Corporate Zen: How Mindfulness Can Transform Your Workday With Alp Geckelan

On this episode of Mindful You, Alan Carroll interviews Alp Geckalan. Carroll and Geckalan speak about mindfulness in the workplace. Alp’s journey into mindfulness started in 2018 when he was practicing a mantra meditation. Mindfulness means lots of different things to different people and can be very benefical to everyone while at work. Before Alp has a meeting he takes a ‘landing minute’ – where he focuses on his breath and finds that he can hyper focus on the meeting at hand. Once we become conscious about our moments we become more present and can focus on our workdays. We should always try to use meditation as a physical exercise for our brain and try to use experiential mindfulness to help us anchor our thoughts at work.About The Guest: Alp Geckalan is a highly accomplished professional currently serving as the director of SAP Digital Skills Center in Dubai.
