Working with More Purpose & Wellbeing
Working with organisations, leaders, managers and team members to help them connect more with their purpose and wellbeing throughout their roles and work.
Working with More Purpose Programme
We all have a set of unique qualities, values and talents, we also have an incredibly powerful personalised drive. We help people connect to this drive through connecting more with what:
– they find purposeful
– that has real meaning to them
– they take real pride in
– they want to make difference to
There is a lot of coverage of purposeful thinking, purposeful organisations and purposeful leadership at the moment. Our approach focuses on accessing and harnessing our individual purpose so that we have the opportunity to transfer this through our roles at work – whether as leaders, managers, individual contributors or members of teams.
We work with people who want to explore and connect more with their purpose and transfer this into their roles at work. This need for purposeful connection may stem from people seeking more meaning in their existing roles, reconnecting to the meaning that once existed or actually achieving what they set out to do only to find this level or area of success hasn’t provided the fulfilment they expected. We work with tried and tested heart led approaches to connecting to purpose and
Some Reasons Why Purpose Makes Us Perform Better
Purpose deeply engages us
What if we did our work like it was part of our calling? Would the work we would do be more creative, more satisfying, more impactful? When we pursue our work with purpose it becomes a source of energy and commitment that can support us through set backs and challenges and spur us on to seek on-going improvements and developments in what we see as being important.
Purpose makes us courageous and resilient
It energises us to take risks, to move beyond our fears. Purpose calls us to grow, to be bigger, stronger, more resilient than we thought was possible, to embrace change and take on new challenges. Connecting with our purpose can help propel us outside of our comfort zone more.
Purpose helps us engage others
When there is a shared mission, something big that inspires others, it is contagious. It builds engagement. People go the extra mile because their minds and more importantly their hearts are engaged. This comes from us understanding our personal purpose, sharing it with others and linking it with the work that we do. It comes from us understanding purpose in ourselves and others.
Working With More Purpose Programme
However, connecting to one’s purpose can be a vulnerable act, it challenges to consider what is really important to us, what difference we want to make. For many this can be too challenging, it can link to a fear of failure and vulnerability and for standing up for what is meaningful to them. It means bringing your true essence to your work role and creating a legacy to be proud of.
Our Working With More Purpose programme works through a proven approach, building ‘stepping stones’ to a better understanding of what has true meaning for you, helping you connect to the power of your inner will and drive and your heart’s desire and exploring how this impacts on your work role and style – whether as a business owner, a leader in an organisation or as a ‘follower’ working with other people.
A little bit more about how we work with ‘followers”: For some the term ‘follower’ can sound career limiting, for us we want to embrace the critical role followers make, we want to support them in making an even greater contribution within their role, their team and their collaboration across their organisation. We do this by helping followers become more purposeful, to help them really connect with what’s important to them, the ‘why’ behind them working in their role. We help followers connect with the Power of their Hearts to harness their authenticity and full potential.
A fully engaged and highly effective follower believes in the choice they have made of who to follow, how to follow and why to follow them. They trust themselves in this choice – this is where we can help people really understand this choice and how this is a purposeful choice, one that will lead to greater personal and professional fulfilment and contribution to the organisation.
During this Programme, we help participants
- explore their values and uncover what’s most important to them
- connect more with their heart’s desire – something that they can do, which is theirs to do
- really connect to the ‘why’ they are working for the organisation
- tap into greater sources of energy and commitment that can support us through set backs and challenges
- become more resilient than we thought was possible, to embrace change and take on new challenges
- support them to ‘step-up’, connect with their heart’s desire and take the responsibility to be the best version of themselves at work
Working with more wellbeing
Health at work is a big issue. There are numerous surveys raising awareness of the impact ill-health is having on absenteeism, engagement and productivity from the organisational perspective and the impact on work-life balance and work fulfilment from employees’ perspectives.
More and more organisations are seeing well-being moving away from being a ‘nice to have’ to being more of a priority providing a duty of care and a necessity to retain talent and maintain performance levels. We work with people to help them improve some of the key aspects of wellbeing with the aim of improving levels of fulfilment, health and work and life performance.
Our Approach
Our approach helps people manage stress, increase resilience, and connect to their values and purpose. We help increase self-awareness and self-appreciation, giving people more choice on how to respond, not just react, to challenging situations, helping them be at their best more often.
- We use the Science of the Heart – the heart’s brain, heart rate variability and its impact on the vegas nerve to help people better manage and regulate their nervous systems
- We help people embrace and harness the power of emotions
- We guide people to connect with their the heart’s desire, purpose and drive to enable them to harness their powerful authenticity and impact
We all have off days, bad days, times when we are impacted on and tend to be more reactive rather than responsive to situations and people. This is not about creating a perfect world, a perfect bubble for us to operate from, this is about being able to have more influence on the world than the world’s challenges have on you.
This is about recognising when you are not at your best, when you’re reacting rather than responding in a way that is potentially impacting your wellbeing – your health, your engagement levels, your fulfilment and your impact on other people, both inside and outside of work.
We focus on helping people build skills and tools to shift their state of wellbeing; the tools we help people develop can have a cumulative effect, creating long term changes in mindset and behaviour and which can significantly impact on their work life performance and levels of fulfilment.
Heartful Mentoring
One to one mentoring can have a huge impact on your development as a person. Unlocking potential, helping you discover your inherent heart qualities and enabling you to tap into the power of a more purposeful approach to life and work. We combine standard mentoring practices with our Power of the Heart approach.
Heart Rhythm Meditation
Meditation has become increasingly popular with lots of types of mediation for people to try. We practice Heart Rhythm Meditation - it is a practical life centred meditation which helps us take on the emotional and physical challenges everyday life can throw at us.
Open Meditation Sessions
We run weekly on-line heart rhythm meditation sessions for people who’d like to try a heart centred type of meditation, our sessions run for 50 minutes and are hosted by a qualified meditation practitioner.
