Participant testimonials
I met Andrew in Singapore and have attended a few of his mindfulness sessions. I know this is a bit New Wave-y and many companies are probably in cost cutting mode, but I can attest to the value of having mindfulness be part of one’s daily health and wellness regimen, just like exercise and diet. In addition to the health benefits, I would think it would also be viewed very favorably by younger talent who are into health, wellness and self actualization. Could even reduce turnover…

"At The Wharton School MBA Program, University of Pennsylvania, I learned many interesting things, but the one that I value the most was something I never imagined I would discover at one of the world's most respected business schools - recognised in particular for its hard-core financial prowess. That thing was meditation!"
~Matthew Chapple, former general manager of Mead Johnson. |
"With self-awareness as its main theme, the event sought to develop new methods for participants to hone their inward focus in order to become more effective leaders. Meditation was the primary practical skill emphasised to develop self-awareness, the benefits of which - the ability to observe one's behaviour, recognise the impact of one's actions on others and reduce stress - strengthens a leader's abilities to motivate others and work with teams." |
"This showed me that I don’t need to switch from how I am normally, but I can learn how to focus, clear my mind from whatever else is impacting my life from outside work. Maybe there are things I can take from that, and I can channel those things in a positive way. This will help me perform at my job better."
"With this practice, I can clear my mind, take away the negativity, and just bring positive energy flowing through to everyone. This energy will clearly radiate to the guests and is vital to being a great host. And, in my personal life, I can find peace using these tools."
~Amba Charing Cross Employee
"The session I attended was led by young business graduate Andrew Scheffer who had earlier spent several years as a Theravada Buddhist monk. I was captivated from the very start of the session by the simple, practical idea that life should be lived 'in the present moment' rather than spent dwelling on the past or anticipating the future. Andrew led us through a basic mindfulness meditation technique and I experienced a rare sense of calm. I was hooked."
