Course Overview:
IOM Mindful Workplace Facilitator Certification (IOM-MWF) provides the most current science, an understanding of how mindfulness is applied to transform behavior and performance, and the practical skills to create an effective program for our team or organization.
You don’t have to be a traditional meditation teacher to share science-based knowledge, lead mindfulness exercises, and facilitate a great experience. But to be truly effective, you need to bring the most current research, a practical level of personal experience, and be equipped with the right materials and tools.
The IOM-MWF Certification Course Provides:
A body of new knowledge for mindfulness and meditation teachers who are expanding their practice into business, education, healthcare, and government organizations.
A rigorously science-based framework for mental health and wellness professionals, life counselors, and business coaches, who are helping clients develop mental and emotional skills for the workplace and beyond.
An opportunity for experienced individuals who are passionate about mindfulness, to bring it into the workplace in an effective and sustainable way.
A simple, low-cost way for organizations to integrate mindfulness into the company and culture, with facilitators trained to create well-organized and scalable in-house programs.
