Engage in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Enroll in MBSR programs to enrich your practice and reap the full benefits of mindfulness.
Read Books and Take Courses: Educate yourself about mindfulness through books, courses, and workshops. It will deepen your understanding and commitment to the practice.
Join a Meditation Group: Connecting with a community can enhance your practice, provide support, and offer valuable insights and tips.

Besides the numerous advantages it offers for team performance, emotional intelligence also plays a pivotal role in fostering diversity and inclusion within teams. Managers who possess high emotional intelligence are more inclined to comprehend individual distinctions and effectively engage and cooperate with diverse team members.
Effective managers with emotional intelligence cultivate a warm and inclusive workplace, where team members are genuinely appreciated and treated with respect. This fosters not only stronger team unity but also encourages the free flow of diverse perspectives and ideas, unencumbered by the fear of judgment or exclusion.
Moreover, managers with high emotional intelligence can effectively reduce unconscious bias within their teams by acknowledging and confronting their own biases. Additionally, they can foster a culture of diversity awareness among team members, promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities. This creates a more dynamic and innovative team, resulting in improved performance and success for the organization.

Poli is truly a gifted and extraordinary visionary. Her humble character truly is an outstanding quality. Poli has a unique approach of being able to pinpoint the problem quickly and lead the individual to clarity and deep awareness.

I have been searching for years for a genuine counsellor that has the knowledge and expertise that Poli has. She is as genuine as they come, tells it as is it and has the knowledge to back it up while still remaining caring and compassionate. I feel very lucky to have been supported by Poli at a time when it made a world of difference. I feel like I owe her so much. Thank you for everything Poli, your support has meant more than you will ever know. We need more people like this in the world. |

Bevan East | |
I’ve been a patient here for a few years, particularly of the psychology department with Poli. To say I have found it extremely beneficial is an understatement. I have developed skills and an understanding of myself that is difficult to describe. But has had a monumental impact on my life. Starting out with high levels of anxiety and depression, my ability to control my emotions and harness abilities more effectively has seen positive aspects in my social life, relationships, work life and studies. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to solve their problems, improve their life and or more effectively and efficiently communicate. |
