Resilience and Confidence Workshops

“Sally recently delivered a wellbeing, stress mgt, productivity & 'deep work' workshop to the team at my agency. Sally's knowledge, delivery and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and engaged meant that the morning was a complete success. We all came away with a better understanding of factors at play and new tools to help us in our day-to-day roles. Thanks Sally, looking forward to the next one!”

“We invited Sally to present on our GP education programme and she has proven a fantastic resource for our trainee GPs. Negotiating the complexities of patients in a sometimes difficult medico-legal climate can lead to doctor burnout, and with Sally's help, our trainees feel more confident in understanding why patients act as they do. This is critical to understanding our patients' sometimes challenging and frustrating behaviour. A real strength is her ability to engage our audience and tailor her sessions to us. She encourages deep thought and reflection in our trainees long after her sessions, and her sessions are well regarded.”

“Sally delivered a number of sessions to solicitors in an in house legal team focused on stress management and making stress your friend. Sally is a warm presenter and gave delegates individual attention. She created a comfortable environment by limiting the size of each group. She didn't pack too much into her presentation - just a few slides but with varied and interesting content. This allowed her to be flexible in her approach - to respond to questions from delegates who had different needs and to tell us about about some techniques to make an immediate difference to managing stress. Sally's background as a solicitor was really useful. She was able to talk about stresses from her own experience and you knew that she had been there. Sally was perfectly willing to work with me on what would be most useful to the delegates attending, current issues facing the team and tweaking the content after the first session. I'd really recommend Sally for this sort of introductory training on stress management.”

“Sally came to our team wide team away day to deliver her resilience training which was a huge success. We’re a big team (well over 100) of mixed roles and experience and Sally adapted her session to accommodate our group size and the time allocation (no mean feat when the inevitable tech issues arose!) Sally maintained a personal and engaging approach which encouraged colleagues to feel at ease and she ensured the workshop’s content was accessible and of a suitably pitched level to allow colleagues to meaningfully reflect. It was a welcome respite from more traditional CPD activities and feedback from the day was that colleagues appreciated the opportunity to reflect on themselves and took away practical tools for the future.’ ”

“After hearing Sally speak at Material Source about imposter syndrome, it was clear from her approachable style and language how her insights could benefit higher education students, particularly those who are about to join the design industry. Our students often struggle with confidence, as to them their work is never truly "finished," and they face intense pressure due to the deep personal investment they have in their work. Sally can effectively contextualise anxieties across various professions and tailors her approach to each talk and workshop audience. On hearing that Sally would be speaking to our students, the overwhelming response was: "I wish I had this at university." Students from across the design department attended Sally’s talk which was positively received. While the workshop was exclusive to students, their reflections have directly influenced our planning and approach for future years. The session was frequently mentioned in student tutorials, with many highlighting how it helped them recognise and manage their anxieties. I only wish every student could have this experience!”

“Sally has been an extremely professional and warm presenter, excelling at delivering a wealth of helpful information in a consistent manner with a personal touch.”

“The session was enlightening and if nothing else it taught me that we are all subject to the inner critic! I found the writing exercise really useful and cathartic.”

“"Absolutely loved Sally's session" "The building resilience session was excellent. Sally was was great!" "I thought Sally Heady was an excellent facilitator and I think she'd be great to use again in different formats"”

“Working with Sally has been an absolute pleasure. Our aim was to enhance confidence and resilience within the technical team, we were initially uncertain about the most appropriate approach and cautious an overly gentle approach that would have limited impact. However, Sally reassured us and committed significant time to thoroughly understand the teams requirements and creating a bespoke workshop. Additionally, in the weeks following the workshop, we have continued to see her methods being actively applied, helping to establish a strong and lasting foundation for our team.”
