Achieving Right-Minded Teamwork® (RMT) involves adopting an attitude of mindfulness.
RMT is a unique, real-world, continuous improvement method that uses these 7 Mindfulness Training Lessons to help people shift their perspective and consistently ensure they Do No Harm as they Work as One®.
Mindfulness is your conscious ability to monitor your thoughts in the present, calmly acknowledging and accepting your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and those of others. This calmness is the catalyst for inviting Reason and experiencing a Moment of Reason, which instantly clarifies the best way to respond to a challenging team situation.
These powerful lessons are inspired by A Course in Miracles and RMT’s Right Choice Model. They can be summed up in one sentence, with emphasis on three words:
Right-Minded Teammates accept, forgive, and adjust their thinking and work behavior.
