Transform the Culture of Your Workplace through
                Mindfulness Based Relationship Development

Healthy and vibrant relationships are at the core of individual and organizational well-being. Developing, nurturing and harnessing this energy are how projects are successfully accomplished. Unhealthy, toxic relationships disrupt business, decrease productivity and negatively impact organizational well-being. In fact, studies have demonstrated that workplace social climate is more important than the physical work environment.

Consider these statistics on the realities of most workplaces

• Executives spend 13% or 7 weeks a year dealing with conflict resolution
• 53% of employees lose work time worrying about toxic interactions
• Poor or unhealthy working relationships is the #1 reason for turnover
• 46% of employees have contemplated changing jobs due to toxic relationships

... all of which are extremely costly to organizations and employees as well.

Alternatively, positively influencing how individuals think, act and relate to each other ultimately leads to increased trust, knowledge sharing and innovation. As a result, productivity increases, incivility is reduced, and employee resiliency, well-being and commitment increase.

So how do people learn civility and to build healthy and vibrant relationships?

The same way they learn to ride a bike or play piano... through practice. Neuroscience has proven that as new experiences are learned, the physical structure of the brain adapts and changes (plasticity). Over time with practice, these positive social qualities become good habits, replacing less desirable ones. Eventually they become second nature and transfer into the workplace where they are embedded in the culture.

Healthy and vibrant relationships become contagious, creating space and openness which allows for greater communication, teamwork, information sharing, knowledge flow and productivity.
