MindBody Awareness: Amy Colvin, one of our massage therapists, teaches a thirty-minute class that moves through a dozen qigong (a Chinese practice related to tai chi) poses followed by seated meditation. The course is now available in sixteen cities around the world, often delivered by Hangout. An engineer told Amy, “Being aware of what my physical body needs while my brain is busy coding has helped me significantly reduce stress, not get so worn out, and enjoy my job.”

Presenting with Charisma: Sales leader Adam Green teaches Googlers how to move beyond the basics of developing good presentation content to more sophisticated issues like tone, body language, and the use of displacement tactics. An example? “If you find yourself always fiddling with your hands or keeping them in your pockets, try standing behind a chair or podium and planting your hands on the podium so you appear confident. Planting your hands displaces the nervous energy.” Another tip: “To rid yourself of saying ‘umm’ during a presentation, use physical displacement. Every time you are transitioning, do something small but physical, like moving your pen. Making a conscious effort to move your pen will turn your brain off from using a verbal filler instead.”
