Praise for
Performance

We all love to be appreciated - there are robust evolutionary reasons for this. Research shows that we perform better when our contributions are recognised. However, sometimes a downward spiral can exist where lack of praise leads to praising others less. This creates a pernicious, negative feedback loop that gets embedded within the organisational culture.

we explore clear
steps to creating a culture of appreciation.
If it feels good and improves performance, then why not?

According to the World Health Organization, stress is a 21st century epidemic. Obstructing clear thinking and decision making, stress presents a challenge not only to our mental health, but also to our physical health. But how did it come to this? Didn’t the “stress response” evolve to keep us safe?

Thousands of years ago, yogis sought to control the stress response using the breath. Cutting-edge neurobiology shows that they were right.

During this practical workshop, delegates will explore and execute the most effective breath skill and learn why controlling the ancient stress response is essential to managing our complex, modern-day challenges.
