Episode 14

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.

Alan Carroll:

Hi, everybody. Welcome to the mindful U

Alan Carroll:

podcast. My name is Alan Carroll. And I'm going to be

Alan Carroll:

your host, as we journey together, down the pathway of

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness, to explore, to experience to hear the stories

Alan Carroll:

and experiences of other mindful travelers who have been

Alan Carroll:

traveling the path in various forms, many paths of

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness. And I want to share a little bit of my background.

Alan Carroll:

And I'll divide this talk into two parts. First will be my

Alan Carroll:

background. Which brings me up to the second part, which is

Alan Carroll:

okay, mindful you podcast. What is this fella know about

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness. And part two is I'll share with you the

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness practice that I've been, and my group has been

Alan Carroll:

teaching for the last 40 years as one of those paths, that

Alan Carroll:

allows people to experience to experience a sense of

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness, and all the benefits that come with having a

Alan Carroll:

mindful state of consciousness. Alright, welcome app to the

Alan Carroll:

mindful you podcast. And I want to thank you for being here

Alan Carroll:

today. And I'm excited because you are the ambassador of

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness for the one of the largest corporate organizations

Alan Carroll:

in the world, S A. P. So I want to thank you for taking the time

Alan Carroll:

today to share with our audience. And I'd like to ask a

Alan Carroll:

question from a background of if, if I was a manager, like you

Alan Carroll:

work for a corporation. And I was thinking about benefits and

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness. I've heard about mindfulness. And yet I'm not

Alan Carroll:

quite clear. And I wish I could hear someone talk about

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness and share their experiences. So I would feel

Alan Carroll:

more comfortable, whether or not I can have this conversation

Alan Carroll:

brought into my, into my organization also. So you've

Alan Carroll:

been involved with mindfulness at SAP for how many years out?

Unknown:

It's been three years now, three years. All right,

Alan Carroll:

backtracking to three years. What was the vision

Alan Carroll:

of, of the people in corporate SAP, that they decided that

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness was a key differentiator are a very

Alan Carroll:

important characteristic to bring within the organization?

Alp Geckalan:

Thanks, Ellen, first of all, thanks for having

Alp Geckalan:

me. In this podcast, it's incredible to catch up with you.

Alp Geckalan:

We had great experiences together great training sessions

Alp Geckalan:

together. And I'm so happy that mindfulness was at the core of

Alp Geckalan:

what of what you do and what we have been doing as well, as part

Alp Geckalan:

of our training programs. It's been nine years that I'm working

Alp Geckalan:

for SAP, my mindfulness journey started back in 2018 90, where I

Alp Geckalan:

was practicing a mantra meditation. And then in 2020, I

Alp Geckalan:

just bumped into an email came from the sap global mindfulness

Alp Geckalan:

practice, global mindfulness initiative. And they were

Alp Geckalan:

providing his course it's called Search Inside Yourself. Maybe

Alp Geckalan:

you heard about it. Is this the course content, the approach

Alp Geckalan:

built by Google? Actually, they've done lots of research.

Alp Geckalan:

They've done lots of workshop, and then they realize

Alp Geckalan:

mindfulness really increase the productivity, overall wellbeing

Alp Geckalan:

in the company. And it really increased the leadership skills,

Alp Geckalan:

especially for the managers. So SAP has decided to implement the

Alp Geckalan:

same Search Inside Yourself global mindfulness initiative

Alp Geckalan:

across the globe, more than 100,000 people working for SAP.

Alp Geckalan:

It's definitely not an easy task. But it's been 10 years,

Alp Geckalan:

that ASAP implemented this methodology or initiative, let's

Alp Geckalan:

say more than 15,000 people participated in more than 55

Alp Geckalan:

countries. Now we reach out more than 70 internal trainers in

Alp Geckalan:

more than 25 countries. We have 85 Ambassadors, which I'm one of

Alp Geckalan:

them based in Dubai, covering the emir, South countries, and

Alp Geckalan:

our virtual community reach more than 15,000 people. So from my

Alp Geckalan:

perspective, it really helped me to develop my leadership skills.

Alp Geckalan:

I'm running workshops, I'm running, guided meditations for

Alp Geckalan:

the group kickoff meetings, for example, I deal with my team in

Alp Geckalan:

a mindful manner, which I can discuss about the benefits

Alp Geckalan:

later. But what I can say from an ambassador perspective, as a

Alp Geckalan:

receiver of this training, I've seen lots of benefits out of

Alp Geckalan:

this global mindfulness practice.

Alan Carroll:

Wow, that that was wonderful to hear to hear your

Alan Carroll:

story. Let's take a look at the benefits. Let's say let's just

Alan Carroll:

backtrack a little bit. And how would you if I'm not clear about

Alan Carroll:

the definition of mindfulness? And I'm listening to you talk,

Alan Carroll:

could you just tell me, in your own words, of course, the the

Alan Carroll:

definition or the the idea of what mindfulness, what

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness is?

Unknown:

Well, it's gonna be a difficult task to define it to

Unknown:

you, because I learned mindfulness from you. But my

Unknown:

definition of mindfulness is basically regulating your

Unknown:

attention, consciously, your attitude. And then you don't

Unknown:

judge anything, you just accept everything as it is, in that

Unknown:

moment. This is how I see mindfulness. So you bring your

Unknown:

conscious mind into a state, where you don't live in an

Unknown:

autopilot world, when you actually notice everything

Unknown:

around you in that moment. This is what mindfulness for me,

Alan Carroll:

that's a very good definition of mindfulness, that,

Alan Carroll:

that that points to the the fundamental skill is the skill

Alan Carroll:

of observation, to be able to observe, you're in a situation,

Alan Carroll:

the organization, something something's happening in front

Alan Carroll:

of you, your five senses are plugged into it, you can see it,

Alan Carroll:

you feel it, and something's being stirred up, it feels

Alan Carroll:

something's being stirred, energy stirred up, got thoughts

Alan Carroll:

being stirred up, and you're able to step back. Notice that,

Alan Carroll:

that. And just by noticing it, it begins to settle that energy.

Alan Carroll:

And so exactly what you said I thought was, was was was

Alan Carroll:

brilliant, wonderful. It's great to hear the ambassador speak

Alan Carroll:

with such eloquence about about the idea of mindfulness, because

Alan Carroll:

you, you hit it right on the head, it's that ability to

Alan Carroll:

observe your reaction, and then transform it into a response.

Alan Carroll:

And that that that is mentally balanced, physically balanced,

Alan Carroll:

emotionally balanced. And and now you have nine years of

Alan Carroll:

practice at SAP. And it's exciting to hear that the there

Alan Carroll:

is people who say that things are changing, people are

Alan Carroll:

changing. And so what are some of the benefits that you have

Alan Carroll:

noticed, in your organization, with with bringing mindfulness

Alan Carroll:

in,

Unknown:

there are a couple of things like that I can easily

Unknown:

mention top of my head, first of all, the meetings become more

Unknown:

productive. For example, there is a practice what I usually do

Unknown:

as well before joining a meeting, or just take a minute,

Unknown:

it's, I would call it like a landing minutes, for example,

Unknown:

right? When you go to landing with the plane, everybody's kind

Unknown:

of focusing on the landing, it's the same metaphor, let's say for

Unknown:

the meeting, I take a minute, focus on my breath. And then I

Unknown:

go to into meeting to take the most out of it with the good

Unknown:

intentions. Some of the managers, some of the people, I

Unknown:

think, we've done it, and I'm still doing it, I'm not perfect.

Unknown:

You go to a meeting, and then still you're thinking of the

Unknown:

previous meeting, or you're thinking of the next meeting,

Unknown:

right? What I'm gonna say in the next meeting, what did they say

Unknown:

to my What did they make a comment about the previous

Unknown:

meeting? You basically missed the moment. Basically, that

Unknown:

meeting is not productive because you're not focusing it

Unknown:

right now. I think this is the first benefit in terms of

Unknown:

productivity. If you become conscious about that moment,

Unknown:

then you become more present. And then you focus on the

Unknown:

meeting. So the productivity goes up. Second, is a personal

Unknown:

power. If anyone bothers you, if any, anything bothers you,

Unknown:

instead of reacting, you take a moment, and then you respond.

Unknown:

This is where your personal power lies, I think. So you

Unknown:

become more empowered, you become more powerful and strong,

Unknown:

because you are in control of the moment, right? So now you

Unknown:

become free, real hassle free of anxiety, free of salts, free of

Unknown:

these chatter back of your head, right. So I think these two have

Unknown:

its moment and the productivity, it's the best outcome.

Alan Carroll:

And the word freedom. Freedom is a another

Alan Carroll:

word that you said, which is that feeling of, of non

Alan Carroll:

judgmental, being able to see that you just made a judgment.

Alan Carroll:

And once again, it goes back to the observation to see I just

Alan Carroll:

made a judge still, you're good, I'm still gonna make judgments.

Alan Carroll:

But I noticed that I made a judgment. And I realized that

Alan Carroll:

the judgment is based on the past. And so I paint this moment

Alan Carroll:

with paint from the past, rather than be present it with and that

Alan Carroll:

is, like erasing you can you can erase the judgments that the

Alan Carroll:

judgment disappear? And an important part of the

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness, which is the next question I want to get into our

Alan Carroll:

is the is the embodiment of consciousness, rather than the

Alan Carroll:

disembodiment, of following the thoughts in your head? Versus is

Alan Carroll:

there something else I can do? Oh, yeah, there's the breath in

Alan Carroll:

the body, which allows you to become embodied. And that begins

Alan Carroll:

to diminish that, that that flow of energy to the thoughts, the

Alan Carroll:

flow of energy goes to the body where there are no thoughts. So

Alan Carroll:

what are some of the practices that that you have? seen done

Alan Carroll:

are do yourself with the teams that SAP?

Unknown:

Individual level, if I talk about myself, I'm pretty

Unknown:

judgmental person. And what I realize these judgments, as you

Unknown:

said, it's coming from a programming, maybe from my

Unknown:

childhood, maybe from the culture that I've been raised

Unknown:

in, maybe from my parents, maybe the society, maybe the school,

Unknown:

maybe the previous companies, right? This is absorbed by my

Unknown:

subconscious mind. And then I'm judging everything, right? What

Unknown:

I start to do, still not perfect, but I'm just a student,

Unknown:

as you said, always,

Alan Carroll:

so am I try,

Unknown:

try to notice it, label it, and then let it go focus on

Unknown:

your breathing. It's easy to say, difficult to make, right?

Unknown:

You're in a moment you say, Oh, this email is bad. Wow. bad or

Unknown:

wrong? Or whom or from what perspective, right? Because I'm

Unknown:

just literally judging it. But instead of charging, I could

Unknown:

just, I'm judging it right now. Let it be, just breathe. And

Unknown:

then think about your response. This is what I'm trying to do.

Unknown:

It's good for self awareness.

Alan Carroll:

So let's just let's just go back on that one.

Alan Carroll:

Because it's real, real important that that people

Alan Carroll:

understand clearly what step one is. And step one is, before I

Alan Carroll:

try to stick my hands out into the world and make changes, I

Alan Carroll:

better stick hands into myself, and make sure that the

Alan Carroll:

instrument that is doing the perception is in a is stable.

Alan Carroll:

And the more stable it is, the clearer you are about

Alan Carroll:

appropriate courses of action. And often what I see is that

Alan Carroll:

people react to things in the outer world from a platform that

Alan Carroll:

is unstable. And you can you can see if you're looking the the

Alan Carroll:

unstability simply by the pattern and control of their

Alan Carroll:

speaking, because when you're out of control, you're out of

Alan Carroll:

control. You're speaking but if you are you're speaking big

Alan Carroll:

sounds a lot more grounded, a lot more powerful, a lot more

Alan Carroll:

clear. You're not caught by a hook by a story. And this I I'm

Alan Carroll:

pretty sure we're both on the same page. Is that correct?

Unknown:

100% 100%.

Alan Carroll:

Go ahead and, and talk about so you had mentioned

Alan Carroll:

guided meditations, that that to me is a wonderful tool. So share

Alan Carroll:

some of the, the guided, what is a guided meditation? And what

Alan Carroll:

are some of the guided meditations. And as a matter of

Alan Carroll:

fact, I would like you if you would to lead us all in a guided

Alan Carroll:

meditation, a couple of minute guided meditations so people can

Alan Carroll:

actually experience a guided meditation, whoa, okay, what was

Alan Carroll:

that.

Unknown:

And, for example, just a couple of weeks ago, I was

Unknown:

invited to a team kickoff meeting, where the regional

Unknown:

heads wanted to create an awareness of the mindfulness and

Unknown:

a bit of practice as well. And before we do the practice, I

Unknown:

wanted to make them aware of themself, and also their

Unknown:

surrounding, right. So I always start with a concept of the VUCA

Unknown:

world, we are living in a very volatile, uncertain, complex,

Unknown:

complex and ambiguity, environments, right. So they're

Unknown:

aware that everything is changing, sometimes in their

Unknown:

control, sometimes out of their control. Right. So their mind is

Unknown:

constantly all there is a popup, it says, You got an email, there

Unknown:

is a pop up, you got an SMS message there is something is

Unknown:

happening. And it's all distractions, our mind is

Unknown:

constantly on. However, by default, I think our body

Unknown:

designed to be in the rest and digest situation or status,

Unknown:

let's say. So how are we going to bring our mind and body into

Unknown:

rest and digest status, right? Meditation is one of them. So

Unknown:

this is how I build this story. Make sure that they're aware

Unknown:

that this world is out of their control, but what they can

Unknown:

control is their body and the reaction.

Alan Carroll:

When I say that, again, they can control that,

Alan Carroll:

again, you can't control what's outside of yourself, but you can

Alan Carroll:

control

Unknown:

your reactions, your attitudes, and your state of

Unknown:

mind.

Alan Carroll:

Yes, yes. And your physical body. Absolutely. And

Alan Carroll:

you can control your breath. So so these are things that are

Alan Carroll:

under your control. It's like, oh, I didn't know that. Oh,

Alan Carroll:

yeah. Yeah, you got under your control. And now that are under

Alan Carroll:

my control, what did you do next?

Unknown:

And so we're talking about the neurological system

Unknown:

that we have. So if there isn't something out of our control,

Unknown:

our body, our mind is designed to attach. So it's like a flight

Unknown:

and fight mood all the time. So we perceive everything is a

Unknown:

danger, danger. So like, it's like a lion wants to eat us.

Unknown:

Yes. You know, this dinosaur wants to attack us or something.

Unknown:

Yeah. However, it's just the perceived danger. Again, it

Unknown:

comes from our back of our head, all of our programming. Yep.

Unknown:

Programming coming from our previous life. When you get to

Unknown:

that level, when you increase your awareness, then you say,

Unknown:

wait a minute, it's, I don't need to fight with everything,

Unknown:

it's coming to me, I can choose the battles. So they, you start

Unknown:

to control your body, your breath, your reactions, your

Unknown:

attitude, basically everything. So this is this leads to the

Unknown:

next to the next, let's say metaphor that I usually use,

Unknown:

it's imagine the waves in the ocean, you cannot control the

Unknown:

ocean or the waves, but you can learn how to surf on it. So

Unknown:

basically, the world is going to happen, it's going to turn

Unknown:

regardless, if you worry about it. If you get anxious about it,

Unknown:

if you get angry about it. It's okay. But you need to learn how

Unknown:

to surf on these waves. That's the metaphor I'm using.

Alan Carroll:

Those are great, great metaphors. It's the There

Alan Carroll:

is a waking up kind of experience, from the dream of

Alan Carroll:

thought. And, and what I noticed in the work that I do is, if I

Alan Carroll:

can have you wake up from the dream of speaking, by

Alan Carroll:

consciously putting an empty space between the thoughts, you

Alan Carroll:

got to be present in the moment to be able to stop speaking

Alan Carroll:

consciously. And so that's another way of bringing

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness into into a corporation. It's through this,

Alan Carroll:

just the speaking piece. And that goes back to the leadership

Alan Carroll:

piece you talked about, what are some of the things that you see

Alan Carroll:

as a leader and a leader bringing mindfulness into their

Alan Carroll:

own way of being? What are some of the observations that you

Alan Carroll:

have seen?

Unknown:

There are scientific evidences that cool, let's say

Unknown:

it's been put out there, that it really physically builds your

Unknown:

brain, neuroplasticity, that I like to also mention in any any

Unknown:

mindfulness. Conversation, it's like, working out, when you work

Unknown:

out your muscles, then you get bigger muscles, right? Like

Unknown:

biceps, and so on. And meditation is similar to that

Unknown:

when you do meditation. It physically, physically helps

Unknown:

your brain to grow. The gray matter is actually growing. This

Unknown:

is incredible, really. And what I see as a benefit, when I when

Unknown:

I talk to my colleagues in the global mindfulness initiative,

Unknown:

the decision making process in a complex world we talk about the

Unknown:

VUCA world, it makes it easier because you make more conscious

Unknown:

decisions rather than reacting something you're responding to

Unknown:

something right. So in the complex environment, you make a

Unknown:

better decision. I can talk about the creativity. So

Unknown:

remember, dictation, absolutely as in, increase your creativity,

Unknown:

right? And maybe last thing that I can talk about is the

Unknown:

emotional regulation. Yes. So basically, you control your

Unknown:

emotions, you just sometimes with your emotions array, and

Unknown:

with potions, you are trying to respond to a situation. That I

Unknown:

think is

Alan Carroll:

the regulating of emotions is like there's there's

Alan Carroll:

so many things that you could get emotional about going on

Alan Carroll:

outside and the outside world across the planet, that if you

Alan Carroll:

had a way that you could regulate your emotions, so that

Alan Carroll:

you didn't get hooked by your emotions that I have emotions,

Alan Carroll:

but I have control of the emotions, rather than the

Alan Carroll:

emotions have control of me. That would be that would be a

Alan Carroll:

major major underlying it. Many, many times benefit of

Alan Carroll:

mindfulness in a corporation.

Unknown:

I think I asked you this during our one of the

Unknown:

training sessions, what about the feelings and I remember you

Unknown:

said, feelings are like it, like traffic signs, or an indicator.

Unknown:

It shows there is a red flag over here. When you're getting

Unknown:

angry at a situation. The situation is not making you

Unknown:

angry. You're feeling anger because of that situation. So

Unknown:

basically, as you said, we need to turn ourselves and regulate

Unknown:

that emotion. Why am I feeling anger at this very moment?

Alan Carroll:

So many good things anger. What would it be

Alan Carroll:

like to be in an environment in which anger attack thoughts were

Alan Carroll:

totally eliminated, that people could regulate, they could still

Alan Carroll:

get upset. Yet they're able to control the upset so that when

Alan Carroll:

they spoke, they didn't spoke from an ego human in it, but

Alan Carroll:

they spoke from a being of compassion, inclusion, seeing

Alan Carroll:

the different 360 points of view about it and and my physical

Alan Carroll:

body went on speaking is totally relaxed. And that would be what

Alan Carroll:

a vision that that would be and I believe that mindfulness that

Alan Carroll:

sap in the conversation of Mindfulness is a pathway to that

Alan Carroll:

conscious, keeping my body physically relaxed, no matter

Alan Carroll:

what's going on outside of me kind of stuff. And one of the

Alan Carroll:

ways that I'd like to complete our conversation is by having

Alan Carroll:

you to do a two or two or three minute mindfulness guided

Alan Carroll:

meditation with us, we'll have our we'll close our eyes and

Alan Carroll:

relax our body, so that people in the audience can actually

Alan Carroll:

experientially taste a little bit of the of the secret sauce

Alan Carroll:

of mindfulness.

Unknown:

Okay, all right. And we can, so we just need to find the

Unknown:

posture that feels both relax, alert at the same time. So we

Unknown:

make sure that we are not sleeping, you can put your feet

Unknown:

on the floor, hand on the size,

Alan Carroll:

and we're not driving a car by the way, we're

Alan Carroll:

we are safe.

Unknown:

If your eyes close, or with a soft focus, you don't

Unknown:

need to close, maybe soft focus just in front of you. Make sure

Unknown:

that you're not getting distracted, allowing the spine

Unknown:

to live, shoulders relax. Let's start with getting into focus

Unknown:

state of being become aware of your feet, contacting on the

Unknown:

ground, then your weight pressure on the sitting bones on

Unknown:

the chair. Then the sensation in your upper body, take a deep

Unknown:

breath. And that really is it you can feel the sensation of

Unknown:

your breathing in your upper body. Whenever the sensation is

Unknown:

most vivid for you become your attention to your breath there.

Unknown:

Consider your chosen sensation as the stabilizer of your

Unknown:

attention to come back to your focal point whenever needed.

Unknown:

You may get distracted with some thoughts, sounds or something

Unknown:

you see. Just bring your attention back to your breath.

Unknown:

Breath is your anchor to the present moment.

Unknown:

Distractions are coming, they're going instead of hooked up with

Unknown:

that or fighting with them. Notice it, label it. Let it be

Unknown:

and then bring your attention to your breath.

Unknown:

You can take one long inhale and then deep exhale. And then

Unknown:

slowly you can open your eye

Alan Carroll:

very relaxing, very relaxing. And if I was

Alan Carroll:

listening to this podcast, then I could actually use that guided

Alan Carroll:

meditation with my team. It's a short one. I think it lasts

Alan Carroll:

about two or three minutes. And it just gets people to begin to

Alan Carroll:

disconnect from the outer world and focus more on what's going

Alan Carroll:

on on the inner world. I remember someone said that the

Alan Carroll:

The way out is to go in. If you want to get out of whatever that

Alan Carroll:

complex world that we live in with all the emotional things I

Alan Carroll:

want to get out of going crazy. You got to go in to get out. And

Alan Carroll:

so mindfulness is that journey inward. So I want to thank you

Alan Carroll:

out for sharing with us the journey that you're on

Alan Carroll:

personally and professionally. It was exciting to hear you

Alan Carroll:

share it. And I'm just so happy that now when we send it out

Alan Carroll:

into the universe, other managers and other their

Alan Carroll:

corporate people, and other people can begin to integrate

Alan Carroll:

these these easily gotten mindfulness tools. And a couple

Alan Carroll:

of the questions. One was, if I was wanting to get a hold of you

Alan Carroll:

or connect with you, is there a way that I can connect with you

Alan Carroll:

an email or website or something?

Unknown:

LinkedIn would be great place to reach out to me. I'll

Unknown:

catch Golan, you can reach out to me on LinkedIn. It's, I have

Unknown:

quite a big network, over 10,000 people and it's growing. So I'm

Unknown:

happy to accept people who are listening to this podcast. And

Unknown:

I'm happy to respond to them if they have any questions.

Alan Carroll:

Wonderful. Well, thank you very much. It's been a

Alan Carroll:

wonderful opportunity and exciting to hear you speak and I

Alan Carroll:

look forward to having more conversations because you are a

Alan Carroll:

rich resource. So thank you very much.
