Relaxation Vacation
Stress Less:
Finding peace
in everyday life
This seminar will help your employees to reduce the negative effects of stress and capitalize on its “hidden” benefits. Participants will become aware of why and how they experience stress, as well as the ways in which it has hindered or advanced their progress. They will learn the leading mind-body techniques to reduce and prevent damaging symptoms associated with prolonged stress responses. With a new perspective on their stress and a handful of tools to manage it, participants will be primed to navigate life's challenges with ease.
Happiness: A recipe
More than an emotion, happiness is a skill that can be learned. Drawing from the latest research in the field of positive psychology, participants will discover the essential “ingredients” of happiness. They will de-bunk deeply-rooted happiness myths and formulate new, empowering definitions. Employees will learn how to change their perspectives on people and events, and how to take back ownership of their emotions. “Happiness: A Recipe” will help participants to utilize their character strengths, develop gratitude, find meaning, and gain resiliency. From “Scrooge” to “Pollyanna,” this workshop is sure to please all!
Productivity:
Busters and boosters
"It's not just the number of hours we sit at a desk that determines the value we generate. It's the energy we bring to the hours we work," states Tony Schwartz, CEO of the Energy Project. Stress, burn-out, and competing commitments can have employees feeling "stuck" or at best, spinning their wheels. In this seminar, participants will identify the factors that impede productivity and learn to avoid common traps. They will take home valuable time management, goal-setting, and support-building skills. Highlighting the art and science behind habit-forming, this session promises to help employees focus, follow-through, and achieve.
What Matters Most:
Living your
value-driven life
Brain Food: Eating to think and feel your best
The foods we chose to eat drive how we feel and think every day. Participants in this workshop will learn which foods to include in their diet in order to enhance emotional wellness, combat stress, and optimize mental performance. Employees will gain insight into the harmful effects of stress on nutrition and the many ways in which negative mood states lead to poor food choices. A list of foods to avoid will include "food traps" and "energy saps." This workshop will help employees to establish nutritional balance with well-rounded meals that will enable them to feel and perform their best.
Life Balance: A Place for Everything
What matters most to you? Do your actions reflect what is most important to you? Addressing these and other critical questions, this workshop is designed to help participants align their daily actions with their priorities. Three practical tools are used to increase self-awareness and set participants on the path to living a more meaningful life. A wake-up call for most, this workshop will help employees feel more fulfilled and positive about the choices they are making moving forward.
It is typical to forego the most vital elements of our lives when we are under stress or over-extended. Managing family, work, and other commitments is challenging for most employees. This workshop covers five essential elements of life-balance: exercise, nutrition, sleep, relationships and re-creation. Help your employees achieve a sense of balance and watch their happiness and productivity soar!
Mindfulness:
Awaken your mind
Research abounds with the benefits of Mindfulness--a highly effective, evidence-based tool for bringing oneself to the present moment. In our fast-paced, multi-tasking world, we are pulled in many directions, and rarely are we truly present. Being mindful helps to let go of unwanted thoughts and feelings and start anew with clarity and openness. Regular, brief periods of practice increase focus, creativity, productivity, relaxation, and emotional wellbeing. Participants will hear what science is saying about Mindfulness and then learn how to incorporate it into their daily lives.
Mind-Body Toolkit: Practical Tools for Achieving Total Wellness
A little bit of each of the workshops, this is a conglomerate of "best practices" to achieve mind-body wellness. The workshop will cover tried-and-true stress reduction techniques, mindfulness, self-care practices, and values. Participants will leave with practical tool-kits for their personal mind-body transformations.
