Programmes

Overview

We offer a variety of concise and more comprehensive programmes and initiatives which enable individuals, teams and organisations to achieve higher performance, reduce stress and build resilience. All of the programmes outlined below will be specifically tailored to your organisation's needs and strategic aims.

In addition to the programmes listed below, we can also help you to design or to embed HeartMath into your Change, Wellbeing and Learning and Development agendas. Embedding HeartMath can add real because it is a practical tool which helps managers and leaders to actually "do" and "be" the things that they are taught. HeartMath actually enables people to be emotionally intelligent, flexible in their behaviours, creative/innovative, cognisant of risk, balanced in perspective and effective in communication. It bridges the gap between "knowing" and "doing". This is important since most training programmes typically produce lots of knowledge and understanding but they are less successful at actually producing behaviour change. HeartMath therefore adds real value, increases ROI and, most importantly, increases the benefits for your people.

Revitalise You! The HeartMath Solution for Building Resilience & Transforming Stress

Revitalise You is a five-hour video-based online program. The programme teaches the physiology of stress, resilience and performance and a practical skill‐set to respond dynamically and effectively to complexity, pressure, emotional challenge and change. The program is self-directed, visually engaging and easy to follow. The award winning emWave technology provides employees with real‐time feedback on their progress.

Transforming Stress into Resilience: Group Workshop

A classroom based programme which enables participants to learn how to apply coherence-building skills on demand and to monitor their performance with the emWave technologies. By the end of the workshop participants will understand how to reduce stress, enhance resilience and performance, improve health and well-being and build effective relationships with colleagues and clients.

Physiology of Peak Performance: Programme accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management

Our most comprehensive programme is designed for individuals who wish to master the use of HeartMath. The programme provides a flexible 3-level “escalator” approach to learning. Each level is designed to provide increasingly deep and sophisticated learning and practice. Delegates are free to decide how many levels they wish to progress through and pricing is adapted accordingly. The programme is described below.

Day 1 - Learning Outcomes

· Recognise what impacts your ability to perform at your peak.

· Understand the latest research on stress, resilience, psycho-physiological health and cognitive function and how these factors impact upon performance.

· Appreciate the breadth of approaches to stress management.

· Explore the science behind heart-brain communication.

· Understand how building resilience and “coherence” is one of the scientifically validated key to sustained individual and organisational performance and wellbeing.

· Learn and practice 2 basic HeartMath techniques. These will help you to manage your emotional state, think more clearly and make better quality decisions under pressure.

· Explore the numerous benefits and applications of using HeartMath both personally and professionally.

· Create a personal practice plan that enables you to maintain and develop these skills.

Day 2 and 3 Learning Outcomes

· Personally demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the physiology of performance, specifically psycho-physiological coherence, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and the importance of heart-brain communications.

· Explain the HeartMath system and its scientific underpinnings in a clear, concise and coherent way to individuals unfamiliar with HeartMath.

· Explain the emWave® technologies and functionality to others.

· Learn and practice 4 further HeartMath techniques and therefore understand how to develop intelligent strategies to improve communication, leadership and performance within organisations.

· Use the emWave desktop® biofeedback technology to manage your emotional state, think more clearly, make quality decisions under pressure and develop and maintain sustained psycho-physiological coherence.

· Explore the numerous applications and benefits of using HeartMath within a personal, professional and organisational context.

· Explore case studies proving the impact and ROI of HeartMath.

· Develop your personal practice plan that enables you to maintain and develop these skills personally and help others to do so.

Day 4 Follow-Up Learning Outcomes

· Present and share your findings about your experiences of both yourself and others performing under pressure and stress.

· Create a dialogue around the nature of true peak performance and what we can do to support ourselves and others in this increasingly stressful world.

· Share you experience of using the HeartMath techniques and technologies and other stress management/ wellbeing techniques

· Understand how you might introduce HeartMath and other wellbeing initiatives into an organisation.

Bespoke skill programmes

The beauty of the HeartMath system is that it can be applied to a broad range of performance development initiatives. We therefore also offer programmes that specifically focus on how to use HeartMath to enable and enhance skills such as creativity, sales, communication and conflict resolution. In addition we can advise you how to build HeartMath into your existing training and development programmes.
