Creating a Mindful and Positive Workplace Culture

The growth and overall success of an organization is defined by its culture and leadership. A positive workplace culture enhances teamwork, collaboration and morale. As a result it boosts employee engagement, efficiency and retention.

This presentation will address the importance of creating an environment where ego battles aren’t driving the company down and where individuals are willing to put aside their own self-interest for the sake of the greater good. It encourages an environment where individuals are willing to appreciate the contributions of their co-workers instead of feeling threatened by them. The research on mindfulness and its application for the workplace will also be presented.

As a result of this keynote, the audience will be able to:

– Communicate with awareness, clarity and compassion
– Manage their emotions to handle conflicts – Develop a positive mindset towards individuals they don’t see eye-to-eye with
– Express appreciation towards the work of their colleagues
– Utilize mindfulness breathing and focusing techniques to lower stress and improve productivity
The audience will learn the value and keys of communicating with awareness, clarity and compassion while taking into account the impact positive and negative communication can have on workplace relationships.

Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of the importance to appreciating their direct reports and colleagues to create an environment of trust and collaboration.

Intel
Pandit Dasa’s talk, “Mindfulness and resilience in the workplace”, at Intel Corporation was very enlightening and refreshing. The session was embedded into a 3-Day professional development conference organized by an employee resource group at the company called Intel India. Around 200 employees joined the call, and the audience was very well-engaged throughout the entirety of the session using the chat function though it was a virtual event.
Indeed
Pandit set exactly the right tone for a recent event my team and I created for leaders in the HR and talent attraction space. His keynote on mindful leadership was inspiring. Pandit emphasized, among other things, that "self-care isn't selfish," adding that it's important for leaders to "lead by example, not just in how you perform in the office but also in your own self-care and wellbeing." After his keynote, many of the attendees at this event told me how much they appreciated Pandit's keynote, quoting several things he said back to me. Pandit closed his keynote with a group meditation as well. Along with inspiring, Pandit is warm, accessible, and has a good sense of humor — all the qualities you might want from a keynote speaker!
Prudential
Pandit did a wonderful presentation for my company. Entitled "Close the Apps in Your Mind," Pandit shared tips on practicing mindfulness that help foster positive relationships in the workplace, help improve sleep and included current and relevant published research to help illustrate his points. By sharing his journey, Pandit showed how we could all learn from ourselves by simply taking some time to close extra apps in our mind.
