Ever felt like a fraud at work? You’re not alone and it’s more common than you think. Over 70% of people have experienced the feeling of being a fake at one time in their life. Take these quotes for example
You think, “Why would anyone want to see me again in a movie? And I don’t know how to act anyway, so why am I doing this?
– Meryl Streep
The philosopher Bertrand Russell wrote:
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts
The vast array of problems we face as human beings require the best people to step up. But many hold back because they feel that luck, rather than ability, lies behind their successes. They dread that one day, some person or event will expose them for the fraud that deep down they believe themselves to be. Far from being a realistic self-assessment, the impostor syndrome mind-trap prevents people from believing in themselves, to the detriment of us all.
When I was younger, I just did it. I just acted. It was just there. So now when I receive recognition for my acting, I feel incredibly uncomfortable. I tend to turn in on myself. I feel like an impostor. It was just something I did.
– Emma Watson
Ever felt like a fraud? Had that nagging feeling that you’ll be found out, or are you waiting to feel more confident before you realise your plans or your goals? In this interactive session, delivered as 1.5 hour workshop (and can also be run for a longer durations if required), we’ll dive into uncovering the keys to confidence and overcoming imposter syndrome. You will uncover what drives you, learn how to identify, challenge and replace unhelpful limiting thoughts and beliefs and be introduced to the concept of imposter syndrome. You’ll come away with new strategies, tools and an action plan and uncover an altogether more confident you.
In a 1.5 hour session we’ll cover:
When I won the Oscar, I thought it was a fluke. I thought everybody would find out, and they’d take it back. They’d come to my house, knocking on the door, “Excuse me, we meant to give that to someone else. That was going to Meryl Streep” – Jodie Foster

Our body is the most immediate tool we have. Working on our bodies not only enables us to become more efficient, but surprisingly, it also teaches us how to have more fun on a daily basis. This, in turn, increases our personal impact on those around us. In this workshop, which ideally runs for 4 hours, but we can reduce down to 2 or 3 hours if time is short, we’ll share simple, powerful and widely proven routines taken from years of working with top-performing artists, to tap into an ideal peak performative state of mind, at will.
• Less judgment + full commitment = your full potential is released
• Habits disappear in order to leave space for efficacy and immediacy
• Games are very serious things. Games push us to do our best and have fun at the same time
Have you ever wondered why dancers and rock stars possess a special charisma? That special something that attracts everyone’s attention? How they perform at their peak every night? And why they have an amazing presence and vitality?
For many years Jorge has worked with dance personalities such as Carlos Acosta and music legend Paul McCartney, amongst others. Now, for the first time, we’re sharing the secret of their vitality to other professionals, who’s careers demand a high level of physical and mental performance.
This workshop combines the energy of high-performing movement with the creativity of performing arts. By capturing the spontaneity and the immense concentration of being in the moment, you’ll be pushed into an enhanced presence of mind.
Day Schedule (4 hours, but can be adjusted to suit your schedule)
Arrival and refreshments (15 mins)
o Welcome and introduction
o Mind/Brain Warm up. Gentle physical tune up.
o Demystification of the act of performing: embodying presence
Break and refreshments (15 mins)
o Games are a serious thing: throwing and catching bottles
o Problem solving in real time: it gets complicated
o The Jackie Chan effect. Switching on and off
Break and refreshments (15 mins)
o Transference to daily life: case study
o Last exercise: the secret of peak performance
o Questions and optional follow up
This workshop is not about teaching dance. It’s about teaching real people with real problems how to embrace life and enjoy every scenario that’s thrown at them. You’ll be amazed at the results.
For four weeks following the initial group session, participants will be given a daily task to implement from what they have experienced during the workshop and incorporate it into their daily life and routines. These tasks will be provided through WhatsApp or email, along with access to a collection of continuing resources.
“Game changer”
“I feel physically activated, mentally focus and ready to fight the right battles”
“Through this experience, I learned the power of motivating and reinvigorating a tired body and I found a new strength for my daily routines”
“The body is great, and so is the mind – it was a liberation!! Thank you so much.”
“No matter the hours of sleep I have one day or no matter how tired I am, the exercises help me to stay focused and fully involved in what I am doing”
“I explored these aspects in very concrete terms and I came to realise that performance has nothing to do with magic, but rather it can be trained and enhanced. “
“It is rare to find classes like yours and more rare to find people like you to inspire other people”
What are the psychological dynamics around the game of power? What is it to be “truly aligned” – in the meditative sense of the term – to one’s objective?

Re-Wild Yourself is an interactive and life-affirming journey with health coach Nick Michell on the importance of reconnecting with the natural environment on a daily basis and the profound positive effects it can have on our mind, body and relationships with those who surround us.
This workshop is beneficial to all, especially those who have limited daily exposure to nature due to prolonged periods of time working indoors or those focusing on a computer screen for the majority of the day.
Nick will show you how the environment plays a vital role in personal wellbeing, and by making small adjustments in our daily life, how we can gain substantial improvements to our overall health. He’ll also show you how to reawaken your senses and bring clarity through mindful engagement with nature, as well as learning how to build a deeper relationship with your body through physical movement and play.
These simple, easy to follow practices, can help bring about profound changes in your overall health and wellbeing.
The best predictor of your future happiness is your willingness to choose happiness now” Happiness Research
This masterclass is designed for women who are interested in discovering real happiness in the present and how to maintain it in the future in an authentic and sustainable way.
Women often prioritise the needs of others over their own and this can have a significant impact on their levels of happiness, both in, as well as outside the workplace. This can lead to resentment, greater sensitivity to stress and feeling more vulnerable to depression, if left unchecked.
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes” Hugh Downs
Do you want to feel happier? The good news is that you can. Whether you have been feeling sad, down or depressed you can learn how to feel happier because happiness levels are not fixed. Happiness is not a matter of luck or status, it is created by certain ways of thinking and behaving. We will explore the blocks and myths of happiness, how to overcome unhappiness and cultivate habits and tools that help you to feel good and happier in the now and future. In this interactive session, which can be delivered in anything from 1- or 2 hour masterclass to half a day or whole day workshop, you will come away with a fresh perspective and new skills to experience greater joy in both your personal and professional life.
The less we acknowledge our own true beauty – the more we will adorn ourselves with more and more stuff that still won’t make us feel good” Robert Holden

Dr Carole Pemberton believes everyone deserves to have a working life that is satisfying, allows for success and does not drain them of their physical, emotional and mental energies. These are not ‘soft’ aspirational words they are conditions which are key to both the engagement of staff, and their ability to perform in high demand environments.
Carole has spent her working life, researching, writing, consulting and working with individuals and organisations on the challenges of living out careers in organisations. That involvement with individuals at every age and career stage from graduate entrant to CEO has given her recognised expertise in career management, executive coaching and resilience.
Her interest in resilience grew from working with leaders who had lost access to their own resilience because of the relentlessness of demands, or because of career setback. Clients have taught her that there is no sustained career success without resilience, and her research has shown her that:
Her approach, starts from recognising the resilience strengths which we all bring to our lives and then considering how those strengths can be applied or undermined by the context in which the person is working. She looks to then fill gaps in resilience capability, so that the individual is able to operate with the flexibility and agility that is required in organisations who are working in contexts of complexity and uncertainty compounded by the need for speed.
Alongside her work as a coach, she is also Visiting Professor in Business Coaching at the University of Ulster. This means that she brings a strong evidence base to her work, and her skill is in translating what academic research discovers into its practical meaning in the workplace. She is the author of a number of books including Coaching to Solutions: A Guide to Performance Coaching for line managers and most recently Resilience.
We have a wide range of offerings in areas related to resilience with Carole, all of which are bespoke for your organisation and your needs.
Resilience for a VUCA World can be delivered as a talk, specially designed workshop, as part of a more extensive resilience training programme or as an element of a leadership development programme. It can additionally be offered to whole teams so that resilience at a team level can be explored.
Each of us has a resilience template. That template is part genetics, part childhood experience but largely learnt through dealing with the ups and downs of life. This session focuses on:
The session combines the evidence from research with high performers with activities which lead to defining actions for building resilience muscle.

Resilience is the ability to thrive in challenging circumstances – it means you can bounce back quickly from difficult situations. This is commonly mistaken with endurance which is a more rigid mindset where you’re continually pushing your body and mind to the limit without giving up. Read this blog to understand more.
We work in a climate that’s volatile, uncertain and complex. It’s also full of exciting possibilities – if you’re willing to take a risk. By developing courage and exercising our risk-taking ‘muscles’, we can begin to adapt to a new way of thinking and working. And by taking even more risks, we’ll start innovating faster and creating positive change within our organisations.
This fun and fast-paced session will help you experiment, learn fast and move forward with greater courage and resilience. The workshop will use singing and conducting to create a practical experience of risk and innovation, of leading and being led through change.
Together, you’ll learn a song in simple harmony. You’ll then have the excitement and challenge of leading an experiment using this song, engaging with constructive critique and being part of a group trying to interpret and respond to change. It’s an exciting challenge.
This hands-on, interactive session will help you:
The session will close with practical actions to help you apply your learning back in the workplace. There are no solos, and you don’t need any musical experience to participate fully!
Praise for previous sessions:
We’re creatives, so our job is all about taking risks and innovating. But that doesn’t mean we always find it easy! Kamala really helped me understand my personal response to risk, and be bolder about the ideas I put into practice. I’m now more confident about trying out ideas faster and with more of a game plan. And I back it up with the breathing exercises to stay calm! Definitely recommended.” Participant, Risk-taking for Change Makers
and another..
The risk session was fantastic, and really different to other sessions I’ve tried. Kamala really knows her stuff, and quickly had us challenging ourselves and doing things we wouldn’t have dared to a few minutes before! The idea of singing was a bit scary to begin with, but it was actually a great leveller. And it really helped us draw on that feeling of “what will people think of me, what if it goes wrong, what if I make a fool of myself” when you try a new idea at work. The directness and honesty of feedback within the group was amazing. Being able to experiment, develop what works and ditch what doesn’t quickly and confidently is such an important skill. I’ve been able to take this learning back to work and share it with my team.” Participant, Risk-taking for Change Makers

I’ve got to keep breathing. It’ll be my worst business mistake if I don’t” Steve Martin, Actor
Getting a team out of their present environment (home or office – either way, out from behind a screen) and into the forest. It’s suitable for any team, at any level, within an organisation. The session can be adapted according to level, outlook and challenges. That said, this session can also be run as a 1-1 for one specific person looking for clarity, a mind shift and a greater understanding of how to reconnect with themselves through breathwork.
Forest bathing is scientifically proven to improve health. Countless Japanese studies have revealed how it boosts immune systems, reduces stress hormones, enhances mental wellness and bolsters brain health. It can provide emotional healing, decrease blood pressure, improve general sleep-wake cycles, improve relationship skills, reduces stress and reduce aggression.
Conscious Connected Breathing on the other hand is a powerful and safe way to infuse the body with oxygen and energy, recharging our own (often depleted) systems to work to their healing capacity. It facilitates openings to higher levels of consciousness, allowing us to tap into our deeper resources and live our lives more joyfully with better functioning immune systems and a greater resilience to stress.
The combination of learning to connect more deeply to ourselves, as well as to the natural world is undeniably powerful.
Shinrin-yoku and Connected Breathwork can be used in a number of ways to enhance training and leadership skills. If you are organising an off-site board meeting or away day and there is access to a forest, we can come to that location and hold the session there. These can be used in so many ways, but a few examples include boosting customer and staff engagement in retail stores, as inspiration for the creative industries and by CEOs seeking a breathing space and by individual senior staff members as a powerful personal tool.
Justine, your guide, will facilitate a safe gentle walk, providing instructions — referred to as “invitations” — which are used as ways to open up the senses. We spend so much time using our vision that the other senses often get forgotten and are under utilised. Each walk begins with establishing embodied contact with where you are. Next comes a series of connective invitations, often improvised in the moment and adapted to the needs of the team. These will be followed by wander time with a specific focus and/or sit spot where you’ll then get to experience the power of your own breath. Breathwork is tested and proven by elite performers such as UFC fighters and Navy seals and is now being used by the likes of Google and BCG to enhance the emotional wellbeing and mental performance of their people. You’ll be given a scientific understanding of how your breathing effects you, and how incorporating it into a daily routine will bring immeasurable benefits and rewards. If you’d like to receive some of the many studies now done on the power of breathwork, please get in touch and we can send these to you.
The walk ends with tea made from foraged local plants.
Shinrin-yoku walks are not hikes in the traditional sense. The walk and breath session is typically four hours in duration and often covers no more than a quarter mile distance. In that relatively short distance and time most people experience contact with nature in a much deeper way than they ever have prior to the session. People have a wide range of experiences, some of which they feel are significant, even profound. As a guide, Justine is a CPD-certified Shinrin-yoku practitioner, awarded by the International Society of Nature and Forest Medicine (INFOM) trained in the skills and perspectives needed to be a supportive witness of these experiences. She is also a qualified Conscious Connected Breathwork practitioner.
Four hours is the ideal time you should allow for this experience and it’s ideally run for up to 8 people. It doesn’t matter if you are all from one team or spread amongst a few different departments. The session is based on you coming to Surrey, Kent or Sussex in the forests I work in there. But if you’re short on time, it’s also possible to run a shorter two-hour session. If you’d like us to travel to woods/forest near you, that’s also possible.
Duration and numbers
4 hours for up to 8 people. We can accommodate larger numbers in two groups with 2 facilitators.
Dates
Shinrin-yoku and Connected Breathwork is run on a bespoke basis for organisations, so please get in touch to discuss your needs and for more details.
Anything else to consider?
We suggest wearing comfortable non-restrictive clothing so that you’re relaxed throughout the session. Please check for any Breathwork contraindications here before booking and if you have any questions in relation to this please get in touch to discuss. If there are any concerns, then the safest way is for us to give that participant a different exercise to focus on whilst the breath session is taking place.
For participants who think resilience isn’t really a concern for them this topic will help develop a greater level of curiosity and self-awareness. They will begin wondering if they are as resilient as they once believed.

Our storyteller Preethi is a Harper Collins published author & has been described by the FT as “the storyteller who makes up the skills gap”.
Storytelling has the power to influence & change both individuals & organisations. It is an art form increasingly used to sell a concept, idea or set of values both internally & externally.
On this programme, which can be delivered in anything from a 2 hour to 1 day session with up to 50 people, we’ll explore the work of a storyteller & see how great stories are put together. You’ll learn about the tools they have at their disposable and then use these to put great stories together both in a group & individual context. You’ll come away with the skills of a storyteller along with a newfound creativity, a fresh innovative perspective and learn the power to influence through story.
This workshop can be taught across all levels from senior leaderships teams and down the line and can also be delivered as a live webinar by Zoom or similar platform.
