7 Mindfulness Training Lessons

Do you desire a world... ... that you rule, instead of one that rules you? ... where you are powerful, instead of helpless? ... in which you have no adversaries, only allies? Even though some teams feel more like a battleground than a collaborative work environment, every person deserves to experience the magic that occurs when teammates do no harm and work as one. With Right-Minded Teamwork's 7 Mindfulness Training Lessons, it is possible to rise above the battleground and enter the classroom, a place where challenging circumstances are transformed into fantastic learning opportunities. What Is This Book About? Right-Minded Teamwork (RMT) is a business-oriented, psychological approach to team building where acceptance, forgiveness, and adjustment are teammate characteristics, and 100% customer satisfaction is the team's result. These three key teammate characteristics are achieved through mindfulness, the conscious ability to monitor our thoughts in the present. When we are mindful, we calmly acknowledge and accept our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as those of others, instead of mindlessly reacting. RMT's 7 Mindfulness Training Lessons teach you and your team how to shift your thinking and behavior so you easily accept, forgive, and adjust. With RMT's help, you will soon find yourselves working together to successfully achieve team goals. Overview These are the lessons: 1. I am not upset about this difficult situation for the reason I think. 2. I accept and own my part in this situation. 3. It's impossible that my thoughts about this situation are neutral. 4. I forgive others and myself. 5. I will transform the effects of this difficult team situation. 6. I adjust my thinking and behavior. 7. I see every difficult team situation as a learning opportunity. By practicing RMT's 7 Mindfulness Lessons, you become the ruler of your world. Instead of feeling tossed about by circumstances, you maintain your power of response. When conflict occurs, you avoid unnecessary Ego attacks and battles and instead seek moments of Reason. Your calm mindfulness guarantees you have no adversaries, only team allies. A Real-World Testimonial Hi there! I'm Dan Hogan, Right-Minded Teamwork author and co-creator of RMT. I'm thrilled you're considering RMT for your team. For over thirty-five years, I used tools like the 7 Mindfulness Lessons with hundreds of teams, and every time, they proved themselves effective. While working on this book series, I received a note from an RMT student who had actively applied the 7 Lessons to transform a challenging situation. She shared: "Recently, I was reflecting on a challenging interpersonal situation, and the first of the 7 Mindfulness Lessons popped into my mind. 'I am not upset about this difficult team situation for the reason I think,' I told myself. Immediately, I saw there was much more to the situation than the surface-level issue. I figured I might as well apply the next few Lessons, too, and as I did, I felt myself relaxing. In just a few moments, I was able to see the situation completely differently. "My inner resistance dissipated, and now the issue has, too. I had no doubt your methodology was effective, but I didn't realize how immediately transformative it could be. Thank you and RMT for this breakthrough!" No matter what teamwork challenges you're facing, Right-Minded Teamwork truly has the power to turn your team around. I hope you'll give it a try today.
