Mindfulness (Caxton 1997) is akin to ‘prescencing’ set out later by Senge et al (2000).

Would you wish to do a ‘mental toughness’ course? Odds are that most executives will say “no!”. However, in a trusted setting, what response will the same manager give you when discussing the following work-based issues: being calm in times of stress, being more disciplined about the focus of their attention, balancing the demands of apparently conflicting goal-demands, feeling comfortable and positive about feedback, mental adaptation to stay ‘high-performing’ when there are inherent frustrations and pitfalls designed into the procedural and political deficiences of all medium and large organisations.
