Long synopsis (optional):
This talk is an introduction to Mindfulness Meditation that opens with a practical guided meditation session. I will be going through the skills I have learnt from Mindfulness Meditation: how I have applied them to my work, keeping me aligned with my personal goals and sprint goals, and how you might be able to use them too. We will be focusing on: Distraction reduction – what you can do to reduce the distractions affecting your goals, including environmental distractions and those on your screens. Managing distractions – once you are aware of distraction, seeing how you can manage them if you can’t reduce them and how stand-ups can help with this. State of flow – when meditating we can reach a state of flow, I will explain what this is and how we can achieve this state. Then we will reflect on how you can use these skills when working solo, pairing and when mobbing/working in a group. Plus, I will explain how you can use these skills at home in your personal life.
