POWERED BY SCIENCE

About Me

My extensive experience as an HR Director in Fortune 500 companies enables me to understand the challenge of the corporate world and how to create interventions that work.

Training

I equip you to thrive resiliently.

It is possible to turn up the volume on your productivity, resilience and your enjoyment at work in a balanced and sustainable way and what’s more, my methods are underpinned by scientific research, so if simply feeling the difference is not enough, I will be able to demonstrate why it is making a difference.

I have woven some of the most exciting findings from positive psychology, Olympic athletic research and the science of resilience to deliver a powerful experiential interactive program Thriving Resiliently™ which will increase performance, wellbeing and revenue. It has been tried and tested at board and senior management levels in blue chip companies and universities.

It will help you:

  • Increase your energy and resilience
  • Use your brain to its best potential, even under pressure
  • Understand your current sleep quality and improve it dramatically
  • Understand your body under stress and how to optimise it
  • Identity your strengths and learn to use them to turbo charge your productivity
  • Understand how to create states of “flow” – a powerful state of creativity and engagement
  • Learn to harness your most powerful motivation using the latest science
  • Learn to job craft your role to bring out the best in you
  • Find meaning in your work, to fuel productivity and enjoyment
My Approach

Includes wearing a professional level wearable that comes from the world of elite athletes. It will give you unique insights into your lifestyle and enable you to set very precise and personal goals. You will be able to run regular reports to witness the impact of the changes you are making.

I work with teams, using workshops and individual follow up coaching sessions. I also implement this program with individuals in a coaching framework.

I am an experienced senior business person and a pioneer in applying the exciting new science of positive psychology and lifestyle medicine in the corporate world.

How do I start?

I have a comprehensive program Thriving Resiliently™. You can start with introductory elements or take the whole journey. I work closely with clients to bespoke the interventions that best fit their needs.

Coaching

As the International Coach Federation specifies, “Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” My specific approach to this coaching principle is rooted in important foundations of my own.

Resilience: Firstbeat™ is a professional-level wearable used by elite athletes. It gives an uncanny level of robust data from your body like you have never seen before. For example, what aspects of your work switch your body into a restore and repair mode, not just the hours that you sleep, but what percentage is recovery and what is the quality of that recovery? If the secret to your enduring work performance and health is a balance between drive and recovery, how are your metrics on this? Then you have the ability to run regular reports to evidence the efficacy of the changes you are making.

Science and Evidence Based: While psychology traditionally focused on what is wrong with us, there is a new and exciting science of Positive Psychology which studies how we can flourish and thrive. I am a pioneer in bringing that science to my clients. It brings real rigour to my work.

Strengths: I look at what is right with you and help you be clear about your strengths. I build on those strengths to enable you to be the best version of yourself.

Individual Coaching: Individual coaching where you explore what is keeping you up at night, and find insights that lead to practical actions to resolve them. This includes leading-edge tools to give you personal insights that will transform your performance.

Team Coaching: Workshops where your team benefit from insights about the most innovative and useful ways to improve individual and collective performance, health and wellbeing. The team co-creates the unique application of those insights into practical actions.   

This can be complemented by individual coaching sessions, so that there is space for each unique personal agenda while also ensuring that the way the team works is growing and developing to support best practice.   That way the individual is not swimming against a tide but part of a collective that is learning and apply the best that science has to offer to their team and culture.

Inspiring Organisations: When leaders and teams have learnt innovative approaches that they know are effective and important, I can take that learning out to the wider department or organisation. I lead brief workshops where the leaders who have developed a passion for these new ways of working sit at round tables and act as mentors. This sets off a new direction in organisational learning that continues long after the workshop is over.

Alternatively, I lead interactive workshops on key topics such as Strengths, Sleep, Resilience, Psychological Safety, Lifestyle Medicine – the key to a successful career. These bite-size engagements provide an opportunity to sample my work and gradually do more.  Each workshop will challenge your current practice and create new and more beneficial approaches that transform your productivity.

Consulting

I will work with you to understand your current situation and desired outcomes. So that I can tailor interventions that are appropriate for you.

I have extensive experience in different businesses and sectors and appreciate the uniqueness of each situation.

For example:

  • I work with senior leadership teams in business: the fusion of the best science and evidence-based ways to thrive with their current challenges creates a unique and compelling formula for change. I then cascade this work to their extended leadership team and speak at their all-hands meetings so that there is true systemic change
  • Doctors are experiencing an alarming rate of burnout. I have designed and delivered a program for medical doctors, which I delivered in partnership with a surgeon
  • I have developed and delivered a leadership development program for an Agile environment, based on Agile principles
  • Doing a PhD is classically a very challenging experience. I have developed a program for a university client to help PhD students thrive
  • I have developed and delivered a retirement program for a client

I can join your leadership team on a part time basis for a period of time, to be alongside you as you approach business as usual in a new way that can truly transform the levels of engagement and success in your business.

Speaking

I am an experienced key note speaker.

I can offer a range of topics and bespoke to your audience’s needs and size.

I present to groups ranging from leadership teams to large departments at their annual all hands meetings. Here are an sample of the topics I present on:

  • Strengths – How looking at what is right with you can turbo charge your performance and build effective teams
  • Growth mindset – Unlocking your ability to accelerate your development and the appetite to learn in your company culture
  • Resilience –  The exciting new science of Resilience
  • Retirement – How to flourish and thrive in this chapter of your life

Hilda Barrett

You have only got one life, live it well. You don’t have to sacrifice your health and personal life to be successful in business. I was the poster child on how NOT to do this well. I had a very exciting job and amazing opportunities for development working as a HR Director for a large international region at Microsoft. I travelled endlessly and worked everyone’s clock. I eroded all focus on time with my family, friends and my health.
