Be at your best through BodyMind Training & Facilitation
Continuous improvement is probably a familiar theme for your organisation where you are looking for ways to improve processes and practices to achieve outcomes. In the private sector this might be increasing your productivity and profitability; and in the public or third sector this might be reducing costs and enhancing service delivery. However, in my experience, any kind of organisational change dependes, to a large degree, in supporting and enabling sustainable behaviour change in individual employees.
The ever-present challenge in this is to balance the needs of your organisation with your duty of care to your staff; creating the conditions to motivate and support them to be at their best so collectively you fulfil the organisation’s mission. There can, however, be a sizeable gap between the operational aims and objectives and what employees actually do. A gap which can be exacerbated by inconsistent messaging from senior leaders who don’t behave in ways they’re asking their staff to behave. This, in turn, creates a culture that actually drives “the way we do things round here”. If you are not paying sufficient attention, this will unintentionally hijack your operational aims and negatively impact your organisation’s success.
If this is something that resonates with you then I can help. My expertise and interest lie in the areas of embodied personal behaviour change, wellbeing and mental health as a route to organisations being at their best. My approach has been developed over the last 20 years from practical experience backed up by research and proven strategies from the interdisciplinary field of interpersonal neurobiology and somatics.
The heart of my work is about conversations, relationships and engagement. Any behaviour change involves our emotional and physical self as well as our intellectual self – collectively they deliver integrated sustainable embodied change. My approach focusses on optimizing the interconnection between our body and mind at the individual level to maximise engagement and contribution at the systems, or organisational, level.
In supporting you to think about both the individual parts as well as the whole system within which you are operating it becomes possible for you to:
- Identify how feeling and thinking patterns, beliefs and values influence behaviour and the outcomes you get
- Distinguish between the parts of that system you can control from those that you cannot
- Understand and take ownership of what needs to be done to ensure that the desired behaviour change becomes sustainable over time.
If you are asking yourself what changes you or your staff could make so that you are working at your best more of the time, then please get in touch with me for a free, no obligation conversation about how I can help you and your organisation be at its best.
I offer a range of services including:
- Off-the-Shelf Programmes – a range of ½ day, 1 or 2 day programmes. See below for further information.
- Bespoke Programmes – these are tailored to your organisational needs and can be either just training or a combination of training and reflective practice.
- Reflective Practice Circles which can be delivered either 1:1 or with small groups.
My off-the-shelf programmes are typically ½ day or 1 day in length; and they can all be adapted to suit your bespoke needs.
I would love to work with you, and I want to be sure I deliver what you need so please contact me using the form below if you’d like a free no obligation exploratory conversation, a quotation for a bespoke programme or to book me to deliver an off-the-shelf programme. I typically charge by the day, half-day or by the hour for preparation, delivery and follow-up work. Additional expenses such as travel, refreshments, room hire etc are charged at cost.
My programmes are typically experiential and embodied, and my experience suggests they are more effective when delivered face-to-face. Delivery can be on your premises or at an external venue if being off-site is helpful.
