Hello everyone,

Hopefully you are all able to enjoy a bit more time outdoors with nature as May continues to deliver mild spring weather for us! Our May theme is around Coaching tips to help you support your team. Becky Balzano’s short video on the Thrive Academy webpage HERE (scroll down to the monthly theme section) talks about how you can empower your team to be more autonomous so that you can avoid doing everything and becoming overworked.

If you missed last month’s Shapes Masterclass on ‘How to support your colleagues without burning out yourself’, you can also find this video on the Thrive Academy page for a few more days, just underneath all the May workshop dates.

Here’s what’s coming up in your Thrive Academy programme over the next couple of weeks:

Shapes Masterclass – with Dr Rachel Morris

This month’s Masterclass is about “How to get some rest and headspace”

This is a question we often get asked. In this Masterclass we cover:

• what types of rest and headspace we need and why
• how to balance energy
• how to turn down the ‘noise’ of everyday life that takes our energy and attention, giving ourselves headspace to think and focus

12^th May at 12;30pm – BOOK HERE

Workplace Wellbeing with the Joyful Doctor 

May’s session is about ‘Supporting Our Colleagues’

How do you support colleagues at such a difficult time? Many of us find it tricky to know how to support our teams. In this workshop you will:

• Explore strategies to support each other at work
• Learn about resources available to support workers
• Leave feeling empowered to support each other
