Episode 7: How mindfulness transformed my team - with Amy Miller, Clarion Events

In 2019 after running a hugely stressful event and seeing the negative impact on her event team, Amy Miller booked her team on my signature 8-week mindfulness programme.   Amy is Group Portfolio Director of the Oil & Gas division at Clarion Events and she and her team run complex, global events. Her aim was both selfish - in wanting the team to be less stressed and perform at their best for the business and selfless - in caring about their well-being. In less than a year her event team has radically shifted the way they cope with the high-pressure of event life. Going through the transformational mindfulness programme, they finished calmer, more resilient and happier and the results were seen in their event success. So when Covid-19 hit and the event industry was turned upside down, I was keen to find out how they were coping and if any of the mindfulness tools they’d learnt were supporting them through this crazy time. We met (virtually!) to talk about why mindfulness had such a big impact on the team and their events and how it can change a business culture from the inside out. In this episode we will share: - The impact of stress in events and how mindfulness has changed the way this team works - Why mindfulness is the most effective tool to manage stress and anxiety - How mindfulness can impact staff sickness and loyalty to the business - How to get buy in to run well-being programmes from your business and why going to the top helps! - If your business leaders deal in facts (and so they should), then mindfulness offers tangible, measurable results - Why well-being initiatives will only work in a thriving culture of wellbeing and trust - How mindfulness is far from fluffy and not just about breathing!   Clarion is one of the world's leading events organisers, producing and delivering innovative and market-leading events since 1947.
