The world has changed, and employees face unprecedented rates of stress, anxiety, and burnout. Business suffers in this environment, but more important, your people suffer. Offering occasional sessions on mindfulness and meditation are helpful, but the most forward thinking and innovative companies are taking a different approach to bring greater humanity to work. They work with us to intentionally embed mindfulness into their culture. Why? Because it is the most effective tool for positive transformation. Our science backed mindfulness programs help employees develop systems that short circuit the length of time they experience negative thinking, self doubt, fear and stress. This positions them to thrive, and when they thrive, business thrives.

Our track record proves that we are uniquely positioned to help inspire your workforce, and boost your bottom line.
Welcome to Mindful Culture Creators! My name is Shawnta` Hooks, and my mission in life is to help people increase their capacity as leaders, innovators, and compassionate human beings. After 20 years of corporate experience, it dawned on me one day that I had never meditated at work, and I had never worked for a company that was intentional about helping their employees improve cognition and creative thinking by integrating mindfulness within corporate culture. This was puzzling because science was finally explaining the drastic improvements meditators experienced in relation to focus, agility, resilience, compassion, and strategic thinking.
In 2020, while working for Synchrony Bank, I started MCC during COVID as an internal grass roots movement to create space for employees to learn about the benefits of mindfulness in the workplace. I began giving talks, sharing my personal journey to mindfulness, as well as teaching and leading meditations at work. Pretty quickly, leaders from all over the globe were reaching out to me requesting workshops that used mindfulness techniques to address their unique business problems. The feedback was astounding, and MCC grew from 5 employees to 300 employees within months. Within six months of starting MCC, I'd spoken to thousands of employees, and their message was consistent - my workshops and monthly group sessions were finally helping them understand meditation because I was using the language they understood as data analysts, technologists, and business professionals. I've developed over a dozen workshops that use mindfulness techniques as a solution to solve complex problems - from impostor syndrome to racism.
I work with leaders who really care about the mental wellbeing of their teams, and are passionate about transforming the way we think. We spend so much time in a fear, and it stifles creative and cognitive thought. This limits the fulfillment of corporate strategy, and leads to an over stressed workforce. The world has changed tremendously since the global pandemic, forcing us all to embrace vulnerability and belonging. Developing a mindful culture enables transformational change from the inside, and this creates competitive advantages in the marketplace. Demystifying mindfulness, and combining these science based techniques with real business problems is my absolute favorite thing to do, and I am so excited to partner with you to help your employees finally see the unlimited potential that lives inside of them. Present moment, precious moment … change starts NOW!

"I am new to mindfulness, and within the past quarter, I make a concerted effort to attend each monthly session because I leave feeling better about myself, my family, my colleagues and life in general. I love that there are no egos here. No 'other agendas'. Just friends supporting each other through this time of separateness."
"Shawnta, I wanted to let you know that it was your words during your presentation on Mindfulness and facing your fears that seemed to hit a nerve. Your words were the inspiration that allowed me to lessen my fear of presenting and be brave. Again, Thank you!!"
"Mindful Culture Creators has given me life. Not only has it been encouraging to be amongst such a great group of people, it has also provided me tools to use to help me become a better me. Not only for myself but for my family, co-workers, and friends…Appreciative of the safe space and the constant words of encouragement."
"This program is phenomenal! Your story touched my soul! You are amazing and I would love to meditate with you one day. Even though there was 145+ people in the workshop, I felt like you were speaking directly to me. This has been a gift."
"Shawnta`, that was one of the BEST sessions I have EVER attended at work! Thank you! The guided meditation was so powerful!"
"This was such a powerful message, and your story touched my soul. Thank you for sharing this! #PresentMomentPreciousMoment"
