Procrastination breakthrough: Hidden pressure
Case study: Corporate wellbeing and performance (Master Me Program success story)
My future self was relying on me to commit to my goals and enabling her to be.
These are the exact words my client used after going on her 10 week Master Me journey, and words that many of us can probably relate to. After all, we go through it all for our future selves, not for simply the fun of it.
Where it all began
My client - a 49-year-old Head of Department in the banking sector - was an energetic and dedicated professional navigating significant life transitions while maintaining their leadership role.
Alongside her professional responsibilities, she was managing the complexities of family dynamics and personal change, including a marital separation. With a focus on personal and professional growth, she sought a comprehensive approach to enhance her wellbeing and performance.
Entering the Master Me Program, my client had two clear goals:
To develop strategies for navigating her personal transition with grace and to effectively support her children.
To reduce emotional and mental fatigue, refine her physical wellbeing, and enhance work performance.
From stress to curiosity and commitment to future self
Over 10 weekly sessions, we created a tailored program to help identify and manage stressors, develop healthier habits, and enhance problem-solving capabilities.
This approach included:
A Life Audit: Identified key focus areas for managing stress and risks.
Stress Management: Techniques for handling psychological and emotional demands.
Building Psychological Flexibility: Tools to adapt and thrive through change.
Emotional Intelligence Training: Enhancing understanding and management of emotions.
Personal Narrative Exploration: Examining and reshaping individual stories and beliefs.
Bias Awareness Exercises: Increasing awareness and addressing unconscious biases.
Creating Values Alignment: Ensuring alignment of personal and professional goals with core values.
Ongoing Support: Providing continuous resources and check-ins for lasting impact.
The results? While I could summarise it for you, I think my client’s feedback says more than I ever could.
“I am less distracted at work, better able to manage difficult emotions, and more committed to my strength training and healthy eating. The Master Me Program has positively impacted all areas of my life, providing a comprehensive overview that enhanced my existing practices.”
Here is what else she gained:
Curiosity and Commitment
“Being curious about my optimal future self and becoming more committed to bringing her into fruition has been powerful for keeping me accountable.”
Practical Strategies:
“The practical strategies and routines have energised me, held my focus, and increased my self-compassion. The program has equipped me to embrace challenges with greater confidence.”
Daily Practices
“I use a personalised Non-Sleep Deep Rest recording each morning and energizer breath practices to build focus and reduce coffee dependency. Box breathing helps me endure cold showers effectively.”
Positive Shifts
“I’ve shifted my negative inner dialogue to be more compassionate with myself. This has impacted all areas of my life, including work performance, coping with difficult situations, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Despite already having an executive coach, personal trainer, and yoga instructor, this program provided a holistic perspective that enhanced all my existing practices.”
Client Feedback:
This case study illustrates the profound impact of a holistic approach to wellbeing and performance, demonstrating that even experienced professionals can benefit from tailored, integrative support.
