Introduction

In this episode of our Mindfulness in The Workplace podcast series, Michael Chaskalson talks to our CEO Sharon Hadley about the importance of gaining a real understanding of the culture of the organisation that you will be working in when teaching mindfulness in the workplace. Amongst many other fascinating insights, he also discusses the different approach required for delivering mindfulness training to ‘high achievers’ in a workplace setting. Not only is Michael is a pioneer in the application of mindfulness to leadership and other workplace contexts, but he is also founder and CEO of Mindfulness Works; a Professor of Practice adjunct at Hult Ashridge Executive Education; and an associate at the Møller Institute at Churchill College in the University of Cambridge.
