Change Your Breath Change Your Life Experience the amazing power of your breath to transform stress and tension and create more flow in your life. In these sessions we will use a simple breathing technique know as conscious connected breathing, this activates the nervous system and helps create new neural pathways in the brain. When we breathe in this pattern, we begin to enter into an altered state of consciousness which allows us to release stored emotions and trauma in both the physical and energetic body.  If your looking to release stress and create more space for joy, peace and love then these sessions are for you. Benefits of Conscious Connected Breathwork include: - Release Tension - Reduce Stress & Anxiety - Clear Emotional Blocks - Heal Trauma - Increased Energy - Better Sleep Why not join me for a session?

These sessions are a beautiful way to come together and experience the power of group healing where we all learn and grow from each others experiences. They offer the opportunity to delve deeper into our own inner worlds with the support and connection of others.  These are small group gatherings of up to 8 -10 people and no previous experience necessary.  If you have any of the conditions listed below, conscious connected breathwork is not suitable for you.

Change management, dealing with change.

Overview Overview This course is designed to develop skills and gain more knowledge of Change Management. For people who want to transform their skills and career and explore every opportunity, this course well suits their needs. It is very important to understand Change Management and adopt the changes within the organisation and work culture. It will be impossible to grow or even to improve ourselves without any changes. Changes happen to take place either in a positive nature or in negative nature. No matter how it happens to appear, we need skills to respond to the changes and respond accordingly.  We need to enhance our skills on a daily basis in this changing environment to handle what we encounter. It is observed that Change is very important for growth, diversity and success. Every business needs to go through the changing process to adapt the new things and walk with the new developments. Thus, as a professional, we also are in need to continually change to maintain and improve our competencies and skills and to achieve our targeted goals. We need to be extroverted with the environment to understand what is happening, where, when and what change needs to be brought. 

Managers at all levels have to be able to introduce, lead and manage change to ensure the organisational objectives of change are met.

Leading People through Change: In-House Training Research shows that 70% of change initiatives fail in large organizations. The largest factor contributing to this failure rate is leadership - the inability to plan and lead people through change. In many change situations, tremendous focus is put on strategy, processes, and systems, while the issue of changing people's behavior is assumed it will 'just happen'. In this interactive course, you will learn why the people side of change is crucial. We will begin by understanding why and how people resist change, and how important it is to become strong and effective change champions. Next, we will focus on critical change management practices - creating our vision of the future state, planning for acceptance in our change audience and stakeholders, mitigating threats, and capitalizing on opportunities. We will use metrics to plan, show progress, and confirm success. Lastly, we will focus on the need to reinforce and sustain change, and to prevent relapse to old ways and methods. What you will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Realize the nature of change and describe how resistance manifests in people Compare prevalent change models and categorize their similarities Identify and rate the skills, traits, and behaviors of effective change champions Envision the future state and assess stakeholders Plan for change communication, training, and risks Evaluate change effectiveness using feedback and metrics Develop reinforcement practices for benefits and communication Foundation Concepts What is Change? Resistance to Change Common Change Management Theories Becoming a Change Champion Plan Envisioning the future state Planning for people Change management plan Do Change communication Training Piloting Risks Study Feedback Metrics Variance analysis Act Benefits realization Change sustainment Reinforcement messaging and communications

A four-hour workshop on how to retain your talented Neurodiverse colleagues and ensure equality in employment opportunities.

Running a successful project requires skills in planning, budgeting, tracking deliverables and stakeholder management. An area that can be neglected by project managers is the 'people side' - not the project team themselves but the end-users, those who will be affected by the project. Too often there is a single line at the end of the project plan that says 'Comms and Training'. If people are going to have to work differently and learn some new processes, then there is work to be done by the project team to help them through the emotional side of the change. This session explores why it's important to bring people along when a change is being made. It will provide project teams with the skills and knowledge either to manage the people change plan themselves or to secure the right resources for their project.
