Practical Mindfulness – Nexus Training Group

Q: What’s the science behind this?

Mindfulness has decades of research behind it. Studies show it improves focus, reduces stress, supports emotional regulation, and even enhances leadership and collaboration in the workplace. We share some of these in the program too.

Q: Is this just meditation?

No. While there are components of guided breathwork and body awareness, our program includes real-life application, group discussions,self awareness techniques, reflections, psychometrics (optional), and mindfulness-in-action strategies for the workplace.

Q: Can we add Emotional Intelligence or psychometric tools?

Yes. Depending on your organisational and training goals, we can pair mindfulness with our Identi3 psychometric profiling or emotional intelligence frameworks to build self-awareness, empathy, and team dynamics into the experience.

Q: What if my team is highly stressed or burnt out?

This program is ideal for high-stress teams. The tools we teach support both recovery and long-term resilience. We also offer follow-up coaching and drop-in sessions to sustain impact and provide the required support for the team that is going through high stress or rapid changes.

Q: Is this suitable for leadership teams too?

Yes. In fact, many leadership teams benefit the most. We can tailor this to include mindful leadership strategies, assertive communication with heart, intentional communication and how leaders can impart mindfulness in their teams.

Why This Program

In today’s fast-paced workplace, stress, distraction, and burnout are major barriers to productivity and wellbeing. People know what they should do—but when emotions run high, clarity disappears, communication breaks down, and mistakes happen.

Our Mindfulness at Work program helps teams develop the skills to respond—rather than react—under pressure. Through evidence-based mindfulness practices and emotional regulation tools, your team will build mental clarity, emotional resilience, and workplace presence.This program is designed for real-world workplace challenges, not just abstract mindfulness theory. Whether it’s about handling difficult conversations, managing mental load, or staying focused in a sea of distractions, we give your people tools that make a measurable difference.

At Nexus Training Group, we take pride in the success and satisfaction of our participants. Below are testimonials that showcase the effectiveness and value of our training courses.

"I participated in the Practical Mindfulness At Work program and absolutely LOVED IT! Usha is a wonderful person who, on the few occasions I've had the joy of working with her, has left me feeling enlightened and motivated. I wouldn't hesitate to jump at the opportunity to participate in one of Usha's workshops. Colleagues also came away raving about how wonderful their experience was."

Liz Carlin, Moodle, Spain
"I've had the pleasure of working with Usha Raman, founder of Nexus for over 4 years. She has delivered excellent training as part of our staff wellbeing program at Edith Cowan University in Perth. The weekly mindfulness sessions have helped so many people. Feedback I've had is that it was "life changing attending" and "i love the fix of wellbeing each week is the highlight of my week". Usha has also tailored sessions for different areas of the university to suit their needs for staff development and to improve engagement. The mindfulness facilitator training was also excellent and is building our internal capacity to run mindfulness sessions. As the program manager I've always been impressed by the added value we receive from Nexus. Usha goes above and beyond to help train our staff to improve wellbeing."

Fiona Peters, Edith Cowan University, HR Wellness Adviser Policy and Benefits
"Usha is an amazing life coach and meditation facilitator, she was so engaged and encouraging, and planned an exciting and fun day for everyone. I highly recommend the Nexus Training Group to anyone needing a mindful day just for themselves."

Susan Jurvovic, Business Owner, Western Australia
"Usha has supported me and my colleagues with mindful classes for the last years. Her work has had a significant effect on my life. I am beyond grateful for her amazing work and would recommend her to anyone who would like to learn how to better regulate themselves, balance (work and) life, and/or reduce stress."

FAQs

Is this program suitable for people new to mindfulness?

Yes—and it’s equally valuable for those with experience. This program is designed for all levels, offering practical, evidence-based techniques that are easy for beginners to grasp, while also helping seasoned practitioners deepen and apply their practice in real workplace scenarios—such as managing stress during meetings, navigating conflict, or staying focused amidst competing priorities. Everyone walks away with tools they can use immediately.We keep it relevant, inclusive, and workplace-focused.

What’s the science behind this?

Can this be delivered in shorter sessions or over time?

Yes. While we recommend a half-day to full-day experience for full immersion, we have clients opt for a 10- to 24 week series of 30- to 60-minute sessions. One popular format is our lunchtime sessions, where we meet for 30 minutes over Zoom during the lunch break. These sessions are easy to attend, low-pressure, and perfect for building consistency without disrupting the workday. We’re happy to adapt the schedule and delivery format to suit your team’s availability and energy. We had a client who ran the program for 4 years and even trained their own team to eventually run our programs.

We also offer training for leaders or appointed “mindful champions” in your organisation to be able to run our programs – so you don’t have to rely on us all the time, because we believe in empowerment.
