Bank
“I have developed an awareness of my own state of focus, and realize that I have control over it. I can choose to be present in a conversation or focus on a piece of work rather than allowing it to happen to me. Now I exercise my choice, I notice that I am more present in meetings and less easily distracted.”
–Andrew Jones, Executive Coach, Career Counselor and Mentor
“We all strive to be better at what we do. However, if we do not have the fundamentals right, as in the right mind space, any new learning is lost. Mindfulness has enormous benefits in our lives in general including improved attention, memory, productivity, health, happiness and creativity. Mindfulness is an essential element of any corporate environment.”
–Ruth Harris, Senior Marketing Professional and Corporate Trainer
“The Potential Project’s CBMT program enabled us to not only understand the science behind mindfulness but more importantly how we can integrate it into our daily working life. My team and I have developed a regular mindfulness practice and have positively altered the way in which we conduct meetings and use email. We are learning to become more present, and with more presence comes greater engagement, meaning and productivity.”
–Loren I. Shuster, Country Director – Singapore & Emerging Markets, Google Asia Pacific
“In what is often our chaotic pace of life, the course has been a wonderful experience and essential opportunity to pull back from the fray and discuss with like-minded people the issues that most of us face on a daily basis. As we develop these new skills, it’s so incredibly satisfying to see them implemented and not only improve our daily productivity but to do it in a calm and relaxing way.”
–Dominic Kelly, Managing Director, Empire Financial Planning
