“Opening Minds, Not Filling Gaps”

Minds are like parachute, if they are closed, they won’t hold you up. Opening up inwardly in yourself, you will find you possess exactly what it is you desire. It is important to relate what is going inside you in order to be what you are and able to govern your own emotional reaction. There is only one person whom you can trust to have your best interests at heart all the time and that is yourself. To quote, “You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection”. We are typically kind and compassionate to others but unkind and incompassionate to ourselves. Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) @ Workplace is a process of living and not a preparation for future life. You do not know why you are exhausted. You are fighting a war inside your head, every single day. If that is not exhausting, I do not know what it is. I do not think you understand how stressful it is to explain what is going on in your head when you do not even understand it yourself. Have you ever had the experience of being so caught up in thinking about how you should act in a situation that you felt disconnected from the moment or actually missed out on something that happened? Stop struggling and start thriving in the workplace.  Acceptance as part of ACT processes, even if it is painful, only then you can look at what is actually there in front of you, here and now. ACT is a way to assist you, not the way

“Invest in the 21st century skills that your workforce needs”

Employees are often provided with the necessary training to do their work and yet they could not focus and engage in their work, hence affecting the performance outcomes. What sort of skills that are required for improved productivity, employment growth and development in the 21st century? How can work experiences be improved to promote mental health and wellbeing? How to create a Mentally Healthier Workplace? How to use ACT in the workplace to benefit your workforce? Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) Programme in the workplace is an empirically supported technique in group format setting based on principles and practice of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. ACT enables employees to find effective coping skills that will help them build resilience and thrive in the workplace. ACT improves productivity in the workplace through skill development in psychological flexibility. ACT optimises mechanisms for positive behavioral change. ACT is for all levels of workforce in the workplace.

Through this personal message, I hope you will ‘take it to heart’ as the best and most beautiful thing in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the ‘heart’. I hope we can work together in creating the best possible innovative opportunities and positively shaping the workplace as a Mentally Healthier
Workplace.

A heartfelt thank you and appreciation for taking your time to read my personal message and training programmes. Join the ACT Wellbeing Workshops to explore the ACT approaches in an interesting, accessible, interactive and fun way. I look forward to seeing you at 2-day ACT Wellbeing Workshops.

“ Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect.”
