About Me
Sean Tolram, Founder
I created My Trained Mind because I want to reinvent the workplace. Our brains are designed for a world that no longer exists, and outdated methods are causing harm to individuals and organisations. But it doesn’t have to be this way, and I’m here to help.
My experience
I’ve spent more than 25 years in the corporate world, and I’m still there, leading global teams and driving organisational change. During this time I’ve figured out how to build a successful career without sacrificing my own wellbeing. I now enjoy helping others to do the same.
- Mindfulness UK Certified mindfulness trainer

My thoughts
Check out this short clip where I speak about creating brain-friendly working environments and building organisations of the future.
My values
Be happy
When we're happy we feel motivated and energised, and we do our best work. Happiness is embedded in everything we do.
Be healthy
Good health is a foundation for a happy and successful life. We take care of ourselves so that we can be at our best at home and at work.
Be human
We are all wonderful, unique, imperfect human beings. We bring humanity to every interaction, and encourage others to do the same.
My suggestions
If you want to embed healthier working habits across your organisation, here are some key areas for you to consider. I’ve been there and done it at a global scale, so if you need help getting started, just let me know.
Demonstrate the evidence supporting mindfulness in the workplace and secure buy-in from key stakeholders. Show them how you can help them achieve their goals.
Define the path to success with an ambitious but achievable strategy which delivers a safe, scalable, sustainable approach.
It’s best to not give busy people more things to do. Seamlessly integrate mindfulness into existing processes and procedures to maximise uptake and ease of use.
A call centre team will have different needs to a legal team. Design every solution to meet the unique needs of your organisation, and the teams and people within it. This is far more effective than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Give leaders the knowledge and confidence to drive culture change and create a people-focused organisation.
Impactful comms to promote the benefits to employees and offer them easy, accessible ways to get started.
As the old saying goes, “What gets measured gets managed”. Track the impact of all activities, using this to continuously strengthen the business case.
