Your team works better when you're at your best
Invest in yourself; invest in your team
These trainings are a mix of facilitated interaction, brain science facts, and team-building. They are fine for an individual to learn from, and excellent for a team to digest and debrief together.
We also have a menu of trainings available at www.nonprofitwellness.org -- check them out.

Wellness Trainings For Your Team
15 Immune Boosters
We go over 15 mostly-science-backed Immune Boosters you should consider adopting. Restore your body to #resist coronavirus (and this administration). Download the summary at the "links" page above.
Take Five: Brain Breaks or Body Breaks
We can lead your team through a "Take Five" curriculum focused on brain breaks (neural challenges, mindfulness practices, and playful memories) or on body breaks (quick yoga, workout or kid-friendly physical ideas). Our training team includes personal training, yoga, mindfulness, PIlates, HIIT and other expertise.
Staying Mindful in Stressful Times
Mindfulness is simply the non-judgemental awareness of the present moment. It doesn't have to only focus on the breath...you can practice mindful music listening, walking, cooking, eating and workouts. In this session, we practice five different mindfulness techniques for a well-rounded overview, and peaceful interlude to any day.
Team Tendencies & Team Re-Set
Teams need to re-set periodically. Learning about habit change at these times, and discussing wellness shifts with each other can build a trusting culture quickly and meaningfully. Online-friendly.
Teams also need a defined vocabulary to discuss their tendencies alone and together. We find Gretchen Rubin's "The Four Tendencies" a great framework for discussing how we react to internal and external expectations. Which is, of course, linked to wellness (self-care and team-care).
Building a Wellness Brigade
We are bad at taking care of ourselves, but pretty good at taking care of others. A Wellness Committee at your workplace or school will improve culture as well as your team's healthy practices. We work with adult staff (rather than students or constituents). Whatever healthy practices they choose can decrease staff turnover and sick days, with positive, team-focused investments.
You might already have a health-focused committee, or maybe you're building one from scratch in the post-covid era. We can advise your team or your leader(s) on how to proceed, based on your budget and what we've seen work at similar schools/organizations. Let's take care of the care takers.
