Rated 1 out of 5 by from Compared to similar courses, very low level There are two good courses offered on the subject: by Professor Mark W. Muesse, Practicing Mindfulness, and by Dr. Heidi Sormaz, Overthinking. Compared to these courses, this one is of VERY low quality. Teaching Company degraded the quality of courses significantly compared to what it used to be twenty years ago. In my view, 50-60% of material and presentation in this course is on the verge of profanity. The duration of lectures (lectures?) varies a lot. One is about 16 min I think, which is just an advertising. Same few pictures go through all presentations. Flashing light of the sun (through leave canopy) makes pain to eyes, and this same video excerpt is used often. And so on. Teaching Company betrays its customers (and very loyal ones, please note) allowing such courses to appear. I expect, as it previously happened, a favourable counter-balancing review or a comment annihilating my review will follow. Folks, don't be duped, but buy good proven courses on the subject.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Inspiration, motivation and comfort!! I keep returning to this course! I make notes on what Wendy Quan teaches and shows us. She shares her wisdom with easy to understand and authentic presentation. As well as the simple and enlightening topics -- just listening to the tone of her voice and seeing her gentle smile shows us a path we can follow to increased mindfulness, no matter what we are dealing with!! I treasure this experience and highly recommend it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very calming The thought of having control over personal stress at work calms my monkey-mind! Learning methods to pull out at work as needed is priceless. The visuals were very calming, particularly the raindrops. I already feel change is possible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I highly recommend this course! Mindfulness for the Workplace is an excellent class, and, as a worksite wellness practitioner, I highly recommend it! Ms. Quan has a way of making mindfulness accessible to all levels of experience – from those who are skeptical of the practice to those who meditate daily. She breaks things down to simple, easy-to-digest concepts; provides evidence-based methods and science to back up the benefits of mindfulness; offers many tools and practices that can be done anywhere and take only a few moments; and makes sure the practice is inclusive, secular, and appropriate for the workplace.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Practical wisdom to thrive in the workplace This is a very comprehensive, accessible, and welcoming course about mindfulness in the workplace and in one’s personal life. I love the way Wendy Quan explained an aspect of mindfulness and then shared real stories, backed up with research, and provided so many different types of meditations for different situations. Her guiding voice was very calming, clear, yet gentle and kind. I feel I can apply many parts of this course to improving difficult conversations/encounters. I plan to listen to this again and take notes as there are so many valuable practical applications. Thank you!
