This course empowers participants to understand the science of stress, recognise early signs of burnout, and develop a sustainable toolkit for self-care. Through interactive workshops, evidence-based frameworks, and deep-dive discussions, delegates learn to set boundaries, prioritise effectively, and balance physical and mental recovery in a demanding work environment.
Are you running on empty?
This one day course gives you the tools to refuel — not just survive, but thrive.
You’ll learn to spot the early signs of burnout before it takes hold, understand how stress really works in your body, and build a personal self-care plan that lasts.
No theory overload — just practical, science-backed strategies you can use the very next day.
By the end, you’ll know how to set boundaries that stick, prioritise without guilt, and recharge in ways that actually work.
It’s designed for real people in demanding roles — whether you’re leading a team or managing your own workload.
Available as an open course, closed group session, or one to one coaching.
