Happiness at work

Learn To Breathe Workshops

Why do you need to learn to breathe properly?

Have you ever watched a small child at play? Completely absorbed in the moment and totally unselfconscious. Perfect authenticity. No facades. Simply being. It’s a great reminder of our inherent ability to live this way. So when did we lose that ability and how do we get back there?

From a very early age we are taught how NOT to be authentic. Parents give children signals as to what is ‘ok’ and ‘not-ok’, and children adopt strategies in order to regain approval. For children, non-authentic behaviour has a short term gain. Over time however it becomes the norm, leading us further and further away from who we really are.

Our relationships with others, both inside and outside the workplace, are a direct reflection of the one we have with ourselves. You can’t hope to connect with others if we can’t connect to ourselves. If you’re looking for authenticity you need to be authentic with yourself. If you want respect from others at work, you need to be respectful with yourself. If you’d like to see through the facades of others you must get behind your own facade first.

Breathwork is your ticket back to the remembrance of your authentic self, a journey which can open you further than you ever imagined possible. It’s the best 2hrs you will ever spend.  Learning to breathe properly allows you to lighten up, and realise that you are already ok as you are. The facade you’ve spent years constructing will simply fall away as you begin to practice what you have learned in this session. You can disengage from the drama, find your centre, find joy – and consciously create a life you are happy to be a part of.

The Power of Breath

Humans have been aware of the healing power of their breath for millennia. Through the centuries we’ve developed a vast array of breathing practices, all designed to bring about physical and emotional wellbeing and connect with ourselves.

But in today’s society, we often neglect our bodies’ built-in capabilities. Imagine owning the highest specification TV in existence, keeping it plugged in on standby and then living with it for years and years without ever actually turning it on. The fact is, most of us live in ‘standby mode’ most of the time. The most powerful mechanism is literally right beneath our noses waiting to be explored, yet we rarely give it more than a passing thought.

Learning to breathe 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. And it facilitates openings in us which allow us to tap into our deeper resources and live better, easier, more joyful lives.

This breathwork session can help you back to optimum health, mental and emotional clarity and experience a better relationship with ourselves and the people we work alongside. It can facilitate the growth we need in order for us to transform into who we’re capable of becoming.

What you’ll gain from this session and further self-practice

• Learn a technique which, if practised, will help you become the healthiest you’ve ever been
• Feel completely energised
• Experience deeply nourishing peace and relaxation
• Move beyond whatever is standing between you and happiness
• Become aware of emotions halting your personal growth
• Let go of emotional baggage permanently and easily
• Release anxiety and alleviate depression

The Technique

Alan Dolan’s work is based around years of exploring the most beneficial breathing techniques available to us. You’ll be taught how to use breathing effectively and be guided and supervised as you go along – paving the way for really transformative experiences.

What’s included

A 2-hr group breathwork session with an appropriate number of facilitators who will work alongside Alan to assist you.

Please get in touch with us directly to make a booking. We can accommodate up to 60 people in one session. Please contact us here.

Alan Dolan is one of the best breathworkers I’ve had the privilege to work with. His level of care for and intuitive understanding about the needs of his clients is second to none and I highly recommend him to any and everyone looking for a way to live a happier, healthier and more peaceful life”

Menopause Empowerment

Nutrition for Performance and Wellbeing

This session can be delivered as a one hour overview or a series of sessions exploring the effects of different food, and drink on our performance and wellbeing.

Our bodies are miraculous machines that are designed to be fuelled and driven by the food we eat. Food is not just calories, it is medicine – some food is full of good energy medicine and some food is SO unhelpful that it actually robs us of energy while the body tries to process it.

As we deal with life’s many challenges – juggling work life with home life, we want to have a spring in our step, feel a zest for life, enthusiastic about our work, look good, slow down the ageing process, and be at the top of our game.

In this talk we will unravel some of the myths and the confusion that has developed around what we should (and shouldn’t) eat and learn some simple principles on eating for health and optimum performance.

Healthy eating does not need to be complicated or dull. You’ll learn how to make the best choices for your lunch box or what to choose in restaurants and cafes during your working day.  You’ll also learn how to manage your shopping and fridge for tasty nutritious options at home, which allow for a restful nights sleep, leaving you feeling energised in the morning and ready for the day.

Nutrition is foundational to health, and it’s in our hands.  With some simple guidance and a few small changes we’ll help you transform the health of your body and your mind.

Suzy gave a fascinating speech about wellbeing which included effective and fast stress management techniques, nutrition, yoga at the office desk and much more. Everyone was very impressed. Her presentation style was superb, engaging, energetic, and educational, and much of it has been put into practice already!”

Resilience for a VUCA World

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:

1. We are all resilient
2. No one, no matter how successful, is resilient all of the time
3. Resilience is more than physical wellbeing (although it plays a part)

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:

• Understanding what resilience is and its relevance to individual performance
• Developing an individual profile and considering its meaning for how the individual shows up at work as a leader or team member
• Strategies for developing resilience muscle that encompass physical, mental and emotional energies plus the energy that comes from purpose

The session combines the evidence from research with high performers with activities which lead to defining actions for building resilience muscle.

This can also be delivered as a live webinar by Zoom or similar platform.

Risk-taking for Change Makers

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:

• Explore your personal relationship with risk 
• Strengthen your courage to innovate and experiment faster and more frequently
• Give and get fast, relevant feedback on your own and colleagues’ ideas
• Offer challenge and dissent constructively and in the moment
• Learn practical tools to improve your resilience and help you take risks more sustainably

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

SHIATSU

Shiatsu is Japanese for finger pressure. This powerful treatment involves applying pressure on the meridians (energetic channels that run through all body parts) and working on the musculoskeletal system. The treatments awaken the body’s potential to heal itself. Shiatsu works on a deep and superficial level. Deep work induces a meditative state that encourages relaxation and reduces the effects of long-term stress, whilst superficial focuses on stretching and relaxing muscles, freeing up joints and realigning the spine. Regular sessions make a real difference to quality of life as well as preserving wellbeing and enhancing daily performance.

Shiatsu is available as a 60 min treatment for individuals at our centre in Surrey or as part of a programme for organisations. For the latter, please contact us to discuss.

Storytelling for Wellbeing at Work

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.

Street Wisdom For Businss

“Whether for personal exploration or to encourage creativity in business, Street Wisdom is an incredible tool and important movement”
David D’Souza: Head of Engagement, CIPD

If you’ve not heard of this yet – where have you been?!  When you’re looking to create something new, fresh and memorable for your people, you don’t need to look as far as you think. There’s inspiration right outside your office. If you know how to find it. We’ll create a bespoke experience for your organisation.

What’s it about?

Street Wisdom is a powerful, innovative tool that helps reboot thinking, set new directions and unlock ideas. An immersive walking workshop that teaches individuals to use city streets to find fresh answers to the questions on their mind. Street Wisdom is already a global social enterprise popular in over 30 countries with powerful applications to help your business.  You’ll be joining other forward-thinking organisations such as Ogilvy, FT, Google & Samsung who have already tried it and loved it.

A growing number of businesses are waking up to Street Wisdom as a fresh new way to:

• Crack problems
• Inspire people
• Unleash Creativity
• Develop collaboration
• Boost well-being
• Connect with the community
• Enhance personal development

What is it?

Street Wisdom is a global social enterprise with a mission to bring inspiration to every street on earth. It’s a technology that allows you to get unusual inspiration from your everyday surroundings. As fully trained-up Street Wizards, we’ll give you the skills to access the ‘invisible university’ that’s all around you on the streets and help you as individuals, or teams, to find fresh answers to personal or work-related questions – with profound results.

Why the streets?

Because they are many and varied. They are free to use. They are where we spend an increasing amount of our metropolitan lives. And they are a rich source of untapped wisdom. It turns out, you don’t need an exotic getaway to find inspiration, it’s right outside your door. And you won’t burn a tonne of fossil fuel getting there.

How can you experience it?

Street Wisdom is a generally run as a three-hour workshop, although our team will create a bespoke experience for your organisation. Plenty of individuals use Street Wisdom to solve their business problems, now, entire businesses can do the same.

It’s an innovative and sustainable way to:

• Inspire your people and give them a way to inspire themselves
• Find new ways around problems
• Collectively set a new direction
• Improve wellbeing
• Connect you better with your community and customers

How does it work?

It’s very simple – that’s because the process has been refined for years.

Tune Up. Quest. Share.

1. First, our street guide helps you and your group tune up your senses so you can pick up much more information from the urban environment that you would normally.
2. Then you’re off on a journey by yourself – your street quest – where you ask a question and see what answers present themselves.
3. Finally, you gather together again to share what happened and, more often than not, wonder at how magical an ordinary street can become when you’re really aware of those hidden messages, chance meetings and unexpected discoveries.

Who came up with the idea?

Founder David Pearl is an internationally renowned speaker who specialises in igniting creativity and changing working cultures. With expert facilitators based around the UK, we can work at scale. Our toolkit and bespoke training sessions give in-house facilitators the ability to roll out Street Wisdom within an entire workplace – inspiring whole companies to use the streets as a source of new ideas.

What about the results?

In just three hours of walking and wandering, participants have resolved problems that have dogged them for years, found new business ideas, discovered new directions, and learned how to deal differently with living, learning and loving.

Street Wisdom by The Life Adventure can be run as a group experience booked by an individual on behalf of a group of friends, or for a team within an organisation who may be looking for answers to problems, or to innovate.  Ideally, you’ll need a minimum of 10 people, but get in touch here or tweet us to discuss.

It’s such a fascinating experience so if you’d like some further reading on it see this review on Street Wisdom by The Times.

The Art Of Having No Idea

The answer is right in front of us

We’re pretending we know what we’re doing…

When actually we have no idea.

We’re trying to achieve something that’s unclear.

So we ignore our feelings in order to do things…even when they don’t feel quite right, which is very inefficient!

It doesn’t have to be this way. Laurence shorter, leadership coach & comedian – author of ‘the optimist’ & ‘the lazy guru’s guide to life’ – will talk you through ways of being that are less stressful and radically more creative and efficient: we’ve called it The Art Of Having No Idea. In this session he’ll share his experience of navigating uncertainty by accepting failure & confusion, giving examples from his own life and his work with teams, leaders and entrepreneurs. You will leave with both insights and practical tools for change.  You’ll also learn:

Effort vs effortlessness
An inquiry into how good things really happen

Space & Inspiration
A live experience of creative space

Shoulds & Can’ts
Understanding what gets in the way of creativity

Insights for Action
How we fill space & how to create more of it

Presenter Matthew Leavey

Matthew first came to Shiatsu through his 30 years of martial arts training. Having suffered various injuries, he discovered its ability to alleviate pain and this became his directing force towards learning Shiatsu and the healing arts. His early Shiatsu training inspired him to study 24 form Yang Style Tai Chi with Lei Lei Chu and he later returned to study Tai Chi Chuan Qi-Gong, Hsing Yi and Kung Fu with master Peter Warr. Matthew has incredible understanding of the rhythm and density of the human body and his Shiatsu sessions squeeze, bend and stretch the body to expertly work out any blockages, aches and pains that are caused by injury, inactivity, stress or illness. His clients range an entire demographic, from high-profile city bankers to professional athletes, octogenarians to infants. He treats each with vision, energy and empathy.
