Mindful Workplace

Stress & the Workplace.

Unmanaged stress can undermine the success of every area of your organization. Strategic Interventions and Mindfulness in the Workplace programs acknowledge the growing complexities of today's workplace and provides simple and effective solutions to seemingly complicated problems. Jules Green, an award-winning educator, certified meditation and mindfulness instructor, and an ICF certified leadership coach, who is certified in Mental Health First Aid, brings a unique blend of instruction, mentoring and coaching to her programs designed to get results.

According to the American Institute for Stress, the cost of stress in the American workplace is estimated at almost $300 billion annually due to absenteeism, lower productivity, turnover, and rising health care costs. But that is quickly changing as more companies are incorporating meditation and mindfulness into their organizations.

A white paper produced by UNC Kenan-Flager Business School highlighted studies by the National Institute of Health UK, the University of Massachusetts, and the Mind/Body Medical Institute at Harvard University that continues to validate the benefits that mindfulness in the workplace can provide, including:

Build a Coaching Culture!

A growing number of organizations recognize the value in building a coaching culture that offers employees at all levels the opportunity to grow their skills, enhance their value and reach their professional goals. Through a research partnership with the Human Capital Institute (HCI), ICF is exploring the components of strong coaching cultures and how organizations use coaching to achieve strategic objectives. · Hiring a credentialed coach is essential. Credentials/accreditations are awarded to professional coaches who have met stringent education and experience requirements and have demonstrated a thorough understanding and practice of the coaching competencies that set the standard in the industry. Completing a certified coaching program signifies a coach’s commitment to integrity, an understanding and practice of coaching skills and a dedication to clients. Building a coaching culture in your organization begins with proper training.

Pat Wade. Business Owner. Huntington Beach, California.:
“When I was first introduced to Jules I was in a pretty dark place. My business had sort of imploded and I had a lot of personal things going on. I was always skeptical of a life coach, but she was recommended to me and I figured I had nothing to lose. I’ve noticed a lot of changes since working with Jules and everyone around me has noticed, too... It’s been huge for me... She helped me with a new relationship— where I ultimately met my wife! Also my business has positively, absolutely exploded, and I have no doubt that it’s a result of me changing myself internally and the benefits that it’s had.

Jules is absolutely amazing. She’s always supportive but also knows when to give you that kick in the ass that you need and how to hold you accountable. So it’s really a great combination of tough love, but also support when you need it, and she seems to have a great way of knowing when you need which at any particular time.”

Aaron Lewis. Business Owner. Fayetteville , Arkansas:
“If you’re struggling in life in anyway I highly recommend working with Jules. I can’t imagine a circumstance or predicament that she couldn’t help with. She has helped me to go from life as a struggle to feeling excited about my future.”

Steve Bonbright, Business Owner and General Manager, San Francisco, California:
“I originally took meditation classes from Jules, but I now have coaching sessions with her weekly. Although I have a host of business advisors, mentors, and colleagues that I can consult about HOW I run my company, it’s refreshing to have someone to discuss WHY I run my company, and how to get the most emotional rewards from what I do. Whether it’s a guided meditation or just asking simple questions that we typically don’t ask ourselves, Jules is invaluable to how I run my company and how I live my life.”

Kevin Henderson, Buisiness Owner, Denver, Colorado:
“I started working with Jules in October of 2017- both as a life coach and a meditation teacher. She has been instrumental in my development as a business leader and a person. Jules has a passion for helping others and she cares a lot about her clients. Meditation is becoming more mainstream and Jules teaches it in a way that makes it easy to grasp the concepts and to implement into my life. Coaching with her has opened possibilities for me that I never could have dreamed of before working with her. She has a magic about her that makes you see the path forward and it allows you to dream bigger, because things become attainable when you have someone like Jules to support you.”

Executive Coaching & Training:

Because you are a good leader, you recognize that true leadership is an act of service to those under your command. A good leader LEADS- they go first, forging the path and showing the way. Because you care about the people you serve, you've already recognized that with the right factors in place, your clients, your employees, your future customers will benefit from having engaged with you, and this builds trust, loyalty, and a team full of people you can be proud to have represent you and your company.

Great Leaders Know Self-Care is Essential for Great Leadership.
If you’ve ever thought of the term “Self-Care” as a luxury, like a day at the spa, I challenge you to consider what happens to you, your work, your relationships, your vitality, your patience… when you’ve become stressed and out of balance versus when you are well-rested and centered.

Company Retreat/Team Building
A customized program designed to align with the big picture goals you are looking to achieve and providing guided mindfulness practices to amplify the individual and collective team effort.

Monthly Mindfulness Retainer
Jules will meet with members of your team on a weekly basis for 1 hour to ensure consistency, accountability, and further deepening of mindfulness and meditation practices to benefit your workplace. Online digital support can be provided that will support your team in sustaining mindfulness on a daily basis.

Coaching/ Mindfulness Impact Reporting
Each program includes a customized survey which will be conducted at the beginning and completion. The goal is to measure expectations, effectiveness, areas of focus, and desired outcomes to inform future programming.

Measurement may be thought of in two distinct ways: external indicators of performance and internal indicators of success. Ideally, both are incorporated.

Examples of external measures include achievement of coaching goals established at the outset of the coaching relationship, increased income/revenue, obtaining a promotion, performance feedback that is obtained from a sample of the individual’s constituents (e.g., direct reports, colleagues, customers, boss, the manager him/herself), personal and/or business performance data (e.g., productivity, efficiency measures). The external measures selected should be things the individual is already measuring and has some ability to directly influence.

Examples of internal measures include self-scoring/self-validating assessments that can be administered initially and at regular intervals in the coaching process, changes in the individual’s self-awareness and awareness of others, shifts in thinking that create more effective actions, and shifts in one’s emotional state that inspire confidence.
