Meditation in the workplace
Work smarter, not harder
All businesses and teams are striving to get the best out of their employees. However, stress and absenteeism is greatly effecting productivity and work satisfaction and is costing Australian businesses close to $15 billion per year. Countless scientific research papers prove that meditation has a positive impact on businesses and teams. It is no surprise that the most successful business in the world are investing in meditation. Vedic Meditation provides a systematic way of releasing stress and fatigue from the physiology and in the workplace this leads to:
Improved productivity, concentration, decision making and learning capacity
Increased creativity, problem solving and innovation
Less absenteeism, increase staff retention and create more efficient workers
Happier employees, positive morale and collaboration
I have a keen interest in and have previously studied teamwork, leadership and facilitation. Early in my professional career I was promoted to management positions and currently sit on the leadership team at What Ability. I am motivated to create real change for businesses and teams by teaching this natural and effortless technique that has had a positive impact on so many businesses and teams already.

What a blessing it was to have Dan as my very first group meditation teacher! He is warm, compassionate, knowledgeable and has a way of meeting you exactly where you are at on the meditation/life journey. I have felt nothing but support from Dan as a teacher, and have gained a lot of insight from the group meditation sessions. Thank you Dan!
