MISSION

Spoken World Productions seeks to support and nurture an awareness of working mindfully through facilitating the learning and application of mindfulness in the personal and professional lifestyles of our clients.

A healthy workplace culture is shown to be one that deeply connects the team members to the purpose of their work and to the community that they not only work alongside but lead and contribute to. This fosters a strong internal motivation that energizes work to be more effective, authentic and fulfilling. Work represents a positive impact in our lives and the phrase “work life balance” shifts from an elusive goal to a lived experience. This awareness and the practice of it creates a space in a culture of busyness and enables team members to quieten anxiety and improve their ability to contribute productively and positively. Mindfulness practice in a work environment has been shown to:

Expand capacity for critical thinking and problem solving by creating greater focus and mental capacity.
Enable healthy stress management with practical exercises and sustained practices that improve resilience.
Grow emotional intelligence by improving awareness and regulation of our own behavior and emotions, enabling more effective communication and improving relationships Increase focus on the present moment making high risk working environments safer Inspire creativity and ingenuity.
Improve team dynamics.
Motivate individuals and teams by connecting daily work to the authentic purpose of both individuals and the team.

Our workshops are facilitated by experienced mindfulness practitioners who have personally applied the principles in their own corporate work and personal lives. They understand the pressures and reality of corporate and retail work spaces and guide participants through relevant and practical conversations. All sessions are tailored for your team and so the best way of working out which course/workshop structure is best for you is to speak with us about your needs. With classes from 30 minutes to 4 weeks, short workshops to team retreats – we can create an experience that has the most impact for your business and your team.

We would like the opportunity to have a chat with you and see how we can support you. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

"In 1989, more than a decade before mindfulness became a buzzword in Western society, Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson famously introduced the idea to his team. He believed the practice would pull the players together, buffer them against tensions, and ultimately, win them championships. Many players — including NBA legend Michael Jordan — were sceptical, but when they went on to win six NBA titles, that uncertainty evaporated. When Jackson brought the same methods to the Los Angeles Lakers, they won five championships." - Harvard Business Review
