Education and Training Awards 2021

Leading Specialists in Mindfulness Coaching & Training -NorthWest England This year’s Education and Training Awards from Corporate Vision are showcasing some of the finest outlets that the world has to offer. Mindfulness is an area which many are familiar with, but few have exploited to the fullest. With the help of the team from Mindful Training Ltd, people across England have been able to embed cultural acceptance of norms which encourage and result in high performance based upon wellbeing. We take a closer look in the light of their success. Based in Merseyside, Mindful Training has become one of the biggest industry names when it comes to implementing mindfulness in a way that is practical within an everyday environment. The team’s work goes a long way to creating mentally healthy workplaces where individuals feel included, safe and listened to. Mindful Training offers courses across all sectors, from public and private through to third-part and education. The team’s courses cover mental health first aid, suicide prevention training, mindfulness training and coaching, resilience and wellbeing sessions for individuals, teams, and organisations. These courses have a direct impact on happiness within an organisation, which leads to important results such as increased productivity, retention and reduced absences. This ambition is one that is a revolution for the workplace, and reflects the innovative spirit at the core of Mindful Training. The team have always tried to use the latest technology to the best of their ability, and the pandemic has only encouraged this change. Once, the team would go into workplaces and teach their methods directly, but now they do so through virtual sessions. Instead of being a challenge, the team have embraced the opportunity they have been presented with. They have built in new features to their courses, offering mind mapping, smartphone polling and interactive whiteboards to name a few. This care and attention helps to engage customers while differentiating what is being offered from other Zoom or Teams training. The team had already planned for the world of virtual training, but this was quickly accelerated thanks to the pandemic. Almost every client was able to continue their course online without issue. The incredible results that the team have seen has proven conclusively that virtual training can be as effective as face- to-face training. For the team, the doors have been opened to brand new markets, with sessions held across several different countries from America to Singapore and of course the UK. During unprecedentedly difficult times, unlike many offerings, Mindful Training leverages the lived experience of its leadership in high level corporate roles. Combined with unique mental health and wellbeing personal experiences, this guides every part of design and delivery of a Mindful Training course. This allows the team to easily engage with almost everyone who takes the course, increasing rapport and empathy which enables powerful internal change within others. The future of Mindful Training is incredibly exciting with the team adding new training to their already impressive list. The team has already developed comprehensive suicide prevention training, as well as online therapy and counselling to complement various employee assistance programme services. The mission for the team in the long run is to provide affordable counselling for everyone globally 24/7. With a team of counsellors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists as well as alternative therapists, hypnotherapists, and complementary practitioners on hand, this is a more realistic hope than many might think. The heart of Mindful Training is one which embraces prevention rather than cure. By changing the way in which organisations work, empowering them to have powerful conversations about mental health and wellbeing, they can change the world itself to be a better place.
