Led by: Belinda Brosnan

Work Smart: Back yourself, and uncover the keys to brilliance

Led by: Jess Stuart

ABOUT YOUR MASTERCLASS

For so much of the past few years, we have been reactive – forced to roll with the punches, adapt to an ever-changing climate and frankly, we’re all exhausted. Yes, we’re more resilient and know how much we’re capable of achieving under immense pressure, but wouldn’t it be nice to start taking more proactive steps towards shaping our future careers and lives?

This workshop is a breath of fresh air, allowing you the time and space to reset and explore exactly what you hope to achieve in the coming months and years, both professionally and personally. You’ll take a step back from your day-to-day hustle and really hone in on what is important to you, identify opportunities to make a real difference and set yourself goals for future YOU.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR, BELINDA BROSNAN

While Belinda has an ability to make even the likes of Jack Sparrow feel at ease in the midst of Caribbean hurricane, don’t be fooled by her down-to-earth, ‘calm-in-a-crisis’ personality.

She wants the work we do to matter, as individuals, as organisations, and citizens of the world. And she most loves to work with organisations that feel the same.

Belinda’s specialist expertise lies in guiding senior leaders through change and uncertainty.

Add to this Belinda’s credentials in executive coaching, conversational intelligence and NeuroLeadership and she’s got a lot to give.

ABOUT YOUR MASTERCLASS

When you back yourself, you lean in rather than miss opportunities, your imposter syndrome disappears, you don’t fear speaking out, and you build resilience and grow. And so often, we procrastinate or over-work to try and get everything perfect – but these things just lead to us missing out on our best performance.

Quantity does not always mean quality and being busy does not mean we’re productive, in fact the opposite is often true. The reality is that workload is high, that won’t change.  We also live in a world where uncertainty and change is the norm and there’s more pressure than ever placed on our mental health.

This is a must attend workshop to ensure you’re getting the best from yourself and to thrive in your working environment. The programme will reenergise you, and sustain you to unleash your potential, stand in your power, and unlock the keys to brilliance. In this workshop, you will:

• Overcome imposter syndrome and retrain the brain for a positive mindset
• Beat procrastination and perfectionism
• Understand the difference between busy and productive
• Work smarter not harder and master the habits of high performance
• Turn down the inner critic and stop overthinking
• Learn how to recognise and leverage your strengths and build confidence to speak up
• Understand the neuroscience behind thinking patterns and rewire the brain
• Learn strategies to cultivate a more calm, clearer mind
• Keep calm amid the chaos and give yourself space to thrive, even in the tough times
• Improve productivity and effectiveness

You will also master the art of slowing down to speed up, understand the power of the mind and how to use it to stay focused, calm and effective. You will appreciate the difference between busy and productive and ensure you are a sustainable resource. And you will learn what it is resilient people do, build your own plan to overcome challenges and uncertainty and deliver on your potential.
