The Economic Down-Turn and Mental Health

For a long time people in New Zealand enjoyed a good life! After all, aren’t  we living in ‘Godzone”? Yes, we are still living in one of the most beautiful places in the world. However, the world-wide economic down-turn also effects us in li’l old New Zealand. Lots of people who struggled for years with their mental and physical health know the impact of financial insecurity and (-hopefully-) have a fair understanding of how/where to get help, and what they can do to help themselves.

Finding Happiness

When you struggle with depression, either mild or more severe, you are facing a serious health risk now and in your future. To prevent that to happen, you will have to start fighting your depression with all your might. You can start by getting our FREE workbook "Fighting Depression Through Authentic Happiness".

In the workbook you will receive 11 strategies that you can easily incorporate into your daily life that have proven to combat depression.

This is an educational course that is based on changing the way you focus on your experiences and the world around you. It means changing habits that often have been formed early in childhood and may be hard to shift. It is therefore important that you go away from each session and practice over the week the steps you have learnt. You have to practice the steps by completing the exercises in this work and by practicing them in real life situations.

The Key to Fighting Depression
is to Develop a Positive Mindset!

Teams: Resilience

The face of the corporate world and therefore work place conditions are rapidly changing. Constant pressure to 'produce better, more, and quicker' with shrinking resources puts enormous pressure on companies, organisations, and employees. A job that existed yesterday may be gone by tomorrow.

Team: Communication

A communication is only as good as its outcome. Like in a tennis match there are certain rules to be observed in the communication match. Certain skills are needed and a certain level of fitness has to be present for a match to flow and bring results. Whether you play on a club level, inter-club level, national level, or international level - you have to keep honing your skills to improve your game.

Teams: Understanding others

The normal progression from focusing on the Self is to invite others into one's life. Because human beings are social beings, we can actually not survive very well without meaningful connections with others. Research has shown that happiness, physical well-being, and mental health depend largely on the ability to establish and maintain close and successful relationships.

Teams: Self-Awareness

Successful communications and successful relationships are based on the level of self-understanding each individual brings into a social situation. Only clarity about one's 'baggage' and personality make-up ensures that we react to the "OTHER" without too much over-lay of filters, prejudices, and projections.

Free Test: Are You Visual / Kinaesthetic/ Auditory?

Many models are used to categorise people. I will share with you today the model of perceptional positions. This model distinguishes between people according to what main perceptional channel they use to interact with the world. This has been widely used in learning and teaching and is known as the VAK (V=visual, A=auditory, and K=Kinaesthetic) model.
