A SIX-STEP COMPLETE GUIDE TO WELLNESS & WELLBEING - PERSONALLY & PROFESSIONALLY
COVID-19 has forced a world upon us like never before. The mental, physical, social, intellectual and environmental health of billions of people has been adversely affected. As the world opens up, the focus turns to those affected and how we can ensure they continue to thrive, post-pandemic.
Our Pillars
This course addresses 6 Pillars of wellbeing:
Physical - your physical health, fitness and nutrition.
Emotional - your mental health
Intellectual - your pursuits, learning and development
Environmental - your surroundings
Social - your social and family life
Work-life balance - the balance you strike and the things you prioritise.
Course and Module structure
Our five module, CPD accredited course is designed to be taken chronologically and build on skills learned throughout. The course will leave participants with a better understanding of the theory of wellbeing but critically, the tools and techniques to implement change in their own lives.
Each 60-90 minute module will begin with a meditation session, followed by outlining of key learning objectives, after which we will dive deeper into practical, real world applications to take home and practice. We will wrap each session with a reflection and journaling, to cement the day’s learning, before giving tasks to be completed in between sessions.
