This exercise aims to practice and experience mindful listening. Participants reflect on the most important thing learned from training and discuss it with a colleague. They observe thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations when speaking and listening. The goal is twofold: to reflect on past training and familiarize with mindful listening, which involves listening completely without interrupting or thinking ahead. Mindful listening creates stillness as the speaker feels understood and listener is free from inner chatter.

Conclusion
Most approaches to mindfulness are geared toward the individual level and not the social or community level to which traditional mindfulness methods were targeted. It is not only about our own personal growth but the enlightenment of the community as a whole. We are never separate. And this insight is fundamental for any effective wellbeing effort (workplace or otherwise). This experiential webinar will feature a cursory overview of mindfulness (definition, measurement, practices) and participants will be invited to complete introspective surveys about their own mindfulness to help ground the social conversation for the webinar. We will then contemplate seven different ways in which wellness champions can show up in a mindful way within the social context (community or sangha) of their work setting. These are listed below. Participants will be invited to self-assess their capacity for each and given tools to continue developing each.
· The Values Clarifier (Your Cause, Calling, or Legacy)
· The Intentional Centerer (Breathe…Breathe…Breathe)
· The Heedful Relater (Loving Kindness)
· The Compassionate Nudger (Mindfully Encourage)
· The Knower of Impact (Integrity, Foresight, and Social Contagion)
· The Thriver (All Stress is Grist for the Mill)
· The Garnerer of Trust (We are One)
Learning Objectives
1) Define mindfulness and identify at least one measure and practice of mindfulness
2) Distinguish intra-personal mindfulness from inter-personal mindfulness
3) Identify seven different ways that wellness champion may embody mindfulness in their interactions with others

Meditation is a practice of mindfulness and concentration that can allow you to gain important insights about yourself and the world around you. For those looking to better understand themselves and experience self-discovery, meditation can help you calm your mind and better evaluate your life. However, meditation alone will not grant you personal insights. By regularly meditating and living a more thoughtful life, you may be able to better understand who you are and what you are capable of.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Assisting with daily living activities (bathing, feeding).
Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:

2. The goal of this exercise, as follows:
“We often think about the past or future when listening to another person talk. When we do that, we are
actually not listening at all. Instead of being in the moment and fully absorbing both the words and content
from the speaker, other activities occur in our minds, such as planning our reply or thinking about what we
should have said. In this exercise, you are going to practice and experience what mindful listening means.”
Think about the most important thing you have learned during this training. In 2 to 5 minutes, reflect on your
insights, tell a colleague about what you have learned. Ask them to tell you what they have learned : one story
at a time, listen carefully to what the other person has to say.
Pay attention to how it feels to talk about your personal experiences. Observe your own thoughts, feelings,
and body sensations both when talking and listening.
Exercise: Mindful Reflection
3. REVIEWING THE EXERCISE
• How did you feel when speaking during the exercise?
• How did you feel when listening during the exercise?
• Did you notice your mind-wandering?
• If so, what was the distraction?
• What helped you bring your attention back to the present?
• Did your mind judge while listening to others?
• If so, how did “judging” make your body feel?
• How did your body feel right after speaking?
• What are you feeling right now?
• Do you think mindful listening would change the way you interact with others?
THE GOAL OF THE EXERCISE
The goal of this exercise is twofold. First, this exercise requires you to reflect on the past seven training sessions. Second, this exercise familiarizes you with
mindful listening. Mindful listening is an important skill. In general, people thrive when they feel fully “heard” and “seen”. Mindful listening means listening
completely to the other person. Instead of interrupting the person, trying to tell one’s own story or thinking ahead, the listener is fully present in this moment.
Mindful listening involves a form of self-regulation in which the focus on the self is set aside. Mindful listening can create an inner stillness in both parties, as the
speaker may feel free of the listener’s preconceptions and prejudices while the listener may be free of inner chatter.

STEP 3: EXERCISE – MINDFUL REFLECTION
Prior to starting the exercise, inform participants about the goal of this exercise, as follows:

In this exercise, you are going to practice and experience what mindful listening means.”
Ask participants to think about the most important thing they learned during this training. In 2 to 5 minutes, allow each participant to share insights with the group: one story at a time, with everyone else listening.
Before participants start sharing their stories, invite them to direct attention to how it feels to talk about their personal experiences. Participants are instructed to observe their own thoughts, feelings, and body sensations both when talking and listening.
REVIEWING THE EXERCISE
Together with the group, discuss the following reflective questions:
How did you feel when speaking during the exercise?
How did you feel when listening during the exercise?
Did you notice your mind-wandering?
