MANAGING OVERWHELM: TAKING BACK CONTROL

Understand overwhelm & learn how to use it to your advantage 

Feeling overwhelmed is our brain's way of telling us that there is too much to cope with and that something needs to change. We often notice when we are feeling overwhelmed but the tricky bit is knowing what to do about it. You will learn how being overwhelmed can actually be a good thing and you will take away practical things to help you manage in the moment and reduce your stress levels.

BEING IN THE MOMENT

Learn how to manage emotional reactions in difficult moments.

Sometimes when we’re challenged by others, we can panic, stumble over our words, and find it difficult to recover. If these moments happen often enough, our self-confidence and performance can end up being even more deeply impacted, and we can even question our own capabilities.

AWAKENING PASSION IN YOUR ROLE

TRIGGERING FLOW

Research has unearthed how anyone can access flow.

ENGAGING MINDS THROUGH CLEAR COMMUNICATION

WHY HONEST PEOPLE CHOOSE TO CHEAT

Ethics isn't just about rules, but how people respond to them.

Most ethics training focuses on compliance: rules, whistleblowing and responding to ethical breaches. To really improve ethical culture, we also need to understand the behavioural science and psychology of people - so, what makes good people behave dishonestly?

MAKING WORK CONFLICT PRODUCTIVE

Learn how to embrace conflict in a productive and constructive way.

Conflict is often looked upon as something to be avoided, but in doing so, we suppress thoughts and may miss out on critical input. Embracing conflict in a constructive manner can enable better discussion, foster inclusivity, and produce much greater results.
