Insight Coaching

Mindfulness Based Insight Coaching can help you understand better the relationship between your thoughts and how they make you feel about yourself, about others and about life in general. Mindfulness can help you manage anxiety and depression, lack of confidence and stress.

“I was 5 months into my treatment for breast cancer and had started to move on from the initial devastation and powerlessness that followed my cancer diagnosis. I wanted to look beyond just coping day to day, toward exploring ways I could make healthy, sustainable changes that would give my life more peace, more meaning.  I also wanted some help with making sense of the feelings of fear, confusion and helplessness that arose from time to time.  I had a strong sense that meditation and the practice of mindfulness would help me to do this.  I wanted to find someone who was more experienced and knowledgeable than me in this area and who I could trust and respect.  Maya has been that person for me.   I have found our one-on-one coaching sessions very useful and meaningful.  Maya has gently and ably led me through a process enquiry that has helped me deepen my awareness of myself and the way I interact with the world around me.  I came to trust her and her approach very quickly.  I knew she held my interests and wellbeing at heart and I respected her intuition, wisdom and knowledge.  She struck a wonderful balance between helping me to work through my own questions while also providing insight and quidance to help me.” - Patricia Reade, CEO Auckland Council

Mindful@Work

Mindfulness training enhances interpersonal relationships, develops emotional intelligence, increases resilience, enhances innovation and creativity, and improves working memory and attention. We pour a lot of our energy into work, yet the workplace can be a source of great stress as well as satisfaction. Even a moment of mindfulness and awareness can make work a better experience.

I can deliver this content as a series of online webinars.

Creativity, innovation, productivity and connectivity live within the people themselves and can be accessed through mindfulness, deep listening and inner self-management.
— Peter Drucker
The most valuable thing I have taken away is noticing my levels of stress are reducing and I am more focused on my job.
I feel totally inspired and I feel my job is a lot less stressful. I have noticed a difference in my personal life as well, such as-
• setting goals
• listening more
• not getting caught up with the small stuff
• planning
• less work stress and trying to get more life balance
— Allan Gibson, procurement specialist, health Alliance

Mindful Leadership

models-1 copy 3.png

Mindful Leadership is less concerned with tools, skill sets, knowledge and past experience, and more about the ability to access, at will, an individual’s natural leadership qualities. It provides leaders with access to deep and honest self -awareness telling them whether they are on track and learning to observe impartially and with both internal and external wisdom. It bypasses mental ruts and other habitual, unexamined responses to challenges.

Mindful leaders are intuitive, creative, honest, wise, compassionate and deeply resonant with the constantly changing needs and demands of the workplace and surrounding environment.

Mindful leaders are able to navigate complexity with the flexibility of insight and leadership presence.
