Creating a Mindful and Positive Workplace Culture

The growth and overall success of an organization is defined by its culture and leadership. A positive workplace culture enhances teamwork, collaboration and morale. As a result it boosts employee engagement, creates greater rapport with clients, and can lead to increased sales.


This presentation will address the importance of creating an environment where ego battles aren’t driving the company down and where individuals are willing to put aside their own self-interest for the sake of the greater good. It encourages an environment where individuals are willing to appreciate the contributions of their co-workers instead of feeling threatened by them. The research on mindfulness and its application for the workplace will also be presented.


As a result of this keynote, the audience will be able to:

Communicate with awareness, clarity and empathy
Build positive relationships with colleagues and clients for increased and repeat sales
Manage their emotions to handle conflicts
Develop a positive mindset towards individuals they don’t see eye-to-eye with
Express appreciation towards the work of their colleagues
Utilize mindfulness breathing and focusing techniques to lower stress and improve productivity

Developing Resilience During Change

Change breaks us out of our comfort zone and disrupts our routine making us feel uncomfortable. However, change is the biggest constant in our life. Most external changes are out of our control and can’t be avoided. What we can do is build resilience and begin to recognize that change is actually the most powerful thing that can happen to us to help us grow, mature and become stronger for the future challenges that are sure to come in our personal and professional life.


Dasa will help the audience understand practical ways in which our mindset can be shifted to see change as positive and not as a negative and help us accept the inevitability of change.
