Condensed so many helpful strategies and reflective tasks in to a manageable 1 hour
Really enjoyed Get Your Life Back. It condensed so many helpful strategies and reflective tasks in to a manageable 1 hour. I’ve been struggling with saying no and setting boundaries. The course has helped shift my mindset and freed me of some of the guilt I was experiencing.

Key part of my efforts to find a sustainable approach to working...
When I bought the Beat Stress and Thrive course, I was aware that my thinking and approaches to work were increasingly negative, and I was repeatedly feeling overwhelmed. Every day felt like a grind, and a case of “just one foot in front of another.
The Beat Stress and Thrive course has been a key part of my efforts to find a sustainable approach to working as a senior healthcare professional.

 Now I can quickly assess what's important, what to prioritise, and what to let go
Before I started the Shapes Academy I had 13 projects on the go and 10k emails in my inbox. I was stressed, anxious and not coping. I ended up needing to take some time off, and realised things needed to change. Now, I'm back at work and using the Shapes Toolkit I've transformed my approach. My role is still extremely high pressured. In fact I now have 29 projects on the go - but I actually feel in control! I still receive 50 emails in an hour but using the tools I can quickly assess what's important, what to prioritise, and what to let go. The academy has given me the ability to be assertive, say no and mean it - reducing conflict with managers and other colleagues. I love knowing I can log on any time I want and watch a quick bite-sized video - I use the tools and resources every day.”
