Strengthening collaborative relationships with others - Moving Beyond Threat to connection, directness and mutuality
Friday, January 22, 2021
Location: online via Zoom
Building on the highly successful Beyond Threat Workshop Nelisha ran across the North West in November 2020 this workshop, based upon her newly released book – Being with Others – will continue the journey we started last year. It will enable you to consider whether your relationships are based upon reciprocal respect trust and mutual growth, or the desire to avoid responsibility for your own problems, flaws and fears.
Emerging from the impact of the pandemic gives us all the opportunity to reflect on what we have learnt about ourselves and others. Nowhere is this more important than in the relationships around us that enable us to turn up each day as our best selves[nw1] .
In this workshop you will learn to pay more attention to -- and inquire further into -- those unconscious processes that compel you to act in certain ways and how this impacts your relationships.
This workshop is for you if you want to learn new concepts and approaches that will help you strengthen your relationships with others in the workplace and move beyond threat to collaboration and mutuality.

Developing a system & culture of Quality Improvement
Wednesday, March 3, 2021
Location: online via Teams
All health care organisations are required to improve the quality of care as assessed by CQC. Many other types of organisations across the public sector are also looking at how they can improve the way they work.
It is recognised that the dosing formula and training initiatives do not, in themselves, guarantee sustained improvements in culture or care. It requires executive leaders and managers as well as clinical leaders to consistently adopt a coaching for improvement style and fororganisational conditions to be created to help staff at all levels to
embed changed behaviours into everyday practice.
What have we learnt about mental health during the pandemic?
Friday, March 5, 2021
Location: online via Teams
This event is for everyone who wants to learn more about their own responses to the pandemic and how they can better support their own mental health and the mental health of those around them. Jake Mills will discuss his accidental journey that has taken him from a depressed and suicidal comedian to Chief Executive of national mental health charity, Chasing the Stigma and the founder of the Hub of Hope, a vital resource being used by mental health trusts and organisations throughout the UK. Discussing his lived experience, Jake will highlight the power of using times of adversity as building blocks for positive change.
Following the keynote, participants will be tasked to think about how they could approach their work differently, with the service user in mind. Looking at simple and effective steps they can use on a daily basis to make a difference to their own lived experience and the lived experience of others, participants will be encouraged to share their ideas and explore what solutions may be able to be introduced.
Inspiring you and your organisation to greater health and wellbeing
Friday, March 26, 2021
Location: online via Zoom
There has probably never been a more important time to invest in your own health and wellbeing and that of your staff as we emerge from a very difficult year. This masterclass is timely. It will enable leaders to learn from best practice, evidence and innovation in developing health and wellbeing strategies for themselves and their workplace.
It is a fascinating thought that employers and their workplace can have an impact on an individual's health and wellbeing as the majority of us believe that responsibility should fall on individuals yet there is a compelling case that it is in all our interests to invest in workplace health and wellbeing and to invest in a culture that promotes health. Here are some reasons why.
Sick people in organisations over 50 people cost their employer £620K per year In 2007 the Centre for Mental Health estimated that the total cost to employers of mental distress and ill health in the workplace was estimated at £26 billion each year or the equivalent of £1035 for each employee in the UK workforce.
The Department of Work and Pensions estimates that employers face a yearly bill of £9 billion for sick pay and associated costs with individuals missing out on £4 billion a year in lost earnings.
This masterclass is for you if you want to learn about what the evidence says are the best health and wellbeing strategies that work. It will help you understand how you can invest in a culture that promotes strategies for staff health and wellbeing across health, social care and local government.
At the end of the masterclass you will:
- know what works from the best available evidence
- understand what steps you can take in your own workplace to invest in health and wellbeing
