Managing Ourselves

Home


My strength training for the mind is incredibly powerful in serving your people to perform better and thrive at work.

The benefits of bringing mindfulness and meditation practices to your workplace are consistently reliable in improving people’s wellbeing, focus and resilience. Think of this training as wellness tools that can significantly develop your people’s skills in managing their minds and balance their mental health.

We find people also develop more self-awareness and emotional self-regulation, which means they’re more likely to have an appreciative and compassionate outlook towards their colleagues at work.

Experiencing meditation and mindfulness practices is a dynamic and embodied experience - relax your eyes and take a long deep breath right now - see what I mean? This uniquely experiential nature of our training has huge advantages in making the benefits for your people more powerful, enduring and sustained.

STRENGTH TRAINING FOR THE MIND

The quality of your attention and self-awareness directly affects the quality of your performance and relationships at work.

  • Research shows that the quality of people’s attention and self-awareness directly affects the quality of their performance and relationships at work. Engaging your people in one of our workshops or training courses is proven to equip them with the tools they need to notice when they’re on ‘autopilot’ as well as increase their level of focus and attention. Having people learn these practices can provide a significant step change in supporting your workforce to be more effective in managing negative thought and behaviour patterns, and develop more helpful responses to stress and feelings of anxiety – increasing overall levels of both wellbeing and performance across your organisation. Our training for the mind has been developed specifically for the workplace and also improves decision- making, emotional intelligence and inter-personal skills for people at all levels.

TRAINING FOR SENIOR LEADERS

Helping you see new and smart ways to use your strengths, attention and energy so that you can create more of the life you want.

  • I integrate learning and insights from mind strengthening practices to coach leaders and senior managers in seeing new and smart ways to use their strengths and energy so they can be more purposeful in leading with clarity, creativity and compassion in the service of others. I am skilled in encouraging leaders to explore ways in which they can be more intentional in developing their leadership approach so they lead with greater presence and impact. I help them to connect with their ability to build greater levels of self-awareness so they are more conscious of how their communications and interactions influence others.

Speaking

I regularly bring these areas of expertise together and share my knowledge as a university lecturer and public speaker.

  • I have lectured MPA/MBA students and leadership teams on “Leading Mindfully” and delivered Mindful Meditation taster sessions at Well-Being conferences and events. I speak with passion and authority drawing on academic theories of leadership, as well as neuroscience and coaching disciplines to engage the audience in new ways to perceive their thought processes and how they can use this insight to better manage themselves.

Deborah is a highly talented and inspirational teacher who is dedicated to achieving high results for her students. We highly recommend her Mindfulness Meditation training not only because her approach is clear and well structured, but also because she is authentic, insightful and adaptable. She succeeded in engaging everyone as she shared new wisdom, real experience and fresh approaches each week. Her passion for the training is genuine, leaving her students feeling that her input is heartfelt and uplifting. She has delivered great results for individuals and in turn the organisation. We are delighted to be continuing to work with her.
