Corporate Training Opportunities
“Elaine is a wonderful session leader. She was engaging and witty, insightful and encouraging. She was very considerate of our requests and tailored her presentation to our team. It was refreshing to see this type of customization and care put into the planning. Our team was able to relate to her teaching and took away learnings specific to their needs. Our partners strongly encourage our team members to take care of their mental well-being, and Elaine was able to provide a new perspective and techniques to do so.”

FULL DAY PROGRAM
Creating a Mindfulness Toolkit
In the six-hour Full Day Program, participants will learn basic mindfulness skills and some of the neuroscience behind them. Use of on-the-spot tools such as the Three-minute Breathing Space and the S.T.O.P. practice will be introduced. Ideal for everyone including those participants who are neuro-diverse or trauma-informed. Session will include exercises for use at work, in the car, or at home with the kids. Participants will also learn longer practices to promote sustainable and meaningful change.
THREE HOUR PROGRAM
Planting Mindful Seeds
This Half Day short course provides a great introduction to the principles behind stress management and is ideal for new learners who may not quite be ready for a longer program. As a lively, interactive workshop, this program teaches participants simple mindfulness practices that they can begin to use right away, as well as some background on the history behind mindfulness. Participants will come to understand how mindfulness might be easily introduced into the daily routine, and see the benefits of personal exploration and growth.
TEAM BUILDING
Mindful Communication Skills
This fun, hands-on program offers simple and concrete skills to improve the experience of going to work. Participants will focus on active listening, collaboration, valuing diversity and communicating with impact as a way to help strengthen employee engagement. They will also be introduced to mindful conflict resolution skills for creating a successful work environment.
PRACTICE SUPPORT
For Continued Growth and Development
Offer your employees ongoing support; such as Lunch and Learn opportunities that focus on a variety of subjects from Mindful Eating to Stress Management. These compact 50-minute sessions also provide ongoing peer support, answers to questions about practising mindfulness, and will continue to strengthen the new neural pathways developed through meditation by encouraging continued practice.
CUSTOM RECORDINGS
For Your Unique Needs
Let Elaine create custom recordings of specified lengths and on topics that are tailored to and available for your organization. All practices are professionally voiced and recorded, and topics will focus on the particular needs of each group, using the typical workday setting to create stress management practices that are directly connected to the specific type of workplace challenges that your employees may encounter on a daily basis.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Through Creativity in the Workplace
Do you have a brilliant idea but just can’t seem to get anything started? Springing from a highly successful and long-time program created by Elaine for the University of Toronto's School of Continuing Studies, this fully bespoke workshop (or series of workshops), offers a simple and fun way to help you accomplish your goals through a mindful approach to the creative process. Bring your big ideas or challenging projects and learn how to recognize the obstacles that keep you feeling paralysed.
Instead, you will learn to use everything including resistance, confusion and "making a mess", to help you create an attainable structure to get anything done. Workshops can range from a single, hour-long session to a practical Ten-Step Course depending upon the client's needs.
“These 10 steps are so practical, precise, and easy to ACT on. The fun and energetic way in which Elaine teaches, struck the perfect chord for where I was stuck. I will be recommending this workshop to anyone I know who wants to start and complete any project, of any sort!”
