You are very welcome Niarli. Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you found the article helpful.

Thanks for your thoughts and sharing it with us.

Thanks Roman for your quick reply! Just checked out Kathy’s website. Will contact her. I am happy to hear about these developments 🙂

Thank you for your kind feedback Maarten. It’s great to hear that you find my writing helpful, and that you enjoyed my mindfulness post. I agree that practicing mindfulness can be hard: I sometimes just don’t want to be aware of my mental states and emotions, particularly when I don’t like them. I don’t have any experience with introducing mindfulness to groups of people in a workplace. But I recommend contacting Kathy Berkidge who might be able to help. Good luck!

Loved your book (Agile PM) and have been catching up on you blog. It is really inspiring. Especially liked this post as it provides practical guidelines on how to apply mindfulness in the life of a PO. Though the principles you put forward are simple, the application may take some time (at least it took me a couple of years to develop a daily mediation routine). Nonetheless I find it a great investment in both work and life in general. Working as a PO for a start-up myself I could probably not have faced the uncertainty that goes hand in hand with the creation of something new without daily mindfulness practice.

What I would like to ask you if you could share any thoughts or experiences in applying mindfulness practice to a group of people (e.g. management team or scrum team). For example, I feel it would be great to introduce the concept of ‘Beginning Anew’ (Thich Nhat Hanh) to the workplace. Yet I still encounter resistance to such concepts.

Thanks or your feedback Jennifer. Great to hear that the post is helpful for you.

Thanks you for your comment and for sharing your experience. I am glad to hear that you’ve found meditation helpful. Keep it up!
