7-Weeks to Resilience and Wellbeing
To be confirmed – face to face and live Online – interested? Drop me a note
Energy, happiness, engagement and motivation among other characteristics might be considered outcomes of high wellbeing and resilience – you might also say they’re ways of describing them.
This course approaches wellbeing and resilience with a holistic hat on – bringing in both physical and mental aspects, with a range of topics from mastery to emotion. It allows you to target your improvements from multiple angles and with different approaches, discovering your own path to higher wellbeing and resilience – which may well bring more energy, happiness, engagement and motivation for the things that are important in your life.
For two hours a week over seven weeks, we’ll look at practical ways of enhancing wellbeing and resilience, using our 6-Element Model, informed by modern empirical science, to create useful change in your approach to everyday life. Each week, I’ll suggest exercises or experiments you can undertake to discover the approaches that work for you. The sessions are a mix of exercises, conversation and concepts designed to make the theory real and practical.
Book on the course or contact Mark if you have questions.

Where can I contact the organiser with any questions?
If you have further questions, do get in touch using one of the options on our Contact Me page.
What if there is a week I can’t make it?
If we know you can’t make a particular week, we can ensure that you still received the notes for that week, along with the exercises. Sometimes it’s even possible to join the training online using Skype. So, don’t worry too much if you know there is one week you can’t make. If it’s two or more weeks I can’t make? Generally, it’s a good idea to book on the following course – but, every situation is different, so do contact Mark to discuss; for example it may be possible to book a number of one-to-one sessions to cover the content you won’t be able to make.
Can I reserve a place on the course?
You’re welcome to reserve a place with a deposit of £40, which will hold the place until 7 days before the course. So we ask for full payment at least 7 days prior to the course.
