Classes and Courses for Organizations

 

I am often asked to do classes or courses for organizations including businesses, non-profits and healthcare facilities. I can do a one-time introduction to mindfulness and/or self-compassion, or a multiweek course on those topics. (A favorite is the 6-week Mindful Self-Compassion course, with each session lasting an hour.) The benefits of these practices for teams and organizations have been well-researched and include things like stress reduction, decreased turnover and increased creativity and engagement.

 

I am happy to do this as a volunteer or for a small donation, especially for those in healthcare, education, and for non-profits and their clients. Let me know what your needs are, and I can create a custom program for your organization. You can reach me through the Contact page or email me directly at modestlymindful@gmail.com.

Feedback From Presentations

​

“I enjoyed the mindfulness presentation and took a great deal of good information from it. It helped me identify ways that I can help myself and hopefully my students deal with the stresses of the day to day.”

“Mindfulness.  Definitely do that again with the same person.”

This was - without a doubt - the most helpful program I have ever attended (and I have been here since 2007). Thank you so much for all this valuable information. Please use this facilitator again and consider having an ongoing support group so staff and faculty may continue to support their learning on this topic. Thank you.

Jon Walker is phenomenal. He's a patient and generous instructor. This is absolutely the most valuable training I've been able to participate in (I've worked here 16 yrs). I feel VERY fortunate that I had this opportunity. Not an exaggeration to say it's been life-changing in a positive way.

Keep offering these types of courses during these pandemic and almost post-pandemic time frames. Stress and anxiety is at an all time high for most people, and anything that can assist with coping is appreciated. These are terrific courses. The self-compassion course was amazing and so helpful. Thank you for offering this to us.

Jonathan was a fantastic facilitator and I hope that he continues to do this work and is invited back over and over. I look forward to continuing to build my mindfulness skills. The one-hour blocks are much more achievable for me than the 2 or 3 hour blocks.

This was a great program. Jon was an awesome leader, and I felt cared for/about, and he made it easier to be vulnerable with a group of people I didn't really know, in an online format.

The most valuable thing that I learned in this program is that I need to talk to myself like I would a good friend.

I am recommending it to others. Please keep offering this course!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the wonderful one-hour session with Dr. Walker. I very much appreciate it...I think our staff responded well to his gentle and informative presentation.

Thank you so much for sharing your time, talents and passion with other healthcare professionals. Your drive to help others cultivate self-compassion is inspiring and the staff have greatly benefited from your presentation.
