The Program
Our individually tailored workplace training programs are innovative, inspiring and easy to implement.
Our evidence-based approach is authentic and realistic; a ‘best practice’ model that continually evolves in line with the latest research.
We empower people through active skills development as opposed to just educating them.
We consistently evaluate our programs and our results to ensure we provide our clients with the best possible solutions.
Our specialty is interactive online training. We can tailor our programs to deliver effective training to any work place at any time.
What is Resilience ?
Resilience is the ability to recover rapidly from setbacks, difficulties and stressful events.
How do we build resilience ?We build resilience through developing psychological flexibility, which is the ability to initiate and sustain values guided action, and engage fully in life, through times of both ease and difficulty, through periods of both stress and calm.
The higher our level of psychological flexibility, the greater our resilience.

Our Aims
To help organisations thrive and succeed through developing strong, flexible employees, capable of effectively responding to all life’s challenges.
To facilitate the development of workforces committed to achieving the best results in safe work environments.
What Causes Workplace Problems?
Almost all common workplace problems (e.g. bullying, harassment, dysfunctional teams, absenteeism, alcohol and drug abuse, reduced performance, chronic and multiple injuries etc.) occur because employees do not have the skills required to effectively handle the difficult thoughts and feelings that we all experience in challenging situations. Thus they commonly tend to use self-defeating or harmful strategies to cope.
A wealth of recent scientific research shows that psychological and behavioural problems diminish as people learn to become more psychologically flexible.
Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT)
There is only one evidence based model that increases psychological flexibility and that is Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT).Our programs are based on over fifteen years of high-quality research into the use of ACT in the workplace. This research shows that ACT effectively increases psychological flexibility which leads to:• increased work satisfaction• enhanced performance• decreased absenteeism• reduced conflict• and a significant drop in bullying and harassment claims

Participants Feedback
I started out with a little bit of apprehension thinking that online might not do as much justice as a live workshop does. But I was totally wrong! This course is a treasure.
The immense information and the way you explain it is unmatchable! You are no doubt a gifted teacher.
I found the online course to be flexible, informative and for an online course, surprisingly experiential. I especially enjoyed Russ’s use of humour throughout the presentations, it helped to reinforce the learning taking place and at times really
made me laugh (which is always a plus when absorbing new information).
Your course is marvellous, and great value too. I’m near the end of week 6 and I really appreciate being able to do the course at my own pace. I’ve slowed down a lot since I started the course so I can really take in the videos and take notes
while I’m watching. It’s great that I can keep returning to it. Many thanks for preparing the material and I look forward to doing further work online in the future.
