We offer three 'mix and match' alternatives:
 We offer a flexible range of in-house and external corporate solutions, either on a by-project basis or on a retainer, such as with an EAP scheme. Our Team is broad-based and experienced in diverse fields that combine perfectly to bring out the best in your workplace. From our core of Stress Management, Work/Life Balance, Communication Skills and Personal Development, we go one step further to truly tackle your difficulties and build your new vision. These complementary areas include: Coaching for Business, Personal Retirement / Redundancy Strategy, Family Coaching, Professional Image Consultancy, Empowering Environment Design and Nutrition Consultancy. Our most frequent work encompasses:
- One-to-one, skills-based sessions with Senior Managers or other Key People who are 'burning out', struggling with Work/Life Balance, losing focus or generally finding it hard to stay healthy and effective.
- Groupwork in a wide variety of guises to suit your sector and approach, but including; short "lunch and learn" Stress Management Presentations; interactive, practical day Workshops; and inspirational, full training programmes in Handling Pressure, Work/Life Balance, Coaching At Work, etc.
- 'Extended Groupwork', to address the wider aspects of a key employee's pressure points by involving their Manager, spouse or family members, for example.
- Stress Audits, in particular the Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI). Our comprehensive service includes a preliminary introduction plan, our confidential implementation of the OSI across your business or within a team, 'scoring' the results and providing confidential individual feedback as well as a Corporate summary - and something that sets us apart from other approved OSI facilitators; for as long as you need us, we will continue to work alongside you once the Audit is complete, suggesting ways of addressing the indicated problem areas and even offering services such as staff Stress Counselling or Workplace Coaching.

Stress Management
Bach Flower Remedies (Introduction)
STRESS MANAGEMENT
Summary: Fun, practical and highly informative 1-day courses and day- or evening classes will show you powerful ways of applying Holistic Stress Management to your own life. You will learn more about what stress means to you, how to spot it and how you can turn it into a positive force at home or at work. To help to keep your life in balance, we will introduce some key 'building blocks' to allow you to manage everyday pressures - before they turn into Toxic Stress. Follow-on courses will build on this foundation, tailored to the specific needs of attendees.
