Self-care for sustainable health care

Do you get a lot of joy and fulfilment out of helping people and their animals to have a happier and healthier life – but forget or neglect to do the same for yourself? We all know what to do to stay healthy, right? The question is, do you prioritise that self-care or do you put yourself last?

Self-care is not selfish – rather, it is essential for you to sustainably care for others.

This workshop:

• – Reviews the strategies you are currently using to stay well
• – Provides evidence-based information on your strategies and others you could adopt
• – Assists you to break down those barriers, set boundaries and make change
• – Creates a personalised self-care plan

Ramping up recognition

What we all want when we go to work, is to be seen, appreciated and validated for the job that we do and the difference that we make. Good recognition is the ultimate performance enhancing drug.

This workshop creates a personalized action plan for recognition in your workplace and in so doing, answers these questions:

• – How does recognition create an environment for people to do well?
• – What does good recognition look like?
• – How can we make regular recognition feel natural?
• – How do we balance recognition and accountability?
