WHY MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness will enhance your personal and professional communication leading to more satisfying relationships, better decision making, confidence and clarity. Mindfulness allows you to access the source of all your abilities. You shift from operating automatically and compulsively to operating with conscious choice. The ability to create silence between sounds is the super power that allows you to access the TIMING…which gives you control over your speaking, listening, thinking, formulating, creating and breathing. Mindfulness will not change what is happening in the world outside but it will transform your ability to be more at ease, relaxed, articulate and confident as you face all your life situations – whether you are on stage, at work, or at home.
