WORKPLACE TRAINING & EXECUTIVE COACHING
Mitra designs and delivers Mindful Workplace Training Programs which lay the foundation for employees to learn the principles of mindfulness and apply them at work on an ongoing basis, while also developing a personal mindfulness practice.
These programs are designed around your company’s unique organizational wants & needs, and cover such areas as mindful communication, decision-making, problem-solving, email and technology, deadlines, time-management, stress-management, work-life balance, and much more.
Stand-alone executive programs focus on mindful leadership, purpose and values, big picture decision-making, clear communication and goals, skillful delegation and boundaries, stress management and a happy balance between work and home.
Both programs lead to more creativity and productivity, personal and organizational happiness and health, less absenteeism and an increasingly positive bottom line.
Mitra’s programs integrate decades of teaching Eastern mindfulness practices with decades of Western corporate training/coaching experience.

UCLA CLASSES
Mitra Manesh teaches "Take Charge of Your Attention, Take Charge of Your Life" at UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center
Our attention is so precious that advertising agencies, entertainment companies, and social media spend a great deal of money to try to gain it. The value for them is the amount of attention we are willing to give. We often may frivolously and unknowingly give it away. Our capacity to give attention is a precious and desirable asset that the world is fighting to attract. And yet the way we spend it has everything to do with the direction and quality of our lives.Join us for this 4-week practical hands-on class, and explore a simple, doable, and effective method of valuing and paying attention, using mindfulness tools. Together we will learn and practice conscious ways of mindful attention management, and take better charge of our lives.
When: Thursdays, Feb 6 - 27, 2020 (4-weeks)
Where: UCLA's Semel Institute
Fee: $200
Who: All curious and interested individuals, with or without mindfulness practice, are welcome to join.

Daylong Retreat: Befriend Time and Increase Your Focus & Productivity with Mitra Manesh
Complaining about time, lack of time, the fast pace of time… seems to be a norm. An acceptable norm both in our work and personal life. We have collectively and almost unanimously declared war on “Time”. “Killing time”, “deadline”, “beat the clock”, these are the all-too-revealing phrases we use when talking about time. Even when we want to get the most of our time we call it time ”management”. At best we want to manage and control our time, approaching it aggressively, as an adversity who’s always trying to trip us up.In this daylong retreat we will examine our existing relationship with time, and explore healthier ways to interact with it using various mindfulness practices and tools like focusing, visualization, and time-related exercises. Together we will learn how to use an alternative and aware state of structuring and working with time which can increase our productivity, focus, and enjoyment of time both at work and at home.
This retreat is suitable and open to all.
