- Evaluation and PR: How can we measure and report back to business leaders?
- “What makes Mind and Matter stand out from the crowd is the speakers. While most mindfulness conferences consist mainly of mindfulness training providers extolling the virtues of mindfulness, the speakers at this conference are principally from organisations, sharing their experiences and best practice with a practical and pragmatic edge. If you are seriously considering mindfulness from an organisational perspective, this is the must attend conference of the year.” Juliet Adams, Director and Innovator, A Head For Work; Author “Mindfulness At Work For Dummies”
