Seminars
Many of the following sessions are 2-week seminars, taught over two lunch breaks or after work slots. Mindfulness (#1) and Yoga (#5) are taught as a 6-week series. Read on for descriptions, and feel free to suggest topics if what you're looking for isn't listed below. To learn more or to schedule a session contact Sarah.
1. Seminar: Mindfulness for educators
While the work of educators can provide great professional satisfaction and meaning, it is often a juggling act of various needs and deadlines. This workshop introduces educators to mindfulness practices that can improve focus, clarity, resilience and creativity. Experience firsthand a combination of basic techniques, interactive discussion, and meditation exercises to help you engage with work in a fulfilling and sustainable way.
2. Seminar: Stress Resilience
The ability to deal with life's challenges is something we all benefit from cultivating. Like many other positive life traits, coping and resilience are skills that can be learned and honed -- with wide-ranging effects on the quality of our lives and the lives of those around us. In this workshop we delve into what's already going well, but we take the time to round out your ideas and tools so that you can be more self-aware as you figure out which things work best for you.
From this workshop you will:
- be better able to manage your energy and workload
- understand which areas to develop for your improved individual resilience
- have a competitive industry advantage though dealing with stressful circumstances better
3. Seminar: Embracing change
“It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be” — Paul Arden
There's a deep satisfaction in being great at what you do. Peak performance often necessitates ongoing organisational and individual changes, which sounds fine at the outset. However, leading this kind of change can often mean trying to convince others to see the world the way you do. This seminar discusses the best practices for leading change, developing your team, and communicating clearly for best results.
From this workshop you will:
- Explore some of the common issues that can arise when addressing organisational/cultural shifts.
- Develop the core competencies for embracing change.
- Help your team thrive in the process.
4. Seminar: Brilliant habits
For better or worse, our habits are the underlying architecture of our days. They streamline our decision-making process and automate our tasks. But there are times when a habit isn't serving you, or you're trying to get a new habit started -- such as exercising -- and it's hard to make it stick.
From this workshop you will:
- Understand the ways different people respond to inner expectations and outer expectations.
- Learn your tendencies, and regain control of your habits.
- Dig deeper into the "why" behind habits you want to implement.
5. Seminar: Happiness
Your happiness matters. People who are happy not only enjoy life more and have better relationships, they also tend to be more resilient, physically healthier, be more engaged and do better at work. We'll look at some of the clinically-proven techniques you can implement to increase your happiness immediately.
From this workshop you will:
- develop stronger relationships professionally and personally
- master the fundamentals of happy people
- deal with stressful circumstances better
6. Yoga
The most popular of all the courses. Participants leave each session feeling noticeably calmer, clearer, and focused. The practice also creates a great range of motion and refined coordination of joint movements. All levels including complete beginners are welcome. This series runs in 6-week sessions. There's also an option for corporate rates for multiple account access for access to the online yoga website that we provide. Email Sarah to ask about either option.
7. Private yoga
Private yoga tuition is also an option for those who would like to learn at a time that suits their schedules. Learn the basics or advance your practice. Develop your own practice to calm and quieten the mind. There's also an option for corporate rates for multiple account access to the online yoga website that we provide. Email Sarah to ask about either option.
