Our Corporate Mindfulness Training Objective
Our workplace mindfulness program focuses on three objectives:
​
RESILIENCE: Gaining a competitive edge by learning from and bouncing back from mistakes.
​
​EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: Cultivating mindfulness skills such as understanding ego, mental, and emotional reactions to foster compassionate workplaces.
​​
WELL-BEING: Promoting mental and emotional health essential for productive work environments.
​
Creating Authentic Change in Your Organization
At Authentic Life Counseling, we approach corporate mindfulness training from a therapeutic perspective—because lasting change requires more than surface-level stress management techniques. Drawing from evidence-based therapeutic practices, our program addresses the root patterns that create workplace suffering and builds genuine resilience from within.
​
Employee well-being isn't just a benefit of this work—it's the foundation. When individuals develop authentic self-awareness and emotional regulation skills, organizations naturally become healthier, more productive environments.
​
Our comprehensive program focuses on three interconnected areas:
​
RESILIENCE: Learning to meet workplace challenges without being overwhelmed or reactive—developing the inner stability that supports both individual employee well-being and team effectiveness.
​
​EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: Understanding how our emotional patterns impact ourselves and others, creating the foundation for genuine communication and collaboration while enhancing overall employee well-being.
​​
SUSTAINABLE WELL-BEING: Building practices that support mental and emotional health as an ongoing way of being, not just a temporary fix.

What People Say
​
This has been super helpful for me and I can actually see how quieting my mind and all the things I tell myself - recognized the impermance - can be freeing. I feel like these practices will help me in many areas of my life
​
You explained the concepts really well and in different ways (gave different examples) and you also asked a lot of though-provoking questions. I think it was helpful for the group to hear each others experiences and relationships with the material. I also really liked that we did a guided meditation together at the end of each meeting.
​
I just want to say thank you for your time, energy and care for us. I am so grateful for the opporuntity and enjoyed being part of this group.
