THE DIGNIFIED SELF - Mindfulness in the technology age - Home

With all the notifications and messages on multiple channels many people find it hard to stay focussed. Is being digital and always-on – while still being focussed and careful with yourself- even  still possible? Yes! It is. And we are happy to help you to see how.

It is a time of trends and anti trends.

Constant change paired with an information overkill, we are experiencing today, needs stability and focus on the contrary. A healthy balance between virtual and real life and a conscious, mindful use of technology is needed.

With more than 15+ years of experience in digital consultancy for leading companies, we advise two key capabilities to master the digital transformation: Mindfulness and agility.

In our MINDFUL AGILITY training program and talks you will learn how to to strengthen your mindset through mindfulness and agility in times of constant change. This will ignite and show you ways of how to apply these key features in your daily life in order to support you to 

• gain more professional success
• higher productivity
• a better ability to stay and work more focussed 
• more team spirit 
• higher personal satisfaction and 
• more inner stability especially in stressful situations

The mindful angle of the training includes the following four modules with various subtopics that will be covered.

• MINDFUL LEADERSHIP
• SEVEN LAYERS TO PRACTICE MINDFULNESS
• MINDFUL TECHNOLOGY USAGE

Extract from the course: 

Learn about the qualities of mindfulness. We will cover the different values of mindfulness and discuss what a “mindful mindset” is and how this can be of value to you in daily work life. Mindful listening and meditation exercises will be introduced and the concept of mindfulness based self compassion. This will help you to become a more empathic leader and potentially increase the relationship among your team. 

Mindfulness is way more than just Yoga and Meditation. So the training will introduce the “7 layers of mindfulness” as discussed in the book “Mindfulness in digital times” (in German: Achtsamkeit in digitalen Zeiten) by Lilian Güntsche. We will analyze which layers of mindfulness are best suitable for you and how you can apply them.

Potentially also mindfulness apps might help you on your journey. Thus we will have a look at current mindful technology in the market and also discuss how to use technology and digital media mindfully.

Last but not least, you will receive a list of tips and tricks to apply mindfulness at work in order to increase your efficiency and productivity – and become happier!

2. AGILITY

The “agility” angle of the training includes the four modules below with various subtopics that will be covered.

• CHANGE MANAGEMENT
• AGILE MANIFESTO
• FRAMEWORK SCRUM
• REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT

Extract from the course: 

Learn about the agile manifesto and the agile values. What does is mean to say: “Adapting to change over following a plan ” and how can this be applied to your projects? What is Scrum and which routines, artifacts, roles, and technical set-up does it involve? What is change management and which emotional stages might we encounter? Also we will look at requirements management and exercise to write suitable user stories, epics and product visions. 

Last but not least this course bridges to the mindfulness course and explains how both forces – agility and mindfulness –  in combination are success drivers for personal as well as business related challenges.
