Why Mindful Leadership?

“Trust is in fact earned in the smallest of moments. It is earned not through heroic deeds, or even highly visible actions, but through paying attention, listening, and gestures of genuine care and connection.” – Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.

With so much change, uncertainty and shifting work patterns, it’s hard to know what ‘normal’ will ever look like again. Our precarious world impacts how everyone is feeling. Today’s leaders need to be skilled in managing their own emotions and caring for themselves so that they can ‘show up’ for the people they influence. That means being flexible, attentive and genuinely caring, fostering a sense of connection and openness across their organisation.

The research is very clear; Human beings need environments where they feel psychologically safe and have nurturing relationships to fully engage and do their best work. However, these are the very skills that many who occupy leadership positions lack and neglect in this ‘always on’, 24/7 working environment.

This training has created a shift in how the senior management team manage themselves, behave under pressure, influence and lead their teams. They are more open, collaborative, people focused and optimistic. Joanne is a gifted facilitator…she helped us navigate difficult topics that needed to be addressed in the most skilled and sensitive way. I am committed to maintaining Mindfulness as a core leadership strategy

Big thumbs up to the Mindful Leadership Workshop. Lots of insight and good reflection, really well worth doing…Joanne’s practices are extremely beneficial, the sessions helped our leadership team to take the time out by learning how to focus on living in the moment and by gaining a more positive outlook.

Joanne designed and delivered a short leadership workshop for myself and my team of middle managers. We found the session excellent. In particular, how developing a mindful approach to how we live our lives and respond to difficult situations can benefit both our own and organisation effectiveness. I would be happy to recommend Joannes' Mindfulness at Work programme.

Joanne was asked to present a mindful leadership class to our General Managers.
It was new to the majority of them so I was a little apprehensive about how it was going to pan out. My apprehension quickly turned to intrigue as Joanne captured the attention of the male dominated room and delivered an excellent class which left us with an appetite for self improvement. Thanks again Joanne.

It was a great experience for me to offer a Mindful Leadership Course to the customer care team in Kerry and to launch this with Joanne O’Malley, Mindfulness at Work who is a true professional. I truly believe in this training and reported outcomes clearly shows me why

Kerry

Wow! The leadership team and I just spent 36 hours at Joannie’s excellent leadership workshop. Joannie put her heart and soul into the session and we responded in the same way. We got so much from it - new insights, new habits to develop, obstacles to be avoided and most importantly some practical tools for sustaining energy, building resilience and being kind to ourselves. We’ve loads to think about. Really helped

Emotionally Intelligent Leaders Foster Wholehearted Engagement

Mindful Leadership Training promotes more attentiveness and calm…

“I am more present in meetings and conversations. I am more relaxed and more focused on the current task. It’s like I got in touch with myself ‘under the surface’. I realise that the practice really helps to calm my mind and settle me.”

After training, leaders are better listeners and able to respond positively…

“I got a lot of new insights, about how essential it is to step back to see clearly… also to empower others. I listen more and stay open to new ideas, engage more proactively and sow positive expectations in the team.”

Most importantly, leaders report feeling more humane, and empathetic…

“I see people as whole entities, rather than just roles and I’m more aware of what’s involved if you want to bring people along with you, less direction, more listening and leading. I understand why empathy matters and it impacts everyone.”
