Welcome

“Wellbeing at Work” is a deliberate play on words. On the one hand, it refers to maintaining and improving wellbeing in the workplace (organisational wellbeing), and on the other it refers to how we can proactively create greater wellbeing for ourselves, and see the effects of this ‘at work’ in all aspects of our lives (personal wellbeing).

Stop, and reflect for a moment about how your work/life experience might look and feel, if you were able to do the following:

  • Create and maintain a sense of vitality on a daily basis, both at work and at home.
  • Enjoy activities which are meaningful and engaging, and which make you feel competent and autonomous.
  • Draw upon a stock of inner resources to help you cope and bounce back when things go wrong, and be resilient to changes beyond your immediate control.

Believe it or not, it is possible for each and every one of us to achieve these goals, and much, much more. As the Chinese Proverb says – “ A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step”, and here at Wellbeing at Work we take great pride in being able to help individuals, teams and organisations in taking that “first step”.

Through our webinars, training programmes, coaching and talks, we invite you to explore and experience some of the latest thinking, and scientific research into key areas of wellbeing, such as Energy Management, Resilience, the Mind-Body connection, Stress Management and Mindfulness, to name but a few.

If you would like to find out more about how to experience Wellbeing at Work, please get in touch.

What Is Wellbeing?

Wellbeing means many things to many people, and while academic debate continues about precisely how ‘wellbeing’ should be defined, here at W@W, we like to think of wellbeing as a constantly changing dynamic process that governs both our internal and external worlds. This dynamic process is orchestrated through the interaction between four distinctive, yet completely interrelated,  “aspects of self”  – or wellbeing domains – which go to make up you, the whole you.

These 4 wellbeing domains are:

Physical

The physical  – explores what we do with, and to our bodies, and how our bodies are in constant communication with – and affected by – our minds and our environment.

We help you to create positive habits around:

Nutrition, exercise, sleep; establishing practical ways to nurture and restore our physical energy and resilience.

Mental

The mental  – explores how we can observe and work with our thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, compulsions and imagination. We look at the emerging field of Neuroscience, and how it is possible to rewire our brains, change our habitual thinking and self-talk, and manage our cognitive processes in a way which works for us, not against us.

We help you to create positive habits around:

Managing our relationship with unhelpful thoughts; reducing mental chatter and stress; and how to work with the unconscious mind in order to bring about more effective and positive outcomes in our lives.

Emotional

The emotional  – explores our relationships with emotions, both as feelings and as physical sensations, and how this dual experience reinforces the Mind Body connection.

We help you to create positive habits around:

Emotional Intelligence (EI), positivity, learned optimism, and emotional resilience.

Spiritual

The spiritual  – a secular, non-religious exploration of the importance of such things as gratitude and appreciation, values, and our sense of purpose in life.

We help you to create positive habits around:

Connection to others, the world and ourselves; aesthetic and peak experiences; reflection and creativity; higher purpose; and what we can do to create rich, full and meaningful lives.

“You can always tell whether a person can work with a company on a question as profound as wellbeing by how they act themselves. Those that truly understand wellbeing act it in their everyday life and habits. Mark is such a person. He is insightful, compassionate and thoughtful and he brings these inner qualities into his practice with people and with companies.”

Mark Edgerton

Mark Edgerton

Director

Mark is dynamic, engaging and emotionally intelligent facilitator and coach. He is a highly qualified complementary therapist, and therapies teacher, with a track record in Mindfulness, wellbeing and resilience, energy management and personal development. Mark works with individuals and organisations to maximise potential for personal and business productivity.

In 2008, Mark completed a clinical training at Harvard University, in the groundbreaking and paradigm-shifting subject of Mind Body Medicine. Mind Body Medicine explores and examines the two-way connection between our physical bodies and the functioning of the mind – how we think and feel affects our physiology, and what we do to, and with our bodies, affects the way we think and feel. If we know this, then we can start to work intelligently and mindfully with this connection, and begin to design for ourselves lives where stress can be managed successfully, and where we feel calm and think clearly.

One of Mark’s core values is “helping people to help themselves”. In his work, Mark draws upon years of study and experience, and has a gift for distilling the essence of complex science and research, and delivering this information in a way that is both compelling and relevant for his clients. He believes that each and every one of us can be – and must be – responsible for our own wellbeing, and he enjoys working with clients to identify, develop and embed positive behaviours and habits, and helping them to enhance their physical and psychological wellbeing and resilience.
