An Entirely New Category
Organizational Mindfulness is an entirely new category of modern practice. Just as MBSR was created as a therapeutic intervention for pain and stress management - and MBCT as a course for psychologists treating patients with cognitive behavioral therapy - Organizational Mindfulness is created intentionally for implementation within the modern business, education and government organization.
The Science & Lessons Learned
Organizational Mindfulness is designed to create more effective leaders, a healthier, happier and higher-performing workforce, and a safer, more inclusive, more productive workplace. The curriculum is rigorously secular, scientifically validated and performance-focused. It incorporates the most current research in neuroscience, biology and psychology, with management and organizational sciences, and lessons-learned by early-adopting corporate programs over the past decade.
Beyond Stress
to Performance
The benefits of mindfulness go beyond stress management, to produce remarkably positive outcomes in human wellbeing, cognitive performance and emotional intelligence. These outcomes can be applied to strengthen mental and emotional skills that improve personal and organizational performance.
Today’s therapeutic mindfulness is a powerful intervention for treating stress, and so we’ve incorporated science-based concepts from both MBSR and MBCT - but Organizational Mindfulness goes beyond, to the practical application of mindfulness for greater performance and productivity.

“Fear-based, top-down hierarchies inhibit creativity and innovation, whereas attuned, empathic, and spacious environments catalyze human capacity. The incorporation of mindfulness into a professional culture evolves a richer and more creative state, where one's “work” arises from a state of being rather than reactive doing.”
