Course Description
We live in a time where constant connectivity offers amazing opportunities to have access to wonderful moments from all over the world, almost limitless entertainment, and information on demand.
And yet we have never been more stressed, unbalanced or experiencing life on autopilot...
PRACTICAL MINDFULNESS FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS is a course in which game-changing research on neuroscience, focus and productivity has been curated in a practical and easy-to-understand way.
Combining this insightful modern research with the ancient discipline of Mindfulness gives you as a business owner, employee or entrepreneur the opportunity to take your business activities to new heights, but also to experience greater feelings of well-being, lower levels of stress and an improved sense of life satisfaction.
With a varied toolkit of practices and techniques that don’t focus primarily on meditation, this course is perfect for anyone who wants to experience everyday life with more self-awareness and presence.
In the course, you’ll explore the origins of and latest spins on Mindfulness, and begin to understand why Mindfulness is revolutionising the business world right now. Big corporations like Google, Goldman Sachs and Intel are increasingly focussing on mindfulness programs because it is the exact medicine that our fast-paced stressed-out lives need, and in search of greater productivity, success and employee satisfaction companies are realising this.
They are seeing the benefits of their mindfulness investment in bottom-line Return on Investment (ROI), and so can you!
You will learn a unique Mindful Problem-solving Technique that allows you to tap into your awesome intuitive problem-solving capabilities.
You will also be taught a Mindful Stretching Routine to do right at your desk, which was specially developed for this course by a Registered Physiotherapist, to enable you to effectively dispel tension building up in your muscles when you sit for prolonged periods of time.
· How to deal mindfully with email and Social Media,
· why Purposeful Procrastination is the key to creativity
· how to build Resiliency by practising mindful Mental Hygiene when confronted by a mistake or perceived negative event, and
· how to switch your brain from Exploitatory mode to Exploratory mode for more innovative bandwidth...
These are just some of the varied and interesting topics you will explore on this journey into Practical Mindfulness.
Every lesson comes with a different practice that will add another tool to your Mindfulness toolkit and you will learn how to put together all these tools to create new habits to balance your daily Mental and Emotional bank account in a mindful sense.
This course will guide you step-by-step in how to start adding more richly textured moments to your life and how to make the most of your natural rhythms, time-blocking that works and mindful scheduling for easy peak performance.
The main advantage of this course is that it is imminently practical and that it includes easy-to-do steps that will make a big difference to your focus, productivity, overall happiness and stress levels.
By the end of the course, you will:
know how to add rich textures to more of your moments,

have begun developing beneficial mindful habits that can last a lifetime.

I lead Digital Transformation & Architecture at ABB and I've been featured on CNBC Africa and won the Gartner CIO Of The Year in 2016. I founded and led the largest banking hackathon in South Africa which was published in 2019 as a case study by Harvard Business School.
I've taught over 100,000 students about technology, business, academics and self-development. In 2020 I completed my PhD at Wits University In Johannesburg. The study introduced a ground-breaking theory of Agile software development teams. My woodworking book was published in 2014 and has sold over 10,000 copies.

I really enjoyed the entire course, reference materials, and exercises. Melanie offers so much wisdom and insight that's helping me grow both personally and professionally. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
By Bonisiwe Maphumulo on 3/9/2022
The course actually relate to what I have been going through, I am so happy that now I know that mindfulness is essential to a human being. I will use my knowledge as practical for the rest of my life, to reduce stress. The knowledge is so helpful and will play huge part in my personal life. I always find myself not knowing what to start with everyday when I get to work, loads of emails. Ending up not knowing which ones to start with but I only prioritize start with the important emails, spend at least 2 hours with my emails then after I go on with my daily duties unless if I receive clientele enquires, everything stops.

Yes. Very interested in mindfulness. And linking it to business/entrepreneurship is, I think, the way forward in staying happy and healthy while working either for yourself or as an employee.

An excellent course exploring mindfulness and the benefits of incorporating the practice into our daily life to improve our relationships and productivity. Melanie explores the subject in depth and Peter backs up the training with specific examples from his own life and the corporate world. I will certainly be using some of these techniques this year.
