CONSIDERING WORKING

WITH A COUNSELLOR OR COACH? 

We understand how big a step it is to seek trusted external support. Our guide provides pointers of what to consider and ask. 

PERSONAL POWER

Power is rooted in our societal institutions, structures, histories and culture.

Watching the horrific footage of the killing of George Floyd in America has heightened activism to channel justifiable anger into peaceful sustained & effective action.

We appreciate this moment can be a real turning point that requires everyone to speak up.

MENTAL STAMINA

Everyone has a level of stamina that comes and goes.

When drained we can be left with little to nothing in our fuel tank.

 Imagine mental stamina like a muscle that you keep pumping, flexing and building up.

Here are simple ideas we invite you to try to build your mental stamina daily.

 Recognising your Stress Triggers

Emotions- During the pandemic

Where are you on the Change Curve?

 PERSONAL PURPOSE

The turmoil and crisis in the world and our communities has been deepening.

We’ve been noticing many people questioning and re-evaluating their place in the world. 

Considering their value and purpose.

Wth a strong desire to ditch old ways and face what has been not working to create something better, positive and purposeful for themselves, their neighbourhoods and the world.

Making ourselves a priority is brave, having an honest conversation with ourselves is brave, witnessing brave action in others can also spur us on the take braver actions in our own lives.
