  Wellbeing solutions for greater focus and fulfilment at work
  The importance of wellbeing in the workplace is no longer in question. Anxiety and depression continue to rise. Suicide remains too high on "cause of death" for our society - particularly for men. Yet we have volumes of research showing simple and powerful ways to increase the wellbeing of our teams, and to boost the positivity in our culture.
  Hundreds of studies emphasise that staff need to be psychologically well to be productive and thrive. Hundreds more reports reveal the growing incidence and potentially life shattering impact of mental health issues. The question now is “how?”:
  • How do we create an environment in which our staff can flourish?
  • How do we take concepts such as “resilience” and “positive psychology” beyond theory and fad to help our staff thrive at work?
  • How do we find out what’s actually working in real workplaces so we’re not rehashing tired old programs that don’t work anymore?
  • And just as important:
    • How do we inspire and engage staff who are tired of “the next big thing” in workplace programs like "sleep pods" and "ping pong tournaments"? Too often staff start with tremendous enthusiasm, but so many “hope” programs, (where “we hope this works”) can leave them jaded and cynical.

This wellbeing package is designed to address all these issues, and lift your team's positivity to the next level. It provides powerful, immediately applicable strategies that are empirically proven and make an immediate difference.

• High performance habits
  How to set up systems to achieve the extraordinary
  Do you find that staff often say they’ll do something, but struggle to do what they say they’ll do? Are your staff ’s workplace habits too often unproductive?
  Are your team’s goals clear, but the systems and habits they need to achieve those goals a little foggy?
  High Performance Habits is a deeply interactive presentation created to guide your staff to design the systems they need to follow through, get stuff done, increase productivity and perform at a high level.
  For too long, we’ve focused on goals and then told people to get to work. We’ve attempted to motivate them (or relied on them to motivate themselves), when the systems - or lack thereof - actively work against them.
  After working with Dr Justin Coulson, your team will be clear on what needs to be done, how they’re going to do it, and who they’ll be accountable to.
  
  
• Emotional intelligence
  Why being smart isn’t enough for productivity, success and fulfilment at work
  Emotions matter more than we realise. They impact motivation and productivity, creativity, decision-making, relationships and the performance appraisals we give. They even affect integrity and character.
  Yet emotions are often misunderstood, especially at work. When emotions surface with colleagues - and even clients - they are all-too-often ignored, or worse, shut down.
  Research shows that raising our EQ – our emotional intelligence – can have an instant impact on relationships, behaviours, achievement, results and wellbeing, far beyond anything related to IQ.
  It can also transform staff engagement and productivity – an ongoing and draining issue for every manager.
• The parenting revolution
  What does it mean to be a good parent? Are you a good parent when your child is compliant but a bad parent when they're not? What if they're perfect at age three and challenging at thirteen? And what if your child has additional needs?
  The Parenting Revolution presentation is about parenting styles and what it takes to be a great parent. We know about tiger parents, helicopter parents, free-range parents, but have you heard of Tesla parents, leaf-blower parents or iPhone 6 parents?
  So many styles but is there one that actually works?
  Join Dr Justin for a practical presentation which draws on content from his new book, The Parenting Revolution: A guide to raising resilient kids, and incorporates up-to-the-minute research in parenting science as well as studies of childhood development.
  Dr Justin Coulson will show you:
  how our children thrive when we understand and meet their basic psychological needs;
  how our job is not to fix our kids but to create an environment that supports their growth and development; and
  how children flourish when we minimise control but maximise our warmth and involvement and establish healthy boundaries.
  Not all children are the same and Justin considers a range of circumstances that you or your child might be in - including children with non-typical development.
  His revolutionary approach and practical strategies will encourage you to change the way you parent forever.
