I believe this has empowered me as a Leader. I'm not only more in tune with myself, but also with my team and the wider community. I am writing to share my experience having recently worked with Kerry (Inner Harmony) to bring balance to my wellbeing and provide context around some of the influences in my life that I wasn’t really aware of.  The importance of being open and engaging can’t be emphasised enough.  It enabled me to understand more about things influencing my physical and mental wellbeing.   This is an important thing for me and has helped bring balance to a pretty intense job and is allowing me to make space for life balance. Being more in tune with my mind and body , including how I kick start and close out my day as well as using some de-stressing techniques that I use anytime, are now a habit.  I believe it has empowered me as a Leader. I’m not only in tune with myself but in tune with others in my team and more widely in the community. Sharing some of this experience and key learnings with others is letting others benefit from my experience.  We can all be life coaches. I found Kerry to be sensitive, engaging and respectful.  At no time did I feel uncomfortable in our conversations despite the exploration of sometimes very personal experiences.  Thank you!

The group of managers had been asking for something more than resilience workshops or EAP counselling, and I know it's been hugely helpful. I loved the Wellbeing Series.  I have utilised Kerry for personal 1-on-1 coaching, so the content resonates with me and I found it hugely beneficial to be reminded or have re-enforcement of learnings and coping mechanisms we had previously covered together. I found it cemented the personal strategies I am using daily and has forced me to re-visit some. Overall, the workshops have made me stronger and more resolute in my self-belief across the Four Pillars of Wellbeing /Te Whare Tapa Wha.  The lower and upper mind cycles are something I consistently focus on and have experienced huge benefit to my overall mental and emotional wellbeing as a result.  The stress response information was a real eye opener, in particular, the full view of what actually happens in the body. I personally think all staff would benefit from the Wellbeing Series.  The group of managers had been asking for something different, something more than resilience workshops or EAP counselling, and I know its been hugely helpful for those who have engaged in the learnings. My experience of Kerry as a Health & Wellness facilitator was just beautiful, life changing. I have so much respect and admiration for Kerry and her work.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of the workshops.  My personal wellbeing is an area of focus for me currently.  The content resonates with me strongly and has helped me not only with tools to support my wellbeing, but to understand that everyone is on their own journey, and that an individual’s wellbeing is often reflected in their interactions with others.  I am not a judgmental person by nature but am more mindful now than ever before that what a person expresses outwardly can be a reflection of what is going on for them internally. I am finding the tracking tools really helpful.  I regularly follow these practices, and refer to the workbooks frequently.  There's a lot to take in, and to get the most of out of these learnings I am aware this is something I must continue to do and incorporate into my daily routine.  I have enjoyed looking inward. I absolutely think it would be helpful for others to complete the wellbeing series. This type of program is not one that I've come across before in a workplace setting, and offering it is reflective of how far we have come in terms of acknowledging the importance of supporting staff wellbeing, and the willingness to try something different. My experience of Kerry as a facilitator and presenter was highly professional, relatable, and captivating.  Kerry's passion and expertise in this type of work is obvious.
