Work Life Balance Workshop                        

55 mins

In this engaging and informative workshop, Sarah shares her father’s powerful personal story on the long term effects of chronic stress and his reflections on what he would have done differently to cope during his working life as a busy executive. Bringing her own corporate experience and her wealth of knowledge in psychology, Sarah also banishes the myth that it’s about achieving equal balance and she provides participants with tested tips and strategies that they can use now to start creating a happier, healthier life.

Workshop outcomes:

This workshop is a great starting point for, or addition to, any workplace wellness programme. Participants will learn the new definition of work life balance, reflect on their own work life balance and identify current barriers. By the end they will have a personal list of actions they can take away to implement immediately.

This workshop helps organisations to gain a better understanding of the challenges employees face in achieving work life balance, which can assist in the planning of future wellness initiatives. It works well as a lunch-and-learn session for groups of up to 30 participants.

The Well Leader Workshop                        

90 mins

Wellness starts at the top of an organisation and leadership is crucial to embedding a culture that values health and wellness. In our experience, many organisations offer wellness initiatives but few have harnessed the full opportunity that a wellness culture can offer an organisation, from enhanced employee engagement and improved corporate social responsibility, to greater brand reputation and greater commercial opportunities.

This interactive workshop has been designed to challenge leaders to think about wellness from an organisational, leadership/team and personal perspective.

Drawing on research and real-world New Zealand and Australian examples, this presentation covers the:

• relationship between wellness and organisational strategy, and factors such as brand reputation, employee engagement and retention, and return on investment.
• capabilities and demands of a leader to develop and sustain an environment that supports a wellness culture, including being a role model and a gate keeper, reducing barriers and promoting the values of health and wellness.
• key areas of wellness relevant to those in a leadership role, including mental, physical and social health and the importance of nutrition, exercise, stress management and sleep.

Workshop outcomes:

This workshop may be the first step your organisation takes towards a wellness culture, or it could form part of an existing leadership programme bringing your leaders up-to-date information and advice on how to drive a happy, healthy culture.
