Honestly this system is highly effective, but it won’t work with people who are not interested in self growth. So for this to work with your staff, the members of your staff need to be aware there is
a problem and open to looking at themselves and the situation to make changes. Additionally the leader has to be open to this also.
There are two Business Workshops.
Your staff bring their personal lives to work, that is normal. Each may have demons that sometimes come out and cause havoc at your office. Not necessarily fighting, but forgotten messages, information not delivered, projects dragging. Our training helps them to stop this and assist you. The system doesn’t interfere with work - in fact they can do it while working without slowing down. It helps you, it helps them, it helps the bottom line. How much more Win Win Win can you get?
The Morning Talk is a conversation that last about an hour. The main thrust is how ones personal demons show up at work. This is not the in depth presentation of the Workshop. It simply focuses on the fact we have internal demons, how they got them, how they show up are work and cause problems, and how to work with them more effectively. The participants are offered a small book they can use to look at and release their demons, if they wish to have the book. I close with offering personal one on one sessions for anybody that is interested and give my contact information. If there are questions about this I discuss the questions, and then the session closes.
The Workshop is three hours. It starts like The Morning Talk but after the conversation and question answering session, we take a short break and then I first ask people to select an issue that is in the workbook and write about it, become really focused on it. Then I present the meditation and how to use it to address the issue each person has in mind. We do the meditation for about a half an hour, then gather together to see if anyone has anything they want to say or share. Once that is done we then work on a second walking meditation that is great for balancing ones energy and for absorbing energy. This is important because the first meditation tends to unsettle things, so the second one helps to return to balance. Then we sit for a few minutes to absorb what has happened. Finally there is a short discussion time if people want to Talk. Then I discuss how to use both mediation at work and at home so they can be integrated and useful all the time. Then we close.

How can meditation improve your business, your bottom line?
“This guy was paying his people almost a quarter of a million dollars every year to complain about what a jerk he was, and he was the source of the problem.”
I once worked in the office of a construction business. Every morning the owner would insult and degrade everyone in the office. These weren’t business suggestions, he was a drinker who enjoyed making people feel bad. He would then go to the work site and insult everyone there, while we talked at the office about what a jerk he was. Once he was done insulting the construction workers he would return to the office, leaving the construction workers to discuss what a jerk he was. Day after day, ruining the attitude of everyone.
As a business owner you have to look at the costs of this. I do not mean morale, or feelings, which are important, but hard dollars. There were four of us in the office and sixteen guys in the field spending two hours daily taking about what a jerk he was. Given the price of construction workers I estimated we averaged $20.00 per hour. That is 20 people averaging $20 per hour for two hours, or $800 a day. With a six day week that is $4,800 weekly, and in a year of 50 weeks that turns in $240,000 a year. This guy was paying his people almost a quarter of a million dollars every year to complain about what a jerk he was, and he was the source of the problem. Plus consider all the slow down, which leads to projects he bid on, think of all the lost income.
The worst part was eventually he committed suicide. A sad story, that this meditation could have altered.
