Wellness and Self-Care – Sample Trainings

We are constantly bombarded by change – in the world, across the country, in our jobs, and in our daily lives – yet change is a process that can be managed. Participants will learn how to overcome barriers and successfully navigate through any change they face.
Preventing Burnout
In a demanding work environment, employees must possess excellent self-care skills. Participants will learn powerful, innovative ways to clear the mind, reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and relax and rejuvenate the body.
Creating Productive Work Environments
Our surroundings play a critical role in our well-being. In fact, our environment actually has a physiological, psychological, and emotional impact on us. By implementing simple yet powerful design principles, participants will learn efficient and effective tips to clear clutter, reduce chaos, and maximize productivity.
Managing the Impact of Stress
Emotions have a powerful impact on our effectiveness and productivity. Participants will learn how their bodies and minds react to stressful or traumatic situations. They will learn to identify their automatic responses to stress, apply specific strategies to regulate emotions, and use proven techniques to enable clear decision-making and effective communication.
Optimizing Physical Health
Good physical health allows us to function at our best. Participants will learn how food, exercise, stretching, and other self-care skills can help to replenish, balance, and strengthen the physical body and increase energy throughout the day.
Using Movement for Self-Care
Work-related challenges can make us feel depleted, anxious and uninspired. Participants will learn simple movement exercises that will increase alertness, maintain energy throughout the day, and help them cope more effectively in stressful situations.
Increasing Focus and Energy
Abundant energy is fundamental to productivity, effectiveness, and optimal health. Participants will learn easy, powerful techniques that will dramatically increase energy, improve mental focus, and melt away stress and fatigue. They will experience new levels of energy and a heightened sense of well-being.
Imagery and Imagination
Imagery is a powerful tool in our lives and especially effective for self-care and wellness. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the mind-body connection and how imagery techniques support individual life goals. This increased understanding assists in recognizing personal insights, releasing pain and stress, and promoting good health. They will also learn several easy-to-use techniques.
Communication and Teamwork – Sample Trainings
Effective Communication
Active listening and speaking purposefully with clear intent are critical skills for interacting successfully with others. By attending to the speaker and reserving judgment, we increase our ability to understand what is being communicated. Speaking with clear intention and matching the message to the audience also ensures greater understanding. When effective listening and speaking skills are combined, business relationships and work efforts are smoother, stress is reduced, productivity and satisfaction are increased, and goals are more quickly achieved.
Managing Conflict
When people have different viewpoints, conflict can occur. Effective conflict resolution requires the ability to accurately assess the situation and create mutually acceptable solutions for all involved parties. When conflict is successfully resolved, it can actually be healthy and productive because increased communication and understanding occurs. In this session, participants will learn specific conflict management skills to resolve a current conflict and also understand ways to minimize future conflicts.
Delivering Bad News Gracefully
We all encounter situations in which we must communicate difficult messages. In this training session, participants with learn and practice skills to deliver challenging information effectively – greatly reducing the discomfort and anxiety that is often associated with the process.
Teamwork
Research shows that teamwork can increase performance levels and bottom-line results. Yet, most people lack the skills necessary to work effectively in a group. In this session, participants will learn how to clarify roles and responsibilities, build on individual strengths, and focus on common goals to achieve “break-through” performance.
