Workshops for Organisations and Businesses
I genuinely care about workplace wellbeing. I know no one has it easy - having worked both in underfunded and understaffed public services and super-competitive startups.
I offer bespoke workshops to help organisations or businesses take care of their people. I can design workshops ranging from 1 hour to several full days, on mindfulness more generally, or to use it to tackle a more specific issue.
No more stuffy seminars and awkward team-building exercises.
I worked in public health services with too much work and too few people to do it, with computers that take half an hour to start, and offices that haven’t been refurbished since the 90s.
I also worked in an up-and-coming startup and moved with the whole team to California for 3 months to participate in the world’s leading startup accelerator - Y Combinator. We lived together and worked six days per week with ever-changing deadlines and priorities, to present the best version of the product to investors.
So, I know what pressures organisations, businesses, and entrepreneurs face not only to keep to keep afloat, but to keep improving and progressing.
For organisations or businesses who want to take care of their people by using mindfulness, I can design workshops:
One-off, series, or regular sessions
1 hour at a time to several days
To introduce mindfulness or cultivate a practice that can support wellbeing at work, or to tackle a more specific issue such as a big change or deadline coming up, people not speaking up about their needs, and so on
Highlights
I spent some time with the Ernst&Young mindfulness champions
On a lovely summer afternoon, I made my way to the London EY offices to guide the mindfulness champions into a practice and provide an opportunity for them to connect with each other in person.
During the lunch that they kindly invited me to thereafter, we thought about what it was like to be practising mindfulness in a room with glass walls while others were running around - and how needed and refreshing it was. People left with their own intentions to pause, breathe, slow down, even in the midst of tricky presentations and looming deadlines.
