Support your leaders to work well under pressure

Robust research shows people leaders play a vital role in wellbeing and performance. Yet, our research shows that only 27% believe frontline leaders are adequately equipped to lead for wellbeing.

Build your people leaders’ competence and confidence to lead and navigate.

Build sustainable leadership through constant change
– without burnout

ROW’s workshops are designed for busy leaders and teams navigating pressure, change and competing demands. Each session offers clear, practical insights and tools to help people think more clearly, manage cognitive load, and work in ways that are sustainable over time.

The approach is human-centred and evidence-led, shaped by professional expertise and lived experience. Sessions are tailored for your people leaders and the realities of your organisation – grounded, relevant, and designed to support real-world wellbeing and performance.

Sustainable performance looks different in every organisation. The sessions below outline the core focus areas, and we tailor each workshop to reflect your current demands, risks and priorities.

Designed for:
Executive and senior leadership teams.

Most leadership teams are focused on commercial delivery. Fewer look at the true cost of achieving that delivery. This workshop is ideal for senior leaders:

  • Navigating significant change
  • Operating under sustained pressure
  • Working through high-demand with limited organistional capacity

 

This session helps senior leaders:

  • Spot where pressure and risk are building across the system
  • Understand how leadership decisions shape work demands and necessary recovery
  • Reduce delivery risk without slowing momentum

Grounded in ROW’s Human Cadence Model™, this is about leading sustainable performance at scale – not pushing individuals harder.

 

Walk away with:

  • Clear visibility of system pressure points
  • Insight into hidden risks to organisational performance
  • Practical shifts to support sustainable results

 

Each workshop is tailored to the group and the organisation.

Designed for:

People leaders (team leaders, middle managers, heads of department)

Leading in the middle can feel like constant pressure – expectations from above, responsibility for people below, and competing priorities from all sides.

It’s easy to slip into firefighting mode, and over time that takes a toll on you and your team.

 

This session helps you:

  • Make sense of the load your team is carrying
  • Understand how your leadership signals shape expectations and workload
  • Lead with more clarity without adding more pressure

Grounded in ROW’s Human Cadence Model™, this session focuses on what you can influence day-to-day – while recognising the realities you’re operating within.

 

Walk away with:

  • Clear insight into where pressure is building
  • Practical ways to lead without defaulting to urgency
  • Tools to support your team’s performance over time

 

Each session is tailored to your team and organisation.

Designed for:
Individuals and teams experiencing high mental load, competing demands, and limited recovery.

Right now, many people are carrying more than just workload – they’re carrying constant mental load.

Work demands, change, life admin, and being always “on” all add up. Over time, it becomes harder to focus, decide, and show up well.

 

This session helps you:

  • Understand what’s really driving your cognitive load
  • Recognise how sustained demand impacts capacity
  • Reduce overload without needing perfect conditions

Grounded in ROW’s Human Cadence Model™, this session explores how load and recovery interact – and what that means in the real world.

 

Walk away with:

  • Clearer awareness of your capacity and limits
  • Practical ways to manage mental load day-to-day
  • Strategies you can actually use, even when work is full on

 

Each workshop is tailored to the group and the organisation.

I did want to drop a line through to say a huge thank you for your time and the session with us, after you left we ended up discussing the topic until well after 6pm and it was just awesome. The whole team took so much from it and really valued your time – thank you so, so much. Worth absolutely every cent.

That was the best professional development opportunity I have attended since starting here at UC. The quality of the content and the delivery was exceptional. A significant reflection moment for me about many concepts covered, it really was amazing – having openly experienced a ‘spectacular burn out’ myself last year I just milked that whole presentation yesterday for the golden messages kind of moment it was…self care practices not being luxuries, the shadow of a leader, healthy caring…I could go on and on!

I wanted to thank you all for making last week’s webinar such a success. I have had feedback from numerous people, both in the EMA and outside (including my partner who is a mental health professional). This unprompted feedback has all been positive, so all very welcome! The different perspectives and examples you brought resonated and different people picked out different comments or suggestions from the webinar. For me the webinar it had the great vibe of a group of friends having a good quality conversation, with professional expertise, practical examples and humour.  Which is a great way into getting business owners and managers to think about how they can help address these important issues, as well as helping us all individually. Thanks again. It is the EMA’s most viewed webinar by some way for last year.
