Dipanshu Sharma Weighs in On Having a Healthy Remote Work Life and Thriving in Any Work EnvironmentGoogle recently released results from a multi-year study that show how to build an awesome remote work team. Since 46% of companies have virtual teams, it's important to be able to establish a remote culture that supports and encourages collaboration and teamwork, even when it is not face-to-face.One finding from the study was that it's crucial to get to know your colleagues as people. Building connections and having conversations about things other than work is foundational for happiness and productivity in a remote workplace, according to corporate wellness expert Dipanshu Sharma.Another recommendation is to set boundaries by speaking with co-workers about when they prefer to take meetings and have communication. Having a work-life balance is key, said Dipanshu Sharma, and with remote work the temptation can be to get things done throughout the day without set hours. However, with co-workers in different time zones, set boundaries about the times you can take meetings and make it clear when you start and end your work day.…

AI or machine learning, as exemplified at IBM, is technology that learns as it goes, specifically by ingesting and crunching lots of data. Computer systems like these learn on their own, without human intervention. IBM chief executive Ginni Rometty said the company sees a huge opportunity-$2 trillion worth-in this market over the next decade.Another famous AI investor Dr. Kai Fu Lee in his latest book AI Superpowers, outlines how millions of suddenly displaced workers must find new ways to make their lives meaningful, and how government policies will have to deal with the unprecedented inequality between the "haves" and the "have-nots."

The Positive Contributions of Meditation at Work, as Told by Dipanshu Sharma, and Why to Implement Regular MeditationWhen it comes to meditation, many people think of a practice that must be done alone, in total silence, at the most tranquil and calm point in the day, said Dipanshu Sharma, founder and CEO of Meditation.Live. However, meditation in the workplace can be done in groups and may have more benefits and a positive contribution to individuals, work culture and productivity. Here are five reasons you should consider implementing yoga in your place of work.1. Meditation decreases stress and anxiety in the workplace40% of working americans suffer Loneliness, Stress and Depression. A literature review conducted in 2014 assessed 47 mindfulness meditation trials that involved around 3,515 participants. The review concluded that meditation is a useful tool that helps relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression. And not only do meditators feel less stressed, their levels of the "stress hormone" cortisol decrease measurably.Stress has been linked to a wide range of medical problems, including hypertension, heart disease, substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. A study done at Stanford University School of Medicine shows that those who practice mindfulness meditation display a reduction in stress-related symptoms, and report increases in their sense of control in their lives. For instance, mindfulness meditation can produce a 30% reduction in symptoms of stress among those with a serious illness.Whether there are conflicts with coworkers or pressing deadlines, stress is not beneficial to a work environment. Stress is also linked to many health problems, including heart disease, depression and hypertension. By employing meditation techniques, employees will have clearer minds and be able to think more freely and creatively, making more positive contributions at work, said Dipanshu Sharma.…

A few schools in the United States have also implemented mindfulness classes and activities, as many people are starting to recognize the benefits forming the habit can have on youth, said Dipanshu Sharma, the founder and CEO of meditation.live."Teaching mindfulness to young people addresses negative behavior before it happens rather than after," Dipanshu Sharma said. "It begins to teach thoughtfulness, calmness and de-stressing practices so it's less likely for distracting behavioral issues to crop up as often in the classroom."Meditation is not just for adults, Dipanshu Sharma said, and not just adults face stress and anxiety. More than ever, children suffer from mental health problems and become stressed, causing them to act out or even become aggressive. Meditation, taught at a simple level that kids can understand, instills in them a habit that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.…
