By choosing to focus on only one task at a time, I engage in more useful conversations with my colleagues and have also found that my enhanced concentration has significantly improved my overall creative output.” —Nick Foley, President SE Asia Pacific & Japan, Landor “The pace and complexity in today’s organizations affects all co-workers and leaders in all aspects. Especially when the boundaries between work and “life” becomes more and more interlinked. The decision to use CBMT as a tool in order to decrease stress levels in our organization turned out to be a real game changer for our coworkers.
