Fatigue journeys vary from person to person - no two experiences are the same. But there's one challenging topic that seems to feature in most people's journeys at one time or another... communication! In this webinar recording I share tips and advice on how to tackle five of the most common conversation challenges when you're on a fatigue recovery journey. How this webinar will help you There are many reasons why conversations with others can be challenging when you've got fatigue - the key one being that fatigue challenges seem to be very difficult to understand (or even believe) if you haven't been through one yourself. And this really doesn't help when it comes to interacting with others - whether that be your loved ones, colleagues, or those you've only just met. I've helped countless people figure out how to communicate with those around them, in ways that don't negatively impact their health - while keeping both parties feeling as positive about the interaction as possible. This has given me a clear view of the most common challenges people face, and the solutions that tend to work best. And that's what I share with you in this recording of a webinar held recently. Of course, conversations are contextual and every single one is unique. But the tips and suggestions I share here can be tailored and customised to many different situations. I can't commit to running this as a live event terribly often, so I recorded the last time I ran it - and now offer it to you to purchase on demand. Meaning you can access this help straight away! Contents A quick introduction!

A recording of a live webinar held in November 2023. I share the most important areas that you should be focussing on, so that you minimise the time spent wondering what on earth you can do to improve your fatigue challenge and current situation - and get onto the right path to recovery.How this webinar will help you I've helped hundreds of people to navigate this element of their recovery journey and I've used this experience to share in this webinar the most successful ways to plan for, and introduce, movement and exercise. What this webinar covers As a Fatigue Coach, over the past five years I’ve helped hundreds of people improve how they’re living with fatigue, and guided them to an improved place - often helping them to achieve a full recovery. I want to share the most important areas that you should be focussing on, so that you minimise the time spent wondering what on earth you can do to improve your situation. This webinar is primarily for those who are in the first 6 months of tackling a fatigue-related health challenge, or those who have been dealing with it for longer than that but haven’t yet received any helpful advice. There are different severities of fatigue and the help I cover will be of most benefit to those who are struggling enough that they perhaps can’t work or socialise, but who do have some level of activity. For example, able to get up and dressed most days and prepare their own meals on a good day, but have to give lots of planned thought to anything that involves having to leave the house. In this webinar I share my top pieces of guidance around the most helpful things you can do to cope better with this challenging illness. This includes: - top tips to start managing your energy levels properly (pacing) - how to manage the difficult emotions that come with this health challenge - how to rest - communicating with those who don’t understand what you’re going through. The webinar recording is approximately an hour long. Contents The main webinar video1448450061.mp4 (1h 03m 26s) 165 MB A copy of the slides I presented How to cope better with fatigue.pdf 1.38 MB
If you’ve had to take time off from your job for months or even years, contemplating a return to work can be difficult. How do you know if you’re ready? Are you well enough to return full-time or do you need to negotiate a phased approach? And what can you do to make sure the return itself goes as successfully as possible? This webinar starts to answer those questions - and many more! Content If you’ve had to take time off from your job for months or even years, contemplating a return to work can be difficult. How do you know if you’re ready? Are you well enough to return full-time or do you need to negotiate a phased approach? And what can you do to make sure the return itself goes as successfully as possible? I’ve helped many people in your situation find the right way to tackle their return to work, guiding them as they gauged if they were ready - and then advising them as to the best way to start approaching things with their employer. I very much enjoy helping my clients with this stage of their recovery journey, as it means things are going really well for them!I share so much value in this session! I've taken my experience of helping many, many people navigate this milestone and turned my best advice into a single session for you to benefit from.The event itself was a live webinar held in July 2023. This is your chance to purchase the recording of the webinar itself (1 hour)) and a written capture of the Q&A sessions held afterwards. My full client schedule means I won't be running this as a live event again for a while, so this is your chance to purchase it 'on demand' and benefit from the help I give at the time you need it (now!).Topics coveredHaving helped so many people, I’ve seen how successfully things go when certain elements are carefully thought through and put into place, and I share my Top Five pieces of advice with you at this live webinar. I talk about: How to know if/when you’re ready to start seriously considering a return to work Questions to ask yourself if you think you need to consider a change of career How to broach the topic of a phased return with your employer My experience of how Occupational Health (or similar functions) can help or hinder - and how to make sure it’s the former! Things to consider and address up-front to ensure your first couple of weeks go as well as they can. I also share some smart actions that you can put in place way before you're even contemplating going back to work, in order to smooth the way for a successful return when you're ready. So please don't think this webinar won't be useful to you if you know you've got a way to go yet. Not only will you be able to put these smart early actions in place, you'll also have a much clearer idea about how you'll manage your return when you're ready - helping you feel more confident and reduce any concerns sneaking in. You'll be able to relax knowing you'll be able to tackle things properly when the time's right.Please note that although the guidance and tips I give are not restricted to those who have office-based jobs, many of the examples I use are linked to office-based scenarios. This is because it's usually the case that the majority of attendees are indeed office-based (or similar). Please be assured that the majority of the tips I give can be refined and tailored to returning to any type of job.Although best known for the help I give to those experiencing extreme fatigue conditions such as ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and long covid, this session is relevant to anyone contemplating a return to work after an extended period of sick leave. Especially if you feel you'll need to negotiate a phased return. For example, after being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, recovering from a major operation, or perhaps having completed a successful programme of cancer treatment.Please don't assume that the low price of this product in any way reflects a lack of valuable content. I could have priced it much higher, but I'm keen to help as many people as possible navigate this important milestone.
We hear how helpful it is to exercise regularly for health and wellbeing. But when you have fatigue it can be difficult to know if this is going to help or hinder. And suspecting it could be the latter, then when is it the right time to start to feel confident about moving more...and gradually starting to exercise? How this webinar will help you I've helped hundreds of people to navigate this element of their recovery journey and I've used this experience to share in this webinar the most successful ways to plan for, and introduce, movement and exercise. Who is this webinar for? Anyone who thinks they might be nearing a stage where exercise could well be possible again and are keen to ensure it goes well! Whether the goal be to walk, swim, cycle etc. Please note: This event isn't about how to re-condition and move from severe fatigue to achieving some level of activity. That requires careful 1:1 guidance via my coaching service. This webinar is for those who have a base level of activity but want to be smart about where to build from there. My help is relevant to anyone tackling a fatigue recovery journey - whether that be due to ME/CFS, Long Covid etc, or perhaps post-operative recovery. Basically, anyone who has - or has had - an energy-related issue that's meant they have to be very careful about what they commit to doing each day. What topics do you cover? How to spot when you're doing well enough to start thinking about exercising again How to feel confident about starting to do more The types of exercise that seem to go well at first Guidance and tips about HOW to start incorporating exercising into your recovery plan This is a recording of a live webinar that I held a short time ago. After the main presentation we held a Q&A session, and by purchasing this recording you'll also have access to a written capture of the questions asked, and my responses.

A fatigue-related condition doesn’t only impact the life of the person who's ill, it often changes things for you, their loved ones. Adjusting to this can be tough for you, and it can be difficult to know how to best help them.This webinar will increase your understanding of what life feels like for your loved one, and help you know how to support them on their recovery journey, while looking after yourself too. Why can this help me? The person you love and care for is still there, they just can’t live the life they used to be able to live - not for now, anyway. It’s very possible for them to achieve improvements and even full recovery, but it takes time, patience and a lot of adjustment. One of the most important things someone with extreme fatigue must do is reprioritise what they use their valuable energy on. They have to make sensible decisions around what they should do every single day, and that’s bound to impact you too. They might also experience emotional ups and downs that you’re not used to them displaying. Adjusting to this can be tough for those of you who are supporting them, as can knowing how you can best help them. This webinar will help you process how this is affecting your life too, and give you guidance around how to best support your loved one on their recovery journey, while looking after yourself too.
