Learn 5 great strategies you can put into practice today to manage stress and overwhelm.
Most of us know what it’s like to feel stressed, stuck, unfulfilled, to overreact or to be unproductive. Statistics tell us repeatedly that we face these issues on a daily basis.
The daily life we’re living is full of change, expectation, digital distraction, disconnection and challenges us on a regular basis.
We can suffer from mass distraction, negative mindsets and feel disconnected from who we are and where we want our life to be. Our relationships, quality of work and sense of fulfillment suffer and this flows into our relationships, families, workplaces and communities.
But there’s a way to make it easier for ourselves. And the answer is Mental Fitness.
If you’re not physically fit, you’ll feel physical stress as you climb a steep hill. If you’re not mentally fit, you’ll feel mental stress as you try to manage life’s daily challenges. Mental Fitness makes our days run more smoothly, with more agile thinking and a better approach to problem solving. It makes us stronger so we are happier partners, individuals and workers.
Mental Fitness is a web of competencies, including daily wellbeing rituals and personal development that influence how we conduct ourselves and manage life daily, at home and in the workplace. These skills are essential for anyone who would like to feel more connected, fulfilled, and confident in knowing who they are and what they want from their life. Our training focuses on who people are, as opposed to what they are trained in.
Sue was absolutely brilliant, I took away a lot of great tips and techniques. Very resourceful and she’s just plain lovely, I thought that session was great and we needed that extra boost. Please thank her again, for sharing her heart-wrenching experience with us and showing us, we can come out at the end of a tunnel and be more resilient. She gave us tips for work and in life as well. Fantastic!

Sue recently presented a workshop to our entire team, everybody without exception got great insight out of it and were very engaged through-out the talk. Our staff commented that it was great to get a reminder about the important ways to look after your own mental health, and that it was done in a fun and positive way. Sue’s talk opened good and healthy dialogue between ourselves and staff afterwards on what can be construed as a very tough and personal subject, so we were highly grateful for Sue’s expertise guiding us through that Post Covid lockdown felt it was a perfect time for Sues message that we have to look after our own personal mental fitness as well as our physical fitness. Sues workshop was a great blend of her own personal experiences, statistics on mental health, what seeing now and practical tips. Highly recommend for any work place!

I wanted to thank you for the workshop yesterday. There are some very strong parallels with what you are talking about and recent personal discoveries and changes that I have made. A friend recommended the event and to be honest I wasn’t expecting what you offered, but it was fantastic. Thank you for what you do.

Sue’s clear communication skills were appreciated by small SME and multi national business owners, stakeholders, her colleagues and management. Sue’s intellect and ability to create clear processes enabled the numerous projects running concurrently to flow smoothly. She engaged the support of contractors as required and naturally filled the role of leader amongst her peers and colleagues. Motivated and driven by outcome, Sue provided regular and appropriate feedback to management.

We were really lucky to have Sue talk to us all at the New Zealand Chartered Accountants (NZCA) conference in Hamilton. The presentation was lively and relevant and kept us all on our toes. Sue handled some very difficult subject matter and did so with the utmost sensitivity. To say she had us engaged and left us thinking would be an understatement. We were so impressed that we engaged Sue to present to our business. We felt that the message and content was so important that we invited our team, their partners and teenage / adolescent children. The feedback at both events was overwhelmingly positive. We have been asked to include more content of this nature at the NZCA conferences (No mean feat when the fact that the conference is full of accountants is considered). We cant thank you enough.

Thank you for the couple of hours that you spent with us yesterday. The learnings – or reminders from your session, were invaluable & very much appreciated. After lunch I went for a walk for 30 mins – I often eat my lunch at my desk & whilst I know it’s a bad habit, if often feels there’s so much work on the go. At the end of yesterday, approx. 7 of us went for a walk around the base track of Mt Maunganui, before heading to drinks & dinner with the remainder of the team. Without doubt, exercise, fresh air and smelling the surroundings is good for one. Thanks again. Fantastic.

I first meet Sue on a First Aid for Mental Health workshop and instantly connected with her. At the time our organisation was looking at how we could help people in the Plumbing industry in the Mental Health space. With Sue’s extensive experience and passion for mental health and wellbeing, Sue was the perfect person to help us get our programme of the ground! Master Plumbers now has a successful programme in place which is gaining a lot of attention out in the industry, we appreciate all the knowledge, tools and support Sue gave me and our programme!

Sue, your compassionate and grounding insight about life is a real gift. You have a ‘sixth sense’ awareness of others needs which is immensely comforting. Your honesty, drive and results-driven character is inspiring and it’s an honor to call you my “coach”.

We were lucky to have Sue take several workshops for us last year, and with such great feedback we had to get her back again this year! Sue has a lovely style full of personal anecdotes. Many thanks again for your help.

I found my sessions with Sue incredibly thought provoking and meaningful in ways I hadn’t expected. I’m often reflecting on things we discussed and see very clearly how those conversations have had a positive impact in the way I approach things both professionally and personally. Her honest, no-nonsense approach is paired with a kind and thoughtful manner which both challenges and supports – I highly recommend Sue!
Jennifer Palmer
General Manager
Sue is particularly good at looking at the business as a whole and sees clearly what can be improved. She has helped me with the ways to have conversations. Sue found out what I wanted and then partnered with me towards my goals. She is a great listener. She has been worth the money I paid for and more! Sue’s manner is professional and friendly and I would recommend her to anybody wanting to elevate their performance and turnover.

“When I started my coaching with Sue I was at a very low point in my life, lacking direction and motivation. I literally bounced out of our first meeting feeling supported and full of new hope – a feeling that grew with each session. I valued Sue’s insightful and empathetic approach and her ability to help me challenge my self limiting beliefs that had been holding me back for years. Sue helped me optimize my performance at work, providing practical tools and techniques – I am now better organised and no longer feel overwhelmed by my workload. She also helped me achieve success with preparing for and excelling in an important exam. With Sue’s help I have a new approach to my finances and am debt free. I am also steadily achieving and my personal and professional goals and have a clear sense of direction and purpose that I’ve never had before. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone and am deeply appreciative of the opportunity I had to work with her.”

Sue is an expert at helping you to understand and nurture your own wellbeing! She helped me to identify the neglected areas of my life, get back in touch with who I am, and to make a plan to thrive going forward. Perhaps my favourite part of all of it was figuring out what my values are – this has both helped me spend my time in more meaningful ways, and helped me to understand more about why I operate the way that I do. I’m enormously grateful to Sue for all of her help and guidance. I highly recommend her services for anyone who’s willing to invest their time & energy into doing the mahi & self-reflection required for her exercises.
