NEXT CHAPTER – REFOCUS

Our Wellbeing Programme

Refocus is a wellbeing programme for senior executives who may be suffering from stress and burnout or who are looking to avoid getting into that situation. We welcome participation either from individuals or senior teams who may want to commit to wellbeing together. This has enormous benefits for the whole organisation.

The programme starts with a three-day retreat to enable you to just stop, take stock of your life, assess how you became burnt out, if that’s the issue. We take a holistic approach to wellbeing, believing that it’s a combination of the physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual as we look for what gives you meaning and purpose.

We look at questions such as:

  • What does success mean for you and how can you build on what you have achieved?
  • Life in balance – where are you?
  • What are the stories you tell about your work, your family, your health and your happiness?

We believe that your wellbeing is your responsibility so over the course of the programme, we will help you build a plan to maintain your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, offering you expert advice on nutrition, exercise, sleep, managing stress, building resilience and how to be more productive using techniques such as meditation, breathwork and journaling, either on the retreat or on webinars.

The context…

There is much evidence to show that senior executives have been more adversely affected by the conditions brought about by the pandemic, especially those showing concern for the workforce.

The effects of the pandemic for example, stress and possible burnout have been gradual, and many senior executives expect to carry this sort of emotional load.

This is bound to lead to a falloff in performance as people are either unwell or not functioning at their best. This programme represents the opportunity to invest in yourself or your senior team for the sake of themselves, their families and the business.

The evidence…

We invite you to read our recent published White Paper – the context, the issues, the risks and the opportunities that present themselves are all explored.

Embarking on a programme of self-discovery, self-enrichment and self-fulfilled is not for the faint-hearted and it takes commitment and courage.

High achieving in every aspect of your life, you’re driven and determined.

You give your all to everything you commit to.

You care about those around you and you’re empathetic and fair.

You also know deep down the life you’ve got is precious and fragile.

We simply ask you this…

Can you sustain the life, work, home and achievement goals you’ve set yourself at the current rate and pace at which you work and live? There is no weakness in admitting things might need to change. Quite the reverse. You’re brave enough to recognise sustaining your success might well be the challenge you need to tackle.

But here is the beauty – you can sustain your success but in addition, you can heighten it further for the benefit of you, your team, your family and your friends.

Let us equip you in the how.
