“I volunteered to become a thriving champion because I wanted to support our people during these challenging times to bounce back quickly and grow. The thriving coaching model is excellent, it helps people to find their own intrinsic motivation and customise a personal plan to be at their best. The feedback from the sessions run by all the thriving champions has been incredible, it’s made a big difference quickly to the culture within Consulting, supporting individuals and teams to thrive. For me personally, attending and delivering the thriving training really opened my eyes to what was impacting on my wellbeing and enabled me to put some actions in place that have really helped me feel in control and much more able to cope in my day to day work.”

“It rekindled the fire in me!“

“I really like the coaching approach and coming up with my own solutions, sometimes in sessions like this I feel like I’m being talked at or told what to do.”

“I found the session BRILLIANT! Great balance of group work, video and personal reflection time. I fed back to our Leadership that it’s a must for everyone, especially in these times.”

“I got a big buzz; an injection of energy and motivation from the workshop.”

“I thought it was a bloody brilliant programme and though I was planning on doing 1 module every few days, I was completely engrossed and smashed through it all in one sitting, doing all the exercises in between! Thank you :-)”

“When I came into the session I was in quite a dark place and now I have an action plan which I believe will have a big effect and I will be starting it as soon as I leave this room!”

“It’s been inspirational for me. Because we know what we ‘can’ do but this gave me a really timely reminder that pretty much everything is in my control and I can turn everything around.”

“Really good session. What was most useful for me is setting out my action plan. I’d usually set out an end goal – ‘this is what I want it to be like’ however this has helped me realise that by setting up the small actions and building towards it rather than just having the end goal out there on it’s own will be much more effective. That will be really good for me to be able to make the change I want happen.. “

thriving has helped my wellbeing. When I started the course I was feeling quite low and lost. I’ve recently started a new role in my organisation and I was spending a lot of time feeling ‘defeated’. For a positive and happy person, I was feeling really fatalistic! Since starting the thriving programme I have reengaged with my meditation and yoga practice (which I stopped during lockdown), I’ve been exercising and eating healthier, waking up with a clearer mind and actively being more mindful. If an unhappy thought creeps into my head, I think of Mark. So thriving has been the best improvement to my wellbeing since the beginning of the first lockdown!
