When ASML Researchers meet the Legacy of Leonardo da Vinci

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!

Now is a great time to use Vlisco's colorful fabrics and prints from the Netherlands for modern fashion. The designs are as expressive as the women who wear them around the world. The creative people behind these amazing designs had an interactive workshop on how to relax in the office. Being relaxed is important for coming up with the best ideas during the creative process. Thank you, Vlisco, for being an open-minded innovator. Be kind to yourself, Rob Maas Founder and Director of Own Your Life Journeys #VLISCO #LEADERSHIP #TEAMWORK #RELAXATIONINTHEOFFICE

“Every day, I'm gaining insight into how the people I'm connected to define who I am. They either inspire me to become who I aspire to be or they inspire me how I don’t want to be. Take a moment to observe the people you're connected to. And thank you for inspiring me. πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™‹πŸ»‍β™‚οΈπŸŒŸ" Rob Maas πŸ˜ƒ Founder and Director of Own Your Life Journeys #CONNECTION #LEADERSHIP #TEAMWORK #ARTofRELAXATION

Have you ever met someone who says they're a perfectionist? We all know someone like that, right? But here's the thing: Did they always get everything perfect? Did their work turn out flawless every time? Being a perfectionist means aiming for something that's impossible to reach. And most of the time, it just leaves you feeling frustrated and unhappy. Instead of always trying to be perfect, let's focus on making progress. Instead of setting strict goals in our minds, let's listen to our hearts and do what feels right. When we follow our passions and instincts, amazing things can happen. We may be able to surpass the restrictive limits our brains considered to be perfect! 🌟 On LinkedIn, let's encourage each other to keep growing and improving, without worrying about being perfect. Together, we can achieve great things that everyone can be proud of. πŸ’Όβœ¨ Enjoy your day and be kind to yourself. Rob Maas Founder and Director of Own Your Life Journeys
