What is mindfulness?
• Intentionally
• Paying attention
• Present moment
• Friendliness (non-judging)
• Curiosity
• Patience
• Acceptance
Mindfulness is not..
• Just about meditation
• About sitting still with eyes closed
• Airy-fairy new age
• Religious
• About making you soft
• About slowing you down for no
reason
• Serious
How I got into mindfulness

research
• Similar outcomes for people like us:

resilience

Myth of Multi-tasking
• You’re not multi-tasking,
you’re switching
• 40% reduction in
productivity
• Driving and texting
• Email notifications – IQ
impact
• On phone and checking
email?
• Stanford Research: “those who consider
themselves to be great multitaskers are
in fact the worst multitaskers. Those who
rated themselves as chronic multitaskers
made more mistakes, could remember
fewer items, and took longer to
complete a variety of focusing tasks
analogous to multitasking”
Tips to reduce multi-tasking
• Manage interruptions
• Tech break
• Complete one task before
starting the next one
• Do one thing at a time if
possible. Emails. Then
Report. Then phone calls.
• Show up when with others.
Switch off potential
distractions or move away
from them.
Three minute breathing space
exercise
Mindful listening exercise
• Look
• Listen
• Let go of judgments and refocus
• Mindful listening exercise in pairs
– Q: What are you passionate about?
– Q: What did you do on your last
holiday?
– Q: How did you end up working
here?
Mindful presentations
• Before the presentation
– Energise and calm
– Positive attitude
• During the presentation
– Manage your attention
– Look and listen
• After presentation
– Recharge
Mindful body scan exercise
Tips for working mindfully
• Do one thing at a
time, with full
attention
• Practice
gratitude when
you remember
• Improve mind
fitness by
practicing the 3
minute mindful
breathing space
regularly
Making use of your book
• Download the audio
and put it on your
phone
• Start by reading Ch 1-3
fully
• Then read bits that are
relevant to you
