Enhancing Work Relationships Workshop

In the 21st Century, all of us are in the “people business”, requiring us to collaborate, problem solve, and resolve conflicts with a variety of managers, colleagues, staff and members. Managing up, down, and sideways is never easy.

This Workshop offers tips to connect with others in more meaningful and productive ways through mindfulness practices designed to create win-win solutions.

All classes are taught on-line via zoom, recordings are provided, but live participation is highly encouraged to build your mindful community.

Free Mindfulness & Meditation Class.

Our classes and workshops are unique! They include a mini-meditation, education, and group discussion taught by Craig Marshall a 35-year yoga monk. This is a great foundational class to guide you on your mindfulness journey.

What You'll Learn...

How to reduce conflicts and problems through deeper connection with team members on different levels.

How to become a 21st leader. This requires learning new skills to manage both your team and yourself, including your time, priorities, communication and follow through.

Why the “rule of thirds” is important – to build champions, motivate the open-minded, and include/exclude the functionaries.
