About this Event
You deliver. You stay composed. You push through.
And somewhere along the way, pressure became normal.
Most of us try to manage stress with our heads: more planning, more discipline, one more podcast. But pressure doesn't live in your to-do list. It lives in your body, in your breath, your shoulders, your jaw, long before it turns into burnout.
In this 90-minute workshop you'll learn to read those signals and work with them.
What you'll take home:
*Recognise your own stress pattern through the four Energy Signatures: Performing,
Bracing, Depleted and Grounded Power
*Short practices you can use between meetings, in two minutes or less
*A simple way to talk about pressure without it sounding like weakness
Agenda:
1. Arrive and land what pressure feels like in your body right now
2. Why thinking your way out of stress doesn't work: the nervous system in plain words
3. The four Energy Signatures: which one are you in, and when?
4. Practice: tools you can use at your desk
5. Taking it back into your working week
No experience needed. Wear comfortable clothes. Everything happens seated or standing; nothing is forced, and you choose how far you go.
Before you come: take the free Work Pressure Scan and discover the nervous system pattern shaping your work under pressure. We'l use your result in the session. [https://whole-shift.lovable.app/]
Want to go deeper? This workshop is a taste of WholeShift, a 4-week body-based programme for a small group of women. It builds the same skill step by step:
Week 1 · Noticing: recognise your body's signals before your mind turns them into a story. The quiet yes that feels open, the quiet no that feels tight.
Week 2 · Feeling safely: stay with what you feel without getting flooded or shutting
down, and give it a simple name: tight, heavy, buzzing, flat.
Week 3 · Trained self vs true self: feel the difference between what sounds right in
your head and what is actually true for you.
Week 4 · Integration: use it when pressure hits. Notice the signal, pause, reset,
choose one small next step.
Structured but light, and designed to fit a full working life. More at whole-shift.me.
