PERFORMANCE, RESILIENCE & LEADERSHIP at Work

Workshop 1

Workshops are designed to be practical and are often the first time participants realised they have the power to create a space between stimulus and response which we then relate workshop themes. Depending on length, workshops can reveal:

  1. How present-moment awareness returns pleasure and a sense of control to one’s life
  2. The capacity for attention-training to enhance effectiveness and reduce stress
  3. The body’s role in the physiology of stress and appraisal of daily demands

Participants walk away with tools they can use immediately. Workshops can be tailored to workplace needs.

Workshop 2

Like its workplace equivalent, this is a practical workshop designed to help senior students manage stress and perform at their best, while enjoying the final years of their school life.
This workshop is personal for EVERMIND’s CLO, Lisa Forrest – it’s the chance to share both the tools and wisdom she would like to have had during her senior years while juggling the competing demands of finishing school and swimming for Australia.

Students take away practical ways to weave mindfulness into their busy lives and simple tools to train the brain to beat stress. This is a half-day, in-school workshop.

WORKSHOP TESTIMONIALS

I found myself at a low point in my life, my business was stalling and I had recently been through a relationship collapse. But within a few short weeks of working with Lisa I had made a complete transformation … What I find most exciting about sitting down with Lisa is discovering the day-to-day rules we create for ourselves, the way they impact our thought processes and how we can reframe those rules to form different viewpoints for a happier outcome.

I think her keynote address lasted for almost an hour – but I could have listened for two. Her engagement with the audience was brilliant: she was insightful, funny, inspiring. She had the audience absolutely silent, occasionally in tears one minute, and rolling around with laughter the next.

Not only did Lisa exceed my expectations, I have come away from the course empowered to live a more connected life.I have had several sessions of meditation in different formats, and this by far was one of the most beneficial courses I have ever done. My connection to ‘spirit’ is something that I have been practicing for many years. But, the added scientific and philosophical nature of the sessions gave me a complete and well rounded view of ‘Mindfulness’. I will be forever grateful for Lisa’s wealth of knowledge and generosity of spirit.

Our team was a bit unsure about the value that a mindfulness session would add to our busy strategy and transformation team. However, it was evident within the first few minutes what a difference this could make to our clarity and focus on delivering key program. The best thing about the mindfulness program was the practical tips and tools that we were provided with, we could use them in both our professional and personal lives. The stories Lisa told about how mindfulness has impacted her life and performance were relevant and engaging which made the session fun and also practical.

We had a senior management conference last week and heard from the likes of John McGrath, Adam Spencer (JJJ radio) etc all designed to inspire innovative thinking. It was refreshing last night to hear someone so clearly and colourfully remind us we are individuals, empowered to follow our own path. I went home feeling privileged to have heard her story and continue to reflect on it.

ABN AMRO employees have been fortunate enough to listen to some very high calibre speakers over the last couple of years, but there is no doubt that Lisa was the most inspiring of them all. Her story, her delightful manner, her humour…what a wonderful combination. I have long been a fan, but am even more so now!

Many of the boys who heard her speak have commented very favorably on the ‘life skills’ aspect of her presentation, as have mothers, telling me about their sons’ reactions. Sometimes we forget that the boys need to be able to talk about their emotional lives and hear from an outsider that it is OK to have feelings. I especially thank her for that.

I conquered my fear of public speaking, signed up and continue to be a member of Toastmasters. I found out what my hidden beliefs were and reframed them into positive beliefs that are more helpful for me. I got up in front of 80 – 100 people and sang at Karaoke when I am a terrible singer and I was surprised at how powerful I felt after I had done this! I have done extraordinary things that I would not have done if it was not for Lisa. I continue to grow as a person and have an attitude of continual growth now.

Lisa is a tremendously knowledgeable and motivational presenter that brings a wealth of life experience to her discipline. Her presentation on mindfulness was delivered with passion and rigor that was solidly underpinned by evidence based science and academic research. I would highly recommend Lisa to talk at your next corporate team building session and look forward to crossing paths with her again.

I loved how Lisa started the class with a meditation of some sort. It was a great way to ease into the session & to be more present. There was a great mix of information, I found all of it to be very useful especially the scientific content. I thought Lisa delivered the information in a clear, concise manner. I enjoyed the way she drew upon her own life experiences, share them with the class (with Olympic competition swimming) & relate them to an exercise we would then do.
