PERFORMANCE, ENERGY, CORPORATE HEALTH
Women, Work and Performance
For women, the way we are working isn’t quite working. In reality ‘having it all’ as we have come to know it, is utterly exhausting. We have prided ourselves in our capacity to do it all; raise a family, build a thriving career, maintain relationships and stay on top of it all. The reality is that something always gets sacrificed. It is neither work nor the children but rather ourselves. The question always asked is Can we do it all? We should be asking another type of question entirely; How can we possibly do it differently?
Stress, Exhaustion, Poor Performance
If there is one quality that we seek for our organisations, and ourselves it is a sustained high performance in the face of ever-increasing stress and rapid change. One global study of 90,000 employees across 18 countries reveals that only one of every five employees feels energised and engaged at work. Over 70% of us feel stressed- out, depleted and fatigued. In excess of a hundred studies have corroborated these findings affecting business performance. So where have we gone so wrong?

Recharge for Peak Performance
Your performance in the workplace depends on your personal drive, your focus and determination, your pursuit of excellence, as well as your physical health. It also depends on the level of support and collaboration. With an unrelenting pace and demanding schedule, your energy levels drop and your stress levels may soar. You may become depleted and your performance at a physical and mental level deteriorates. Without a system in place to recharge your physical and mental strength you are also at risk of becoming ill. This presentation will address ways to overcome enormous fatigue and exhaustion by managing your stress and an approach to reclaim your personal power, passion and purpose.
Awake @ Work
Reclaiming energy and achieving balance in the midst of work chaos.
In the midst of work and life strain it is possible to implement a personal action plan that enhances energy, arrests stress and assists your body and mind to maintain equilibrium and wellbeing. Our physical and mental energy becomes depleted by stress, anxiety and low mood. Using some of the techniques of resilience training, mindfulness and recharging your healthy pathways you can activate and upscale your energy levels and mental stamina. It also focuses on personal empowerment and the value of a collaborative supportive work environment.
Are you living with a time bomb?
Every year heart attack, stroke & cardiovascular complications claim the lives of millions of people. The incidence is even higher in highly ambitious, successful, hurried and stressed individuals.= Yet, contrary to popular belief, the risk of suffering this fate is preventable, largely due to understanding and altering our lifestyle triggers especially among high-risk individuals. Do you know your risk profile? And what are you doing about it? Over and above these risk factors, are your lifestyle habits accelerating this process?
