CFA Institute
Requirement
To introduce the many benefits of mindfulness, both at work and beyond, to the CFA Institute staff.
Response
We delivered 2 x 2.5 hour ‘Introduction to Mindfulness’ workshops at the CFA’s London offices. We supplemented this with 2 hours of 15 minute 1:1 sessions for people to explore the practicalities of establishing a mindfulness practise both formally and informally.
Results
There was great feedback after the first afternoon, with many of those attendees reporting back the following week that they had already noticed an enhanced awareness, a calmness, an increased focus and a strong inclination to continue to explore the development of an ongoing personal practice.
Feedback
As a strong believer in the importance of physical wellbeing, I found Louise’s session on mindfulness a fascinating insight into how important mental wellbeing is; especially against the challenges of technology and the pace of modern life. As an ex-banker myself, I found her personal experiences and journey particularly interesting and the session was a great mix of explanation and practical application.Kate Lander, Head, Education, EMEA
Louise’s session provided a gateway into an alternative way of experiencing the world and people around us in an approachable, accessible, and nonthreatening manner. In addition to providing balance to one’s own life and work, it lays the foundation for effective leadership that promotes conscious choices over reactive impulses and a purposeful work environment for effect teams.Steve Horan, Managing Director & Co-Lead, Education
