Interactive workshop – “Mindfulness in business” with the BBC Business Women Club

The first interactive BBC Business Women Club workshop is behind us! Wearisome trainings at which an instructor questions sleepy participants, asking for a hand raise in response to an asked question went down in history. Interactivity, based on voting by smartphones, allowed for honest answers and removed the hesitation, which is usually imposed by lack of anonymity.

On June 27, gentlemen from Motive Action: Mr. Krzysztof Kalata and Mr. Zdzisław Nieckarz guided more than 20 women across the world of mindfulness in business during an extremely charismatic and energetic workshop, which VGD had the pleasure of being a partner of, paying attention to the problem of handling stress and focusing on external stimuli which we usually ignore. Deepening the knowledge on that subject allows us to make conscious choices, which increases our efficiency, improves communication skills and reduces not only stress, but also negative effects of hastily taken decisions.

We would like to thank M.P. Polska for having us in their innovative office, all of the inspiring women for their active participation and also Illy, for serving delicious coffee. It is worth paying attention to beautiful female coffee cups referring to the character of the BBC Business Women Club, which Illy proposes. Graphics adorning the cups was designed by the world-famous artist Olimpia Zagnoli, whose works were exhibited, among others, at the Guggenheim Museum in New York or Fendi.

We believe that the knowledge we have gained that morning will bear fruit in the future, making possible to focus on our business more attentively and with full mindfulness. We encourage ladies who have not yet joined the BBC Business Women Club club to register on the following website:
