Mindful Matters

Greetings Friends and Colleagues!

Following a stubborn winter for many parts of North America, hopefully a glimmer of Spring and all it has to offer is shining through with the arrival of longer days! We are inspired by the promise of Spring. As you move into the new season we hope you’ll be inspired to join us for some truly impactful events.

Introducing Mindful Matters LIVE! Quarterly we’ll be hosting informal on-line conversations to explore current workplace culture topics. Right now, this Forbes article on the 7 Reasons Employees Don’t Trust Their Leaders has our attention, ranking a lack of courage as #1! How might you find more courage in your day-to-day work? What other learnings can we take away from this article? We still have space for next week’s session where we’ll explore the topic in an open discussion. April 2, 10 -11 am PDT! Register to join the conversation here! It’s free!

Interested in the concepts of mindfulness and crossover to the business world yet don’t know where to start? Take the Easy Path! We invite you to explore how the ‘noise’ in your work and life impacts overall well being and performance.Through connection with nature, we’ll explore new ways of being in service of yourself and others resulting in more fulfillment and success.

A brief yet powerful take on mindfulness:

“Between stimulus and response there is a space.

In that space is our power to choose our response.

In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

~ Viktor E. Frankl

What is

Co-Active?

Being in co-activity is a cornerstone of the Pure Ambition way. Coined by The Coaches Training Institute, their definition of this powerful philosophy goes like this:

The “Co” in Co-Active suggests relationship, connection, intimacy and collaboration. Thus, the “Co” in us is curious, listens deeply, hears nuance, holds space for others, intuits and nurtures.

The “Active” in Co-Active stands for power, direction, action and manifestation. So, the “Active” in us is courageous, has clarity and conviction, takes charge and achieves goals.

The balance of these two imperatives are what bring fulfillment forward as our actions are aligned with our values. It’s the ‘being with’ and ‘doing of’ life residing in harmony. Being mindful creates the space.

Experience co-active first hand by working with a Pure Ambition coach! Get in touch with us to experience co-activity.
