1. Mindful individualsa) Notice the need to come to their (5) sensesb) Shift between Doing and Being
2. Mindful teams a) Become socially sensitive and aware of automatic stress responses
3. Mindful organisationsa) Uncover how context and culture shapes behaviour (especially during difficulty)

Being
• Problem solving• Goal achievement• Analytical & Planning• Worry & Rumination• Mental time travel
• “Anticipating Remembering”
• Noticing (what, who, how, when etc. is present)• No immediate goal• Embodied• Present
• “Experiencing”

Making Space for Discussing Emotions
“Emotion Display Rules” at Work
• Bottling vs Brooding
• Tendency to choose “Comfort” over “Courage”
• Emotions ≠ the (often important) signals below them

A quote from my work‘I’m disappointed in your team work today. There’s a way we should deal witheach other, even when under pressure. We should try to engage with people,even when the chips are down. When we’re under pressure, we focus on whatwe need, what we want – we think only of ourselves. But who are we fighting?Ginger! Who are we not fighting? Each other.’

Fight / Flight (F/F)
Freeze
FreezeMobilise Action
Social Engagement
Our automatic stress response system
Automatic Nervous System (ANS) stress responseBased on Stephen Porges (2011) The Polyvagal Theory
1. When stressed, we play our newest, best card first. If that doesn’t work (or has not worked previously for us), we try our older, second card. If that doesn’t
work, we play our oldest, last card. If that doesn’t work we are in extreme danger of (social) death.
2. Our ANS adapts: If Fight/Flight is successful or continuously rewarded (in many high-performance contexts), it becomes increasingly addictive to the brain. Our brain
then gets “stuck on high”; seeking more high-adrenaline activities, e.g. extreme leisure pursuits (Ironman anyone?). In this case, stress management needs to be approached carefully. Dramatic “gear changes” (e.g. meditation) may be rejected (as our ANS interprets them as a less adaptive stress management strategy, akin to Freeze).
3. Our most adaptive response to stress is social engagement (but requires interpersonal trust & respect).

Personal Reflection
Please consider (and share what you feel is appropriate)
• What can you notice about your automatic response to stress?
• How might this have evolved in your (organisational) life?
• Do you sometimes thrive on stress?
• How can you help others?

Team Mindfulness scale
Please consider an important team for you and score your agreement for each statement below, from 1=“not at all” to 5=“very much so”:
1. It is not difficult for the team to stay focused on what is happening in the present.
2. The team rarely rushes through activities without really being attentive to them.
3. Within the team, we don’t typically listen to each other with one ear while doing something else at the same time.
4. The team is rarely preoccupied with the future or the past.
5. The team generally pays full attention to the things at hand.
6. The team rarely criticizes members for having irrational or inappropriate thoughts or emotions.
7. None of the team’s thoughts or emotions are inappropriate.
8. The team is aware of thoughts and feelings without over-identifying with them.
9. This team is friendly to members when things go wrong.
10. The team experiences moments of peace and ease, even when things get hectic and stressful.
Then sum up all responses to create a TOTAL score
Then divide by 10 – this is your (tentative) Team Mindfulness score.
