Bringing calmness into your life: team members’ well-being and good mental health are key to a high performing workforce. However, the reality is that many people at work today experience feelings of being overwhelmed, not able to get through their ‘today’s task list’ and worried about keeping on top of everything. Individuals can become anxious Sunday evening as they think about the return to work on Monday.
If you cannot run harder you need to run smarter.
When you finally address the need for ‘calmness’ in your life, you realise that making time for silence is essential to your well-being.
For example, having driven 1.5 hours to work on fast and busy roads I pause for just a couple of minutes in my car before I go into the office. My team is always surprised at how cheery and energised I am.

The quality of your thinking returns and your productivity and creativity soar.
Need help to cope with life’s challenges? You may need some on-going practices to help you with life which develops your insight into yourself and your behaviours plus boost your personal calmness. Beyond being successful at work, these practices can help you to feel more alive, happy and healthy in your life. Do you need some help with achieving this?

Motivated teams are productive and achieve great things.
Following and realising your passion is key to your own well-being. Success in following your passion often comes from focus.
Businesses that thrive are ones with employees that are equipped to lead themselves. Today’s rapid technological change and uncertain economy requires this. Such a mindset not only creates greater satisfaction for individuals, but benefits the organisation’s customer satisfaction, competitiveness and productivity.
Everyone is accountable for leading themselves. It is a mindset rather than a position.
Having successfully led myself in roles from payroll team lead to Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Change Director whilst juggling being a mother of five; I understand how challenging life can be and how mindset can be pivotal to success.
