Mindful Maestros Pillows

Psychology: Module 1 . . . . Attention span.

"I'd say we were pretty much on target."

"Here, we do not procrastinate, we 'table' things."

"Try thinking about something else."

Presentation: Thinking each other are idiots.

"You're good at asking all the right questions. Now let's hear some right answers."

The power of now

Guru.

"WOW, we're on top of the world!"

Two plans - one long-term and one short-term.

"Look! A dying brain cell! Maybe we should help!...."

"Well, it could be the rising tide of consumer indifference to our company's latest product, or it might be the sink in the men's bathroom acting up again. We're still not sure."

'Ooops! My mistake. That was the yearly budget estimate, no the monthly estimate.'

'Enter, His Royal Globalness...'

Man can levitate but can't hold fingers properly.

"And what my plan may lack in coherence, it makes up for in the exhilerating momentum created by all of these super-cool arrows!"

'Good - we're finally all on the same rampage.'

'This training session is all about challenging assumptions. For example you see someone looking depressed, dishevelled, unkempt it's easy to jump to conclusions. But they may not be a social worker, they may be a client!'

"Costs have risen by 200% and we are behind schedule. We are living up to our acronym gentlemen and I am not happy about it!!"

"This isn't a bad time to be out of touch with reality."

The boss and her baby

At the Penguin fishing school: 'Gunvald has set the bar kind of high, gang!'

"Next?? How should I know what comes next?"

'let's see if we can find any loopholes in this 'honesty-is-the-best-policy' nonsense.'

"Yeah, but no progress in meeting..."

"I'm worried that I'm the only one who constantly gets anxiety attacks..."

Communicating with clients without using buzzwords posed a challenge for the consultants.

'Honey. . . I'm ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm.'

"Starting here, each person whisper to your neighbor the purpose of this meeting and we'll see what we end up with."

"Would it be possible to speak with the personality that pays the bills."

...and this was that really cute kitty cat video on YouTube.

'I can show you in our panic room while you're waiting to see the boss.'

Pregnancy and Laptops

'When I need to think better, I just step outside.'

Psychiatry. I'm not fooling anybody but myself? Well, that's a start!
