Dealing with Change and Uncertainty
Natural England and Somerfield
The Insight:

Exploring the physical mechanisms for engaging core support to maintain posture, and using the Physical Intelligence techniques of ‘flex and flow’ enables delegates to achieve personal resilience, build confidence and trust in others and unlock new thinking to achieve intelligent, forward facing results.
Natural England
The Challenge:
To increase strategic influence and confidence of management teams, during the transition from English Nature to Natural England.
The Approach:
A series of 2-day off site workshops to generate a creative approach to change using modules; Brain/ Body Creativity Workout, Head to Head, I’ll Lead You Follow. There is Nothing Permanent Except Change, Metamorphosis – Anchoring Change.
The Response:
“I had a meeting on my first morning back. I applied the techniques learned and was really able to listen – I have excellent recall of the meeting and an ‘embodied’ clarity about the decisions we made.”
“This pushed my boundaries, used unique techniques (at least to me) and has left me with much to think about and several things to do.”
Somerfield
The Challenge:
Prior to a merger with the Co-op, Somerfield launched a series of lunch and learn sessions to maintain employee engagement during a period of restructuring and redundancies.
The Approach:
A series of Physical Intelligence sessions delivered on site, in conjunction with Vybrant. Your Physical Intelligence, Breathing and Living, Posture and Presence, Concept of ‘I’, MOT (Tension Mapping), Voice & Influence, Nutrition and Healthy Eating.
The Response:
“The session changed how I felt about my day. I came out with more energy, and tools to deal with times when I feel de-motivated.”
“I really felt the change in my mind and body just from doing the exercises – felt more calm.”
