B4 One: The Sceptic’s Guide to Creating a Mindful Workplace with Kate Reid of B3 Potential
Mindfulness is often touted as a panacea to Mental health issues in the workplace, but is it really the most appropriate method of boosting mental fitness?
Kate dissects the facts and the “spin” about mindfulness in the workplace, discusses where and how it’s being used and explores the questions being raised in the corporate world about its value.
Even if you hate the word “Mindfulness” ( and many do), you’ll still learn some tools and techniques you can introduce to your workplace without ever having to say OMMM.
Kate is a Leadership Development Specialist, Executive and Team Coach, and part of an advisory group to the Mindful Workplace Community.

The Season of New Beginnings in Your Leadership Journey
Spring is thought of as the season of new beginnings, bringing new life to plants, trees and flowers and although it may not officially begin until 20th March, now is a great time to think about new beginnings in your own professional journey. This change of season is a great time to reflect on the things that you have planned for the year, and how you are going to accomplish them.

‘Often girls’ clothes are pink, cute and impractical. They promote kindness, but not always confidence. And boys’ clothes are often blue, aggressive and adventure seeking. They promote confidence, but not always kindness. I wanted to bring these two characteristics together and allow all children, no matter what their gender, to celebrate both kindness and confidence.’ – Sally Dear, Founder of Ducky Zebra
