Stress Less, Smile More (SLSM)

Aimed at individuals and/or groups
who want to manage their stress levels more effectively. Utilising a methodology based around exercising your mind (not to be confused with brain training) SLSM is designed to help you understand and learn how to quite literally stress less and smile more.

Through a combination of education, reflection, exercises and activities, you learn how to build strength and resilience of the mind in the same kind of way you would work to build strength and fitness of your physical fitness.

Not only does this programme help you manage stress much more effectively, it can also transform the way you look at every area of your life. Improve relationships, build confidence, increase productivity and effectiveness, development communication skills with all those around you (especially good with children and young people whilst also ‘freeing’ you to have more fun. In a nutshell – you will learn what you need to do consistently in order to develop healthier mental health.

Stress Less & Manage More (SLMM)

Aimed at managers and leaders
who need to gain a greater understanding of how to manage those who are struggling with their mental health whilst also developing a more resilient culture within their teams and the business.

The core focus will be around firstly understanding the most common mental health challenges seen in the workplace (Stress, Anxiety & Depression), learn what responsibility employees and employers have (legally) and how your absence/attendance policy impacts this.

You will then explore and develop skills and tools that can be used both proactively and reactively as required, to minimise the risk of absence due to mental ill-health where possible:

You will also get the opportunity to develop a Stress Less team/company wellness strategy that can be built based on your specific needs.

After going through a life changing stressful event I found this program really helped me to focus on the positive and different methods of how to erase negative thoughts and actions I hadn’t even realised I was doing. It really works if you keep telling yourself to be positive eventually it starts to happen. I found Nicky really easy to talk to and very helpful during my one to one session. Would definitely recommend.

I thought that the training was great and worked on a personal level and a way to support others. I had some knowledge of some of the content and the training reinforced these things and gave a lot more ideas for my toolbox to reduce my and other people stress levels.

I always feel that if I talk about a course and pass on any tips to others then the course has helped me and has been very beneficial and I have already passed some of these tips e.g. positive thoughts to others.

Taking part in the Stress Less, Smile More programme has led me to really consider my thoughts and language. Knowing how to monitor and audit my environment and words has really improved my ability to regulate my stress levels. I know that I am more confident with handling my own stress as a result of the course and Nicky’s reflective questioning.

In the circumstances (having to virtually take part in the course) I think the sessions were valuable. Nicky’s presentation was excellent and everything was easy to follow and understand. I have picked up some great tips for dealing with stress and to help others in my role in HR. I would recommend the course.

It was great to learn all the strategies and different powers that can affect stress levels. At no point did I feel ashamed for feeling stressed at a time when perhaps some of my stress was caused by guilt. I have already started using the tools provided and can’t wait to see the impact they have on my life.
