The concept of mindfulness is usually associated with individual practice that the term “organizational mindfulness” can come across as strange. It is a real method, though, and it effectively helps companies improve performance, relationships and dynamics within their teams. In 2019, Amy Vetter had the pleasure of interviewing Peter Bostelmann, Chief Mindfulness Officer at SAP Global Mindfulness Practice. They discussed how corporations can integrate mindfulness practices into their workday to cultivate an improved culture. Peter also shared his journey on how SAP began to implement these technology practices into the workplace to create greater engagement, human connection and kindness among their employees.

It's tough to practice mindfulness in the workplace when you live in a modern world of technology and social media. In this episode, Tamara Levitt, the Head of Mindfulness at Calm, joins Amy Vetter. Tamara is responsible for the creative development of Calm's Mindfulness and meditation sessions. She likens a stressed and distracted mind to a globe filled with glitter. The more the globe twirls and whirls, the more the glitter spreads. But if you let it sit in one place, the glitter settles at the bottom. When you meditate, you settle down and allow your stressful, distracting thoughts to stay put at the bottom. The result? You think more clearly and become more mindful of your actions, boosting your productivity in the workplace. Where do you start with meditation? In this interview, she discusses why people have sleep issues and how meditation can help.
