conscious change

When the roots are deep there is no need to fear the wind

- African proverb -

Change is inevitable, how we respond is our choice.

rooting through change

​

 

At Start Within, we offer a transformative program, called Rooting Through Change that equips people with tools to navigate rapid change & uncertainty by developing a mindset that helps enhance performance.

Stephen Kotler, bestselling author & one of the world's leading experts on peak performance & flow states says, “Mindset impacts emotion, which alters biology, which increases performance".

THE OUTCOMES

The tools shared in this program go beyond building resilience and instead focus on cultivating a mindset of anti-fragility, enabling individuals to thrive in the face of challenges, enhancing mental, emotional & physical well-being.

​

Our program brings proactive strategies to:

  • decrease stress

  • improve engagement

  • strengthen collaboration

  • unlearn to relearn

  • enhance empowerment

resulting in high-performing teams where both people & business

can flourish.

what makes this program different?

What makes this program different is that it doesn’t try to create change in people from the outside in. Rather it’s based on the thinking that we can create change from the inside out. So no matter what is going on around us if we have certain skills like self awareness or self regulation we can renew our response to rapid change. We might not always be able to change our external environment but we can change our mindset.

 

The program consists of 5 modules, either in-person or online, or a hybrid model that co-creates a safe space for authentic connection.

 

The program is designed to enable participants to:

​

  • Develop a growth mindflex - Leading to greater motivation, self-compassion & stronger performance as opposed to excessive self criticism which research shows can paralyse us, inhibiting innovation & creativity. (CHOOSE YOU)​

​Rooting Through Change Modules

​​

  • Develop self-awareness through mindfulness – Becoming aware of our thoughts means we can choose our mindset which impacts emotion & ultimately our behaviours & performance. Improved self-awareness increases emotional intelligence & a regular mindfulness practice can decrease anxiety associated with an uncertain future & improves our ability to focus. (BE YOU)​

​

  • Self-regulate difficult emotions - Decreasing a sense of overwhelm & building resilience reducing the possibility of burnout. (NICE TO MEET YOU)

 

  • Reframe challenging situations - Developing a paradox mindset that encourages a both/and approach increases our capacity for innovation & problem solving, improves resilience, grows anti-fragility & increases positivity. (THANK YOU)

 

  • Build empathy for oneself & others - Reducing “othering” in times of rapid disruptive change, contributes to positive internal & external relationships & organisational culture. (BETWEEN ME & YOU)

testimonial

Wendy's professional training as a life coach was evident during her interaction with participants. She has a deep-routed understanding and awareness of "self" and shared some key aspects of self-awareness and compassion for oneself with the participants. Her gentle, compassionate nature resonated with the audience, who all were in dire need of recognition and understanding, yet she was intentional in her engagements. She allowed the conversations to flow, providing a safe space for the audience to participate whilst effortlessly redirecting conversations to remain focused on the objectives of the webinar/workshops.
