Business retreat day 5

Thich Nhat Hanh · November 2, 1999 · New Hamlet, Plum Village, France

This talk details mindful communication in the workplace, emphasizing genuine interactions, deep listening, and accepting others without expecting perfection. Building harmony through shared moments like coffee breaks can enhance communication and productivity. A doctor in Los Angeles exemplifies fostering well-being by sending staff to retreats, recognizing their impact on work. Encouraging workplaces to function like harmonious families can lead to better outcomes. Investing in training offers growth opportunities, and mindful practices can positively impact relationships. Engage compassionately, embodying Dharma teachings even in brief interactions. Transform workplaces into meditation spaces with music and shared meals, counteracting fast work life. Practice mindfulness in everyday activities, staying present without worries. Find joy in each moment, savoring life like an orange, understanding life through awareness and presence. Don’t let busyness consume life; even during lunch, practice mindful conversation, like in Washington DC in 1966 with seven senators.
