Mindfulness Workshop
Mindfullness-Based Leading and Living Program
The reality of today’s business world is that ‘more’ and ‘faster results’ are expected from workplaces wishing to remain competitive.
Leaders need to be able to manage their own experiences of working under stress while at the same time, creating a work environment that facilitates creativity, team building and optimal productivity. Yet the COVID pandemic has taught many of us that the way we were working before isn’t sustainable. Leaders who employ mindfulness practices are better able to manage stress, are more conscious in their communications and able to respond to crisis with increased awareness and reduced reactivity. Mindfulness provides a solution to still be able to work at a high level, but to do it in a different way to reduce stress and build more peace into our lives.
After experiencing a brain injury in 2012, Carey-Ann's world felt like it was tumbling all around her. She prided herself in her ability to 'do' - to be a successful career woman as the owner of Potential Unlimited and a busy mom. By experiencing this injury and even more specifically through the brain rehabilitation process, she learned some life-changing tools around how to rewire her brain with Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction to gain greater focus, clarity and peace of mind. Mindfulness has been a game changer for Carey-Ann.
Carey-Ann began to share these tools with her clients and they too were experiencing major shifts in the way they began to live and lead. As such, Carey-Ann developed her own Mindfulness Based Program for Leaders that addresses the health and wellness issues, but also looks at Leading Mindfully for Success. She teaches the principles used to re-wire our brains using your body, breath and mind to reduce stress, gain focus and stay in the present moment in combination with her coaching principles and training that helps people break through barriers keeping them 'stuck' and held back by fears, weighted down by to-do lists as well as overwhelmed by anxiety about keeping up with what we feel others' expect of us.
Carey-Ann's story was featured in the business section of The Globe and Mail and in Forbes.
Stress is not just a personal issue, it is a major organizational issue. A study from Towers Watson reported that the number one reason top talent were leaving organizations across North America was due to stress. Learn how to increase your personal and workplace productivity as well as feel more energized at the end of the day!

What People Are Saying
“Carey-Ann conducted a webinar for my company a couple months into the pandemic in June 2020 (which seems like a lifetime ago). I found the insights she provided powerful and helpful, I took a while to write this recommendation because I wanted to demonstrate the impact this webinar on mindfulness has had over-time. The tools that Carey-Ann equipped our firm with are practices I try to regularly apply when I start to feel myself unravel. Her points are powerful, and her lived experience is powerful. I would highly recommend Carey-Ann to help support your pursuit of balance, either individually or as a company.”
