about the course

In high-performing teams, people feel safe, supported and motivated; not stressed, burnt out or fearful of failing. This session helps managers and leaders foster that kind of culture: where mental wellbeing is part of the fabric of day-to-day working life. Strong performance is seen as something we build together, not squeeze out under pressure.

We’ll explore how to make wellbeing visible and valued, not just a tick-box. That includes how to talk about it as part of team meetings, how to respond when someone raises an issue, and how to model the kind of behaviour that encourages balance, boundaries and resilience. You’ll also learn how to have clear, kind performance conversations that keep expectations high while still allowing flexibility and compassion.

Through practical examples, discussion and reflection, participants will leave with real-world tools to help them strengthen their leadership, build trust and support their team to thrive — mentally, emotionally and professionally.
