Lovely ideas and sentiments and I hope ones that will support people to live more connected lives and cope better with day to day stress, anxiety and depression. It is delightful to see and feel the energy on social media as people respond to these ideas.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In ancient Rome before <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Julian_calendar\">Julius Caesar\u2019s calendar reform<\/a>, March was the first month of the year. It is the month when winter starts to end and spring begins. To me it feels like a fresh, new beginning each year, I\u2019m always slightly sad that the ski season is coming to a close, but at home in Yorkshire, it means nature waking up and beautiful spring flowers. However, it is also apparently the worst month for productivity and the best month for vasectomies! March was actually named for the Latin\u00a0Martius, or Mars, the Roman God of War. Incidentally, the Pentagon still seems to agree with this Roman tradition: with the exception of the recent War on Afghanistan, almost all major US-NATO led military operations since the invasion of Vietnam have begun in the month of March. Probably best we send the Pentagon on holiday in March in future!<\/p>\n<h2>Mindful Mentoring for March<\/h2>\n<p>My challenge to mentors this March, is to consider how you can mentor more mindfully during the month and going forward, so &#8216;Mindful Mentoring for March&#8217;. To me the skills of a <a href=\"\/mentoring\/mentoring-solutions.html\">truly effective mentor<\/a> are totally grounded in mindfulness. Jon Kabat-Zinn talks of mindfulness as: \u2018<em>The quality of paying attention in the present moment, without judgement.<\/em>\u2019 When we speak of being mindful, we aren\u2019t talking about meditation, or other mindfulness practices. Instead be more attentive to what is around us and be more aware or even careful about what we do. Having a deeper understanding of how a mindful mind set can enhance a mentor\u2019s practice, both for themselves and their mentee, would improve the effectiveness of the majority of mentors who haven\u2019t thought of their practice through this mindful mentoring\u00a0lens previously.<\/p>\n<p>So to explore the elements of mindfulness that can really enhance a mentor\u2019s practice further, join me on the 14<sup>th<\/sup> March at 1pm UK time for a short webinar. If you can\u2019t make it, we can send you a useful infographic to showcase some of the ideas I will be discussing instead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/about-us\/contact-us.html\">Contact us<\/a> to book your free place or ask for your infographic.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy your Mindful March!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year the term \u2018Mindful March\u2019 is everywhere, with encouragement to be more mindful in your approach to life for the 31 days, trying out a new idea or action to help you live more in the present moment.
