How mental resources, glucose and decision making are connected and what neuroscience tells us about developing healthy habits in the age of knowledge work.

The modern workplace with all its digital tools can place a high demand on one’s ability to manage incoming information: Email, chat, instant news, open space offices, mobile devices all add to information delivered to one’s brain. On top of that colleagues’, clients’ and one’s own expectations can add to the pressure on one’s information processing and decision making. The brain’s reality, however, is a limited resource that is available for working with information and decision making that can quickly become depleted.

Learning attention management has become an invaluable skill for mental and emotional health and collective intelligence in today’s working places.

The Facilitator: Klemens Höppner, CFA

I am working as a coach and facilitator for the Mindful Finance Institute and the mindfulness-based workplace trainings of awaris Gmbh helping individuals and teams initiate and move through change. I have worked internationally in money management for 20 years and holding a range of positions including executive positions. And I co-created the Conscious Business Ambassadors Program at CBI.

After a burnout experience in 2006 I have continued to participate in a number of trainings, among others:

  • Unity in Duality – Inner Science of Mind & Reality (Tarab Institute, Dehradun, Indien & Deutschland)
  • CSP® Program (FoxFire Institute, Berlin)
  • ReSource Training (Max-Planck-Institute for Cognitive & Social Neuroscience, Leipzig & Berlin)
  • Neurosomatics (Leadership Development Group, Heidelberg & Oakland, CA)
  • Yoga Teacher Training YA200+ (Spirit Yoga, Berlin)
  • Systemic Business Coaching (Dr. Schwertl & Partner, Frankfurt/Main)

One of the key ideas of my work is: “Inner Climate Change for Outer Transformation” acknowledging that our perception of reality is deeply inter-related to our inner climate and that it is possible to work with the inner climate consciously and intentionally. Moreover, our perception of reality and our actions arise inter-relatedly. Thus: “Inner Climate Change for Outer Transformation”.

Upcoming Events – Inner Climate Change for Outer Transformation

Currently I am offering two series of “Inner Climate Change for Outer Transformation” workshops at the St. Oberholz co-working spaces in Berlin:

Let’s Talk About Money is providing a space for participants to explore their relationships to and around money and combining both, my inner work trainings as well as my experience and training in financial services.

Conscious Business, Mindful Workplace is providing a space for bringing more consciousness into business settings and mindfulness to the workplace – be it as freelancers, teams or working individuals.

Both workshop series are offered around the idea of “Inner Climate Change for Outer Transformation” and will be developed around the actual demand of the participants (i.e. topics may change if participants request it and I can offer them).

Why Conscious Business, Mindful Workplace?

The typical grown-up spends considerable time at the workplace. And the modern workplace often requires a higher degree of collaboration across different value-systems and cultures, creativity, flexibility and re-training of job skills. Digital platforms are promising efficiency, easy access and automation. At the same time, they put a higher demand on one’s attention management and collaboration skills. So, why should one not use that time for personal development?

The Conscious Business, Mindful Workplace workshop series offers a space for exploring key topics and developing key competencies that can help individuals and teams alike. It focusses on the “How” and the “Why” of doing business. Participants can learn to engage mind, heart and body in order to reconnect to themselves, others and the present-moment experience.

Participants are invited to bring consciousness to their individual and teams believes and habits – with kindness and (self-)compassion. Combining modern (neuro-)science and ancient inner science frameworks with established mindfulness practices. Providing a space to start self-exploration and self-discovery. Inspiring conscious action to bring about habit change.

I already have a few topics in mind that I am planning to offer as workshops. And I am interested in receiving feedback on actual need so that I can see whether I can offer something to address that need.
