Our team operates in a relatively complex, high functioning and, occassionally, stressful environment… and that was before remote working and isolation, which compounded the issues of our teams’ wellbeing! Gret’s structured approach to work wellness and balance was incredibly well received by the team. She was able to adapt her programme and related guidance to suit the needs of our team. She engagee our teams through interactive workshops in breathing, mindfulness and meditation, as well as introduced simple yoga concepts that could be done at our home desks to ensure our mind, body and spirit were better able to cope with the day to day stress. The team continues to reference Gret’s easy to implement toolkit as a means to feel good and perform at their best.
As head of the Field and Operations team at Michael Kors Europe, I believe a mindful team is a productive team. Gret created an introductory wellbeing programme that educated my team on the fundamentals of wellbeing and why it matters at work – as well as in daily life. She introduced a toolkit for my busy team and shared tactics to implement them easily. I believe wellness gives my team the energy we need to be the best leaders in our field and we look forward to continuing to work with Gret and Conscious Working.
Having worked with Gret previously, we knew who to approach when we decided to found our new communications consultancy in London. We wanted to apply a modern well-being approach to our workplace, one that would benefit us and our growing network of like-minded professionals. The GBCL introductory package was informative and refreshingly practical. Gret’s focus and energy gave us the tools and confidence to keep growing collectively, virtually and independently as we navigate working from home.
Gret’s weekly wellbeing practices allow my team to (virtually) get together outside the working day to talk about gratitude, worries and the ups and downs of life – it’s a safe environment to share and support each other. The team benefit from a better state of mind, and as founder, I’ve noted a positive, productive and creative response, which makes us all more effective.
Gret’s one-to-one teaching has been a revelation. Right from the start I made meaningful progress – and I look forward to the class each week. Because I’m a novice she makes sure I understand the concepts as well as the movements. Gret’s classes are fun, challenging and informative. I’m delighted to recommend her to anyone.
Gret’s meditation sessions have been refreshing and uplifting. I’ve really enjoyed the techniques, learning and energy I’ve gained from each class and feel more focussed and balanced.
Working with Gret was a total dream. She glided into my house with a cool elegance and I immediately felt at ease as we shared the juggles of being working mothers and home managers. She quickly set to work dividing up the areas of home life into sections that we could discuss and explore alternatives. Gret was a fountain of knowledge and gave me a fabulous list of easily accessible alternatives to match my daily needs. I was left feeling inspired, motivated and excited for my ever more conscious lifestyle and that my small contribution to a more sustainable way of life is attainable! Most importantly, I look forward to educating my children through my day to day choices and actions, how we can all make a difference to our planet together.
