Managing Stress withMindfulness

WORKSHOP 1 | LEADERSHIP AND WELLBEING

23 APRIL 2019 | 9AM - 1PM Exhibition Room, High Impact Research Building, UM

The ChallengeIn the era of ever-changing competitive landscape, workers today are operating in highly stressful situations. Our workplace is churning out burnt-out employees, who report little bandwidth for big picture thinking, innovation, and good understanding among each other. According to the Gallup survey in 2013, 70% of employees are disengaged, leading to lower level of productivity, innovation, and wellbeing, while only 8% of the respondents strongly agree that they experience overall wellbeing at work. This has led to a vicious cycle of stress and suboptimal performance. The ability to manage our minds, our emotions, and others is essential Emotional Intelligence (EQ) skills which have been greatly undermined and rarely developed among workers. We believe developing EQ competencies is an effective way and a possible solution for handling these challenges. The Case of MindfulnessMindfulness means paying attention to what’s happening in the present moment in the mind, body and external environment, with an attitude of curiosity and kindness. An ancient wisdom practice supported by modern neuroscience, Mindfulness has been considered as a new ‘Superpower’ to equip everyone to adapt to high degree of complexity in today work-place. Elite business schools such as Harvard, Stanford, and MIT have turned to Mindfulness to achieve excellence for developing the next generation of leaders. Industry giants including Google, SAP and Intel are among the many companies that offer structured programs of Mindfulness to promote work performance and wellbeing. Google has its own in-house Mind-fulness Based Emotional Intelligence training program namely, Search Inside Yourself (SIY), that has been highly appraised by its employees.
