THE POTENTIAL PROJECT BOOK


ATTENTION FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS

“Balancing priorities and being stretched too thin are the biggest challenges for our leaders and teams today. The tools and techniques provided by Potential Project enables us to manage these challenges, and to be focused and attentive to the moment, without distraction”.Robert Stembridge, Managing Director

In an always-on, multitasking consultancy environment, attention is under siege. Attention to detail, attention to the client and attention on the task determines the success of consultants and staff. It is an attention economy. A global consulting firm partners with Potential Project to design programs to meet the specific needs of a high-paced consulting firm. The program included attention training with specific focus on managing priorities, emails and overall effectiveness. The programs are facilitated onsite and online in more than 15 countries.

MINDFUL LEADERSHIP PERFORMANCE

“I initiated the programs expecting we would become more focused and effective. That has happened and I am grateful. However, I experience another, much bigger change in myself and our teams; we are becoming better human beings.” Thomas Berg, former Sales Executive

In an increasingly complex industry, with growing global competition, focus and clarity of mind is becoming a clear competitive advantage. IF Insurance, a large European insurance company has partnered with Potential Project to bring mindful performance to their leaders and employees since 2009. The training programs are brough to all levels and divisions of the company with a strong focus on creativity, effectiveness and wellbeing. Researchers from Singapore Management University have studied the impact of the training and found significant results.

MINDFUL LAWYER PERFORMANCE

“The Corporate Based Mindfulness Training has had a profound effect on me. My team says that I have become more serene, and I notice how quickly I feel stressed if I don’t do my daily practice. I have noticed a marked difference in clarity of thought and feel much calmer.” Nicole Lacy, Special Counsel, HSF

“As a newly merged global law firm, HSF looks for ways to foster greater collaboration and connection across our offices so we can provide legal services of the highest value to our local and global clients. Focus, greater clarity of thinking and improved performance of our leaders, partners and lawyers is key in this endeavour. And mindfulness is fundamental to developing these attributes. We partner with the Potential Project as their evidenced-based program stands the test of being both practical and engaging for our audience of highly critical thinkers.” Murray Paterson, Head of Capability Development, Australia.
