The Art of Living corporate workshop (APEX) is a practical and effective training programme that empowers participants to be more centered and balanced through out the working day.

We live and operate within a fast paced and highly competitive environment. Because of increasing pressures to achieve and produce at a faster rate, stress is considered a normal part of the typical business routine. Our professional and personal lives are so interwoven that there is no separation. Stress-related burnout is common and carries us in a downward spiral.

The corporate course has been developed for businesses to facilitate change from within each employee and manager. It is a simple, practical and effective training programme enabling participants to experience calm and focus in the midst of any challenge or responsibility.

The course incorporates powerful breathing techniques to help manage stress. Participants report that they experience improved focus and concentration, enhanced creativity, and high levels of energy throughout the day. The course also incorporates basic principles for effective living, emphasizing the essential human values that help professionals lead more fulfilling and productive lives.

This course differs from most management and employee development programmes because it is not based on quick-fix solutions, theoretical concepts or superficial success formulas - but rather on practical techniques that offer direct and tangible results.

Companies have reported a significant increase in the levels of responsibility and commitment in the employees who have undertaken this program.
