If you’re looking to improve your wellbeing and that of your employees through no-BS mindfulness – you’ll love today’s podcast guest.

My guest on this episode of the “How to Spark Success” podcast is the excellent Steve Ware – a University of Oxford trained Mindfulness in the Workplace specialist.

Although he never set out to learn meditation, yet alone become a mindfulness teacher, a period of intense stress at IBM 10 years ago lead him to somewhat reluctantly try it.

The personal transformation was so great that his colleagues soon noticed and asked him if he could teach them. This led to Steve studying with some of the greatest teachers in the world and facilitating the first (and only) HR-approved mindfulness programme in the whole of IBM. Within months he had a waitlist of 500+ people globally, with graduates of his 8-week courses reporting:

✅ Lower stress levels

✅ Feeling happier and more productive

✅ Sleeping better

✅ Feeling less overwhelmed

✅ …and even returning to work early from long-term sick leave

Since leaving IBM in 2020 he has continued to bring the same transformational mindfulness courses to businesses - big and small - all across the world.

In this episode, we chat about:

Why it’s ok to feel sceptical about meditation
The key to finding pockets of peace within your day
Techniques to quiet your mind
Why your definition of success should constantly evolve

And so much more!
