Flow and Mindfulness at Work
Cultivate focus, stability and creativity within your teams to foster their satisfaction and achieve optimal performance
Flow is an optimal mental state in which a person is completely immersed in an activity, with a feeling of intense concentration, full engagement and satisfaction. This state is characterized by a loss of sense of time, a decrease in self-consciousness (ego) and a feeling of control over the task in hand.
Developed by psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, this concept is often associated with optimal performance in work, sport, arts and other demanding activities. Flow contributes positively to well-being, productivity and personal satisfaction.
This feeling of Flow sometimes happens to us by chance. But there are techniques that make it easier and easier to achieve this state at work or in everyday life.
With this in mind, Diamant Formations offers conferences, workshops and training courses on « Flow and Mindfulness at Work », enabling your employees to:
-
Increase attention, mental clarity and stability in their daily work life
-

-
