Are you living up to your potential?
The human brain has an incredible potential! With one hundred billion neurons, each connected by around 5000 synapses1, its processing power by far exceeds the most advanced computers.
So why are we not operating as intelligently and as logically as we might want? Because of unconstructive neurological habits, deeply rooted neurological chain reactions that make us think and act in ways that are not always constructive.
Mindfulness training is a conscious and active intervention in the neurological networks of our brain. The objective is to develop presence in the moment while increasing constructive thoughts and decrease unconstructive thoughts.
Or, to put it simply, mindfulness training is a conscious re-wiring of our brain that helps us to become more efficient, more productive and less stressed – while feeling better. The Corporate-Based Mindfulness Training program is the tailor-made solution for mindfulness training in the workplace.

Are you in charge of your focus?
The potential of the mind to stay focused on what we want is vast. The masters of mindfulness training can stay focused single-pointed on one task for hours on end – without exhaustion. Imagine what that ability would do to your performance!
Mindfulness training is the mental technology that will help you achieve this. And it is not as difficult and time-consuming as you may think.
After only 8 weeks of a daily 10 minute session of the CBMT program, employees at the largest Scandinavian insurance company reported:
- 88% reported a highly increased ability to stay focused on the task at hand
- 82% reported a highly increased ability to deal with distractions and negative thoughts
The Corporate-Based Mindfulness training program is tailored to greatly enhance your ability to focus and concentrate on the task of your choice - even in the midst of the busyness of work life.

Working harder or just working smarter?
Are you a great multitasker?
Multitasking has been an object of massive scientific research. One of the most ambitious research projects was carried out at Stanford University1. The researchers found that multitasking results in:
- Less efficiency
- Lower quality of the end product
- Lower quality of experience
- Less overview
- Less focus
- Drains energy
- Creates habits
Eyal Ophir, one of the researcher, says about multitaskers: “They couldn't help thinking about the task they weren't doing".
Or in the words of professor Anthony D. Wagner: "When they're in situations where there are multiple sources of information they're not able to filter out what's not relevant to their current goal. That failure to filter means they're slowed down by that irrelevant information."
You can watch a two-minute interview with the two researchers here.
The Corporate-Based Mindfulness Training program teaches how to sustain focus and work smart rather than just hard. Based on the latest research on the brain and combined with an ancient technology for training the mind, the CBMT program has shown to have a great impact on our professional performance and well-being, while reducing stress.
