Establishing meditation in companies

In times of globalization and digital change, companies are under increasing pressure. This pressure comes from competitors, consumers and business partners alike. This makes it all the more important for managers to have the ability to take the pressure off. Mindfulness and meditation are very well suited to this. What at first glance sounds like Zen, silence or renunciation in a monastery actually offers managers tangible methods to prevent conflicts in the long term and improve communication within the team. This meditation seminar for managers helps participants to sort out their minds in order to constantly draw new strength that is available to the company.

Meditation seminar as training for mindful leadership

In the world of numbers and technology, there is usually too little focus on people. But it is precisely the interpersonal aspect that should be the focus of daily work. Because despite a high degree of automation, artificial intelligence and the internet, managers primarily work with people. And as a manager, you are responsible for ensuring that your employees act in the interests of the company while at the same time using their resources mindfully. In the long term, mindfulness through meditation in the company leads to happier employees, higher motivation, fewer conflicts and a more pleasant working atmosphere. In addition, a relaxed working environment can have a positive effect on health by reducing stress. A meditation seminar for managers therefore makes an important contribution to health management and lower sickness rates.
