ASML is one of the world’s most important manufacturers of chip-making equipment. This week, I was invited to join a workshop with a group of senior engineers from their Research Department. In between their highly technical discussions, I was given three 20-minute slots to explain the importance of The Art of Relaxation.
We all know that when we’re in a state of relaxation, we can generate the greatest ideas, and in an environment where we feel safe, we can work together with others to achieve the most challenging goals as a team for our company.
Using three self-portraits of Leonardo da Vinci, I suggested that:
1. Every observation (your truth) is about perception and perspective (‘Vitruvian Man’).
2. Every person has both masculine and feminine characteristics (‘Mona Lisa’).
3. If you really want something, you’ll DO IT (‘Man in Red Chalk’).
In addition to these lines of ‘food for thought’, all participants experienced how to apply The Art of Relaxation within just a few minutes during each of the three sessions.
It’s not hard to relax during a vacation, while skiing in the Alps, or enjoying the beautiful island of Bali. The Art of Relaxation is about bringing yourself and your team into a state of relaxation in an office environment, which will enable you and your team to become more productive in your daily work.
That’s what we do at Own Your Life Journeys.
The workshop sessions were acknowledged by the senior researchers of ASML with a score of 9.4. 60% of the participants rewarded our sessions with a 10!
Every engineer wrote down that they are looking forward to a follow-up session, and so are we.
Thank you, ASML. Be kind to yourself and enjoy your day!
