Mindfulness has exploded in popularity in recent years and many people have explored its usefulness with apps. However, there is much that is not covered by the use of apps alone and this ancient source of insight into the mind/body connection offers other valuable uses. Mark is one of the most experienced teachers in the UK and has had his work utilised in several organisational settings with great results and feedback. Mark will be joined by Meg Campbell-Dowling for this session. Meg will be sharing her knowledge, drawing from her experience as an Organisational Psychologist, Mindfulness Consultant, and Lieutenant-Commander in the Royal Australian Navy.

The benefits of attending this session, particularly for those of you with people management responsibilities include:

• understanding the best mindfulness practice for you...cut through all the hype and learn the basics from an expert

• trying a simple technique to get you started or maybe to get you re-started

• listening to how mindfulness can improve the culture, trust and collaboration in your team/programme

• why the team you are in can be as important as the mindfulness technique you use

Mark is the UK’s leading practitioner of ‘social’ mindfulness, which combines mindfulness and group process to build a culture of wellbeing, resilience and sustainable performance in organisations. This approach builds on pioneering work developed in the early days of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre (OMC) which later led to providing training for 300 staff from CVS, the largest corporate provider of veterinary services, across the UK. The success of this programme empowered Mark to design the first social mindfulness programme, Mindfulness-Based Organisational Education, for NHS hospital staff. This new short programme was proven to reduce stress and improve psychological factors that build motivation, collaboration and improve organisational performance.

Meg has worked for over a decade developing, implementing and evaluating workplace mindfulness initiatives and resilience programs designed to enhance individual performance and improve workplace capability. 

Meg is particularly interested in the mind-heart-body connection, power of mindfulness in teams and conscious leadership.  She is accredited with the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre, Centre for Mindfulness in MBSR. 

Meg is the only person in the Southern Hemisphere to have completed the USA mindful-based MMFT training, delivered with the US Military. In 2017 Meg won the Australia Day Medallion for her groundbreaking work in the Navy Resilience Plan impacting 15,000 people. In 2019 she was invited to the Pentagon, DC following which she commenced the global military mindfulness conversation.
