Originally a Sales & Marketing Director involved in various SME businesses, Chris was first atracted to mindfulness to help him deal with anxiety and the stress of running a business.
Mindfulness enables him to become aware of his reactive behaviours and by working mindfully he was able to bring equanimity to his day to day engagement and ultmatley was able to introduce it to his staff.
Due to this engagement, Chris saw that he could introduce mindfulness and mental health first aid into other businesses.
Ultimately he wanted to help owners, directors, managers and staff become happier, resilent and more engaged. This then developed into supporting companies with a sustainable mental health and wellbeing strategy.
The introduction of these strategies results in a more sucessful outcome for everyone, both in their business or in their perosnal lives.
Chris is an accredited Breathworks Mindfulness Teacher and Mental Health First Aid instructor.
The Business of Mindfulness was created by Chris Hopkirk & Hayey Aghanian to provide companies mental health & wellbeing services.
Having worked in business together as directors responsible for the running of the business they realised how hard it was to create a sustainable culture of safety for employees to be vulnearable avbut their mental health and wellbeing. Having a day job to run the business as well as create the culture was extremely difficult to achieve and they reaslised they needed help. Ultimatley they decided that the passion and experience they had for creating a safe cuture that embraced mental health and wellbeing was somehting they wanted to bring to other companies. So the Business of Mindfulness was born.
