Health and Performance Coaching to enable those within your organisation to perform at and feel their best, consistently.
WE HAVE 3 MAIN ROLES:
To provide holistic and personalised support for personnel with leadership roles, to enable your organisation to perform at it's highest level.
To provide quality support for those with challenges to compress the timeline to getting them back on track.
To educate and empower all employees to take personal ownership for their physical and mental wellbeing and personal development.
Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. —Peter Drucker.
BESPOKE PROGRAMMES
Every business and individual is unique. We can develop a strategy that is the most efficient for your company. We will liaise to discuss the best ways to help your employees and thus your business as a whole. The best leaders understand the relationship between wellbeing and performance. The research is also clear - showing teams will perform better and more creatively if their physical and mental health is taken care of. They will also be happier and easier to retain.
Hence being proactive, as opposed to reactive around employee wellbeing is no longer optional. The return on investment in being proactive as opposed to reactive with employees is also becoming increasingly clear. Burnout, back pain and the array of other physical and mental health issues are costly, and rising at an alarming rate of increase. As is the rate of valuable employees leaving positions because the conditions of work don’t support their health and lifestyle values.
Bespoke seminars and workshops can be created for your team.
Popular topics include:
mindfulness/meditation, energy, stress management, nutrition, sleep hygiene, pilates/yoga/exercise, ideal lifestyle creation, burnout prevention, mindset and success strategy, women’s health, hormones, female leadership.
A combination of topics is included in my signature talks:
Mindwise at Work™
Mindfulness at Work™
How to Thrive 365™
Breathe to Lead™
Services can also include the following:
1. IN-PERSON or ONLINE SEMINARS
Seminars are a highly efficient and cost-effective way of educating and empowering your workforce to take responsibility for their personal development and wellbeing. They can vary in length: 30 minutes for a lunchtime or a longer 1 hour session if more detail is required.
Another option is a recorded or live online seminar for your employees so that they can join this in their own time or when it's more convenient.
My signature seminars and workshops include a blend of performance, productivity and stress management strategies. The most relevant inter-related topics for your organisation are selected from such tools as: mindfulness, emotional mastery, optimising sleep, nutrition and exercise and pain/crisis management. The topics are modified and adapted for the specific needs of the audience. Equally, more focused seminars on 1-3 areas of primary focus can be arranged.
2. CONSULTING OR COACHING FOR COMPANY EXECUTIVES & LEADERS
Coaching support can vary from a short weekly lunch-time session to a half-day intensive, where we have a private 1:1 rendez-vous via Skype (or locally in Geneva, London or Paris). The timeline is of paramount importance; if individuals can process and deal with concerns in an efficient manner they can be quickly and easily dealt with. Many corporate clients find that the combination of support I can offer is of such high value because it is often quite unlike the coaching they may have already tried. Bringing together the body and mind and elements, along with looking at people as a WHOLE is what seems to make the difference.
When the ethos of looking after ourselves is understood and projected, it is naturally promoted and facilitated from the top down. That's a win:win all round. Everyone benefits and feels healthier, happier and hence more motivated and productive.
3. PRIVATE and group COACHING FOR ALL EMPLOYEES
For individuals with specific concerns, life challenges or health needs, we aim to identify the route cause of any issues. We can then help to develop a strategy which enables individuals to be proactive in their health, happiness and performance. Should your organisation choose to showcase our services via a complimentary seminar for example, your employees can benefit from preferential rates should they wish to invest privately.
4. ON-LINE SUPPORT
When time is short and particularly when it can be difficult to find precious time in the day for appointments, support via email or an anonymous group forum can be set up. In this way the common subjects are covered in a timely, efficient and convenient manner. Mini-webinars or appointments via Skype are also another option.
5. WORKSHOPS
A series of workshops can tackle topics in more depth. Mindfulness is just one of several methods used, which according to many top CEOs, is a must to stay ahead in the 21st century. Optimising exercise, nutrition and mindset to support our amazing bodies, given our time short constraints are other such topics. These can be in person, or a series of recorded or live on-line seminars with facilities for on-line interaction and questions.
6. WELLBEING CLASSES
Medium to long-term classes may take over for your employees to maintain the level of health and enthusiasm we achieve. These are affordable, long-term health promotion strategies. With an approachable professional at hand weekly, those troublesome health questions can be posed before they get out of hand and sick leave ensues.

MY ETHOS
The outcome from looking at lifestyle, performance, mindset and health AS A WHOLE can be truly transformational.
This holistic approach can save organisations a whole lot of time, money and energy by focusing on physical, emotional and mental wellness to facilitate consistent peak performance and rest, as opposed to employees succumbing to underperformance, dissatisfaction, high stress, burn out and sick leave.
Humans have an amazingly complex body and mind, comprised of systems which have evolved to integrate to work in perfect harmony. However, this natural equilibrium can become upset. I am told that one of my best attributes is my ability to listen attentively. This allows me to quickly envision the big picture. With this understanding, I can quickly help my clients to establish which issue is the key to facilitating the desired change or goal and help them stay healthy, happy and able to perform at their best.
Together, we can enable you and your teams to not only excel, but also to feel happy pursuing your goals and desires, be they at work, home or play.
THE RESEARCH
Compared with sick pay and loss of work with the absent or under-performing employee, specialist coaching can be a very worthwhile and empowering option.
Stress is now the single biggest cause of sickness in the UK (Health and Safety Excecutive, UK)
It is estimated that 60 to 85% of visits to the general practionners / family doctors, are for stress related problems
Nearly 66% of companies with effective health and productivity programmes believe they perform better than their competitors. (Towers Watson 2011)
In a recent survey by Virgin Healthmiles, 77% of employees responded that “health and wellness programs positively impact the culture at work.” ( Virgin HealthMiles Inc. and Workforce Management Magazine)
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance warns that managers must 'raise their game' to create happy and healthy workplaces. (BBC)
In the UK, almost 31 million days of work were lost in 2013 due to back, neck and muscle problems. (Office for National Statistics (ONS)
Over 105 million days are lost to stress each year – costing UK employers £1.24 billion. (Health and Safety Executive, UK)
Current studies that look beyond the data and examine the scope of programmes reveal that the most effective workplace coaching or wellness interventions tend to be more comprehensive and take an holistic approach, while at the same time offering flexible solutions tailored to a company’s specific workforce, often location-specific.

A FEW TESTIMONIALS
“ Sally, thank you for taking the time and rising to the challenge successfully of a lot of content in a short time. You really hit the nail on the head and feedback has been really positive. The simple but powerful messages of understanding where your head is on that sine curve, understanding that by starting to proactively engage with ourselves, our heads, our diaries, our daily rhythms and disciplines and importantly our mindset we increase our health, wellbeing and emotional fortitude. Very true. Many thanks and I look forward to meeting in person sometime in the near when we have mastered this Virus.
Mike Kearney Vice President Global Operations, Electronic Arts, Geneva
“Sally is my my secret success weapon! Running a business is a real challenge, and it was at the point where I felt that it was consuming all of me that I reached out to her. I quickly realised that investing my time and money with Sally was helping me shift my energy and these changes meant that I was starting to balance my time between work and home. I've learned what wellbeing truly is and that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm meditating all day. It's just taking care of myself, so I can pursue my dreams.”
Grant Pierrus, CEO The Interior Style Hunter, London
" Sally had a transformative influence on my life, encouraging true introspection and inner work to manifest the life that I dream of, and to be at ease with the strength within, not distracted by the noise, that can be so deafening. Sally is Gods voice guiding you: mind, body, spirit to the fullness of self and of life and of love. I have been greatly blessed to share and be guided. Thank you!”
Chidiogo Akunyili, Community Lead of Global Shapers, World Economic Forum, Geneva
“I think Sally's genius is in her unique ability to impart concrete information paired with her uncanny ability to get to the root of a problem in minutes. She offers both concrete suggestions and the opportunity to delve deeper into root causes. She also combines professionalism with a gentle empathetic touch. Sally really cares about the personal growth of her coachees, and this goes a long way to embed her wise teachings. What I gained was a more diligent attitude to quarterly and daily goal setting, time management at work and at home, and an affirmation of the power of body work to connect with the subconscious. Above all I felt a great sense of purpose and a bounce in my step...”
Dr Tanya Murphy, Founder of The Zoe Trust, Geneva
" Sally has utilised the breadth of her experience very well in the military setting, where standards are very demanding due to the huge occupational focus on early return to work. I am sure that she will utilise her excellent interpersonal and clinical skills to excellent effect in the future. "
