The challenge
According to the Mental Health Foundation, 17 million working days are lost each year to poor mental health at a cost of £2.4 billion to the UK economy. In addition, stress inhibits productivity, creativity and decision making, meaning the impact of a high-stress culture on your business performance and bottom line can be profound.
We live in a fast-paced, uncertain and complex world, and haven't yet up-skilled our teams to be able to handle the pace of change. Managing stress is no longer the answer. We have to help employees understand why it plays out, so they can move beyond it and thrive in the new environment.
“Thanks for this really powerful session… we are looking forward to collaborating again!”
Anelia, Health & Wellbeing & Global Leadership Fellow, World Economic Forum, Davos
The solution
Each company is unique, and the culture, challenges and opportunities distinct. I therefore tailor my in-person or virtual training intervention to your business and a detailed consultation at the outset ensures we achieve your objectives.
Drawing upon my expertise in Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, this cutting-edge, interactive training will share the principles and thought patterns that underpin stress. Real-life workplace scenarios will then be used demonstrate how employees can move from a typical stress reaction to a proactive response in even the most high-pressure environments.
The insights, principles, and tools shared will deliver behaviour change far beyond what's possible through standard stress-management programmes. Copies of On Purpose, which deep-dives into mindfulness, can also be used to compliment the training and help your employees to embed the learning.
“I find these sessions so very engaging, which isn’t easy to achieve in a remote environment but you have been successful yet again!
I felt the session flowed amazingly well. I have received nothing but positive feedback, thank you!”
Natalie Morse, Executive Director, DDGI Limited

“The course gives you the tools to apply mindfulness on a daily basis. Steve can adjust the classes to the pace and will of the attendees, going from very basic concepts to more deep and theoretical thoughts, never losing touch with the people around him.
The classes were simple and easy to follow, yet enlightening. They will definitely have an impact on my daily life. Thank you!”
