The Missing Piece in Creating Better Workshop & Meeting Outcomes

This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates ''before psychology'' - that can exponentially increase the performance, resourcefulness and well-being for any individual or organisation.
In this episode Piers chats with Frans Rensen, a return guest to the show, and this time the topic is about how Quality of Mind can dramatically shift the quality of the output and outcomes from workshops and meetings. Frans is an experienced corporate coach, with a background in Agile methodology and now also specialising in Quality of Mind.
In this episode we discuss:
How for some people this can be their first experience of the power of Quality of Mind
What happens for people when they free themselves from their thinking limitations in a workshop
How come we are invisibly shackled by our mind, especially in the workplace, but it is normalised
There is a practical relevance and tangible power to the 'oneness' that can be felt
Uncovering the nuggets of gold that solve big ''problems''
How starting with Quality of Mind improves or removes the need for traditional facilitation structures and techniques

Explore With Us - A Real Time ’Direct Experience Self Inquiry’

This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind 'before psychology' that can exponentially increase the performance, resourcefulness and well-being for any individual or organisation.
 
Explore with us!
This a different type of episode to usual, as we conduct a real time 'direct experience self inquiry'. You can listen and explore along with us, as Katrijn and I chat with Emily, who bravely volunteered to be our live demonstration subject.
A direct experience self inquiry is a process whereby someone explores the nature of what something is - using ‘direct experience’ i.e. not using beliefs or learnt concepts, but instead exploring in a fresh, non-intellectual, almost 'sensing' way.
The benefit from this is foundational, as it underpins all our work in Quality of Mind and the wonderful impact that can have on someone's life and work.
Please - we really want your feedback on this episode! So please share your comments and questions, if you want to voice it rather than write please do so here https://sayhi.chat/QoM -
We'd love to hear from you!!
