Too often we allow ourselves to be defined by the title on our business card. The answer can both consciously and unconsciously box us in, confining language, limiting expectations, what society expects of us, even what we expect of ourselves. A deeper dive into Paul’s 2021 TEDx speech - a speech watched by almost 50,000 people within one day of its release. Explore the concept of our evolutionary heritage and how the express lane of the digital age doesn’t mean our primal powers are lost and forgotten. A refreshing look at how embracing personal metrics that are truly meaningful, why failure makes you more, and how we can prepare to thrive in a dynamic future - both in business and our private journeys as individuals.

If the next 5 years of your life was a chapter - what would it be about? Utilising The Hero’s Journey framework of Joseph Campbell, we work to reflect on past chapters, roadblocks, mentors, lessons learned and powers discovered.

A powerful exercise that brings discussion, laughter, reflection and the odd tear. A fascinating way for teams to share dreams and aspirations as well as share some incredible stories from their own lives.

Putting some science, fun and movement into our workshops. We delve into some no-cost, no equipment tools around breathwork, stress assessment and emotional response regulation. We get our mobility on, talk about basic human maintenance and finally look at the science of sleep and how to maximise it.

Sometimes you need to mix it up with some movement, some laughs and some tangible tools that people can take home and start actioning.
