Wellbeing weeks. Some people love them, some not so much. Sometimes they are great, and sometimes they fizzle out.
Is it time to move on from wellbeing weeks, or do we need to do them differently?
Perhaps it is time to ask our staff not what they want to do, but instead, how they want to feel so we can offer what they need.
Dive into this week's episode to hear more.

July 01, 2023 What is Your Welllness Strategy?
‘Do you have a wellness strategy to support your desired state of wellbeing or are you hoping that ad hoc, sporadic activities and events will be enough, hence, leaving it to chance?

Your wellbeing strategy needs to be planned, and whilst it may require hard work, it shouldn’t be hard. Yes, you know you should exercise more and perhaps it might feel hard, yes, it may feel a little tricky to initially set boundaries, and yes, it may cause a bit of stress, to begin with as you stop checking emails in the evening. However, as you build these habits, you will realise the hard work becomes easier and once established all these things combine to make up your wellness strategy and support your overall wellbeing.
Your daily actions, habits and rituals are always impacting your wellbeing. Therefore, taking time to consider the wellbeing state you're trying to create and how to do this is essential.

June 15, 2023 The Missing Step to Creating Change
In the human behaviour space and in coaching we often refer to a process called integration.

This is where we take what we've learnt and integrate it into our being. We move what we learn from knowledge to practice so it becomes part of who we are.
This is a crucial part of the change process, and one that is valued, given time for and reflected on before moving on to something else.

In schools, however, this valuable step is often overlooked.

In the episode, Amy shares how and why to use integration as a step in the change process.

June 05, 2023 What it means to take responsibility, live with purpose, and manage your mind with Emily Chadbourne
In this episode, Emily and I chat about so many things that make up who we are. From unlearning to relearning, questioning everything and how to manage your mind. This episode was a real treat for me as Em has been in my world for a really long time and was one of my very first mindset coaches. She is incredible and this episode is filled with wisdom, insights, and gems everyone needs to hear.
(Also, this episode comes with a language and content warning)

Meet Emily Chadbourne
Emily Chadbourne used to be a bit of an idiot (in her own words).
At 34 years old, she realised that no one was going to rescue her from her crappy waitressing job or her crappy life. She had to do it.
Now, she shows other women how to consciously cultivate their businesses, relationships and inner strength, an evolution she calls becoming ‘unashamedly human’.
Emily’s no BS, sassy approach and honest accounts of the REAL world of love, life and business are often hilarious and always valuable.
Originally from London, Emily now lives in Melbourne where she works internationally as a mindset coach.
Find out more about Emily here.

May 15, 2023 The 3 P's of Staff Wellbeing Transformation
Without the 3 P's you are likely to be hoping, waiting, or wishing things will be different. This isn't enough. Completing a one-day PD and seeing things instantly change isn't common. As an individual, or collectively in your workplace or school, you need to plan, prioritise, and participate long-term if you want transformation to occur.
How you can work with me and my team:
'Leading Staff Wellbeing; A guided enquiry to elevate and transform staff wellbeing and culture' will require participants and all staff to plan, prioritise and participate in the transformation of staff wellbeing and culture in their school. We start term 3. Find out more here.
Free Webinar Opportunity:
If the above sounds good, I am also running a free webinar on Monday May 22nd at 4pm. You can register here.

May 12, 2023Productivity, working differently, and getting the most out of your day with Donna McGeorge
In this episode, Donna and I chat about productivity and how to maximise time to have more space to do what you love. We also talk about why taking breaks are essential to how we work, feel, and live. Donna believes thriving workplace wellbeing allows you to have the time, space and capacity to show up as your best self in all aspects of your life. Her 3 messages are:
You are the boss of you and your choices

You need to build in a 15% buffer to your world.

Focus on the clock in your body not the one on the wall.

Meet Donna McGeorge
Donna believes it’s about time we got off the vicious cycle of being out of control, overwhelmed and at risk of failing at the important things.
She is passionate about enhancing the large amount of time we spend in our workplace (too much, for many) to ensure it is effective and productive, as well as enjoyable.
She lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland, a region known for its world-class beaches, but her most creative moments come while sipping tea on her balcony, gazing at the waterways, alongside her husband, Steve, and dog, Prudence.
Donna believes that workplaces are complex, but not hard. More often than not it’s getting the simple things right, consistently, that has the greatest impact.
She also knows that when we decide to be intentional, we can surprise ourselves with what we can achieve.
Author of 11 books and publications, including bestsellers The 25-Minute Meeting, The First 2 Hours and the 1 Day Refund.
