Mindfulness for Skeptics: A Corporate Wellbeing Workshop

Rethink mindfulness with this practical and engaging in-person corporate wellbeing workshop designed for real-world application. This fully facilitated, on-site experience helps participants build focus, reduce stress, and improve clarity using simple techniques that fit into even the busiest workdays. Created by The WorkWell Doctors for Avva Experience, this session combines neuroscience with actionable strategies to improve attention and support mental wellbeing.

The WorkWell Doctors are award-winning medical professionals specialising in workplace wellbeing, performance, and behaviour change, led by Dr Nirja Joshi and Dr Alex Lai. They bring extensive experience delivering science-backed training to global organisations.

Designed specifically for those who are short on time or skeptical about mindfulness, this workshop focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques rather than abstract theory. Participants will learn not just how to practise mindfulness, but why it works—drawing on research including Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and cognitive science around attention and stress.

Participants will explore:

• 🧠 Understanding Mindfulness – Learn what mindfulness is (and isn’t) from a scientific perspective
• 🎯 Attention & Focus – Understand how distractions impact performance and how to manage them
• ⏱️ The 60 Second Reset – Use a simple tool to regain focus instantly
• 🌬️ Breathing Techniques – Practise short, effective exercises to reduce stress
• 🛑 The STOP Method – Apply a quick reset technique during busy or high-pressure moments
• 📊 Mindfulness Action Plan – Create a simple, realistic plan to build mindfulness into your day

The 60-minute workshop includes guided exercises, real-time practice, and interactive discussion to help participants apply techniques immediately. Participants will leave with a structured, practical approach to improving focus and managing stress in their daily work.

This on-site corporate wellbeing workshop is ideal for teams who want practical tools to improve clarity, reduce overwhelm, and perform more effectively—without needing prior experience or belief in mindfulness.
