ROW’s workshops are designed for busy leaders navigating pressure, change and competing demands. They offer 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.

We recognise each audience is different, so these are provided as a guide. We’ll work with you to ensure your workshop hits the mark with your team.

Who this is for: Executive and senior leadership teams with system-level influence. Each workshop is tailored to the group.

What we focus on: This workshop looks at sustainable performance through a system lens. Leaders examine how strategy, priorities, decision-making, pace and implicit expectations shape mental load, recovery and burnout risk across teams. The focus is on healthy work design – not individual resilience – and the role executive leadership plays in enabling (or constraining) sustainable performance.

What leaders gain:

  • A clearer understanding of how pressure, mental load and recovery are shaped by leadership systems and norms
  • Insight into how executive behaviour and decision-making cascade through the organisation
  • Greater clarity on where work design and expectations may be creating hidden burnout risk
  • Shared leadership agreements that support wellbeing, recovery and sustainable performance at scale

Before & after: Pre-work to surface assumptions, norms and pressure points at the system level. A post-session review and practical prompts support alignment, follow-through and ongoing leadership conversations.

Who this is for: People leaders, teams or wellbeing champions who want to build capability in a specific area, rather than a broad overview. Each workshop is tailored to the group.

What we focus on: These sessions take a focused deep dive into key elements of sustainable performance and healthy work. Topics are selected based on your context and may include boundaries and availability, recovery planning, wellbeing conversations, cognitive load, or designing healthier ways of working. Each session explores how mental load, work demands and recovery show up in day-to-day practice – and what leaders can realistically influence.

What participants gain:

  • Practical tools and frameworks tailored to the chosen focus area
  • Greater confidence supporting wellbeing and recovery in everyday leadership conversations
  • Clear insight into pressure points and opportunities for healthier work design
  • A shared language to support consistent practice across teams

Before & after: Pre-work to clarify the focus topic and current challenges. Post-session resources and practical next steps support application, reflection and behaviour change over time.

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!

Well you did an absolutely brilliant job. We were delighted with how it went and feedback so far has been very, very positive. Thank you for truly listening and considering our requirements and getting it right for our audience. We loved working with you.

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.
