What People Say About Me
Izzy’s session was well received at the away day It was a nice blend of mindfulness and thought-provoking ways for prioritising happiness in our work and lives. I particularly liked her suggestion of listing the three things that make us happy, and making us think about what it was about our jobs that we most liked. I also appreciated that she managed to condense her presentation to fit out timetable.
So a “super-charged thank-you” to Izzy!
FCO ManagerWe really enjoyed the session, and I have already had some really positive feedback. It was great to have that space to really think about what lit up our days, and surprisingly how many times that happened. The session was really interactive and practical, and everyone came out beaming and ready to face the rest of the day. You have given us some really good tools to help us cope with moments of stress by taking time out to (perhaps?) smell the roses.
Clare DouglasThe session and Izzy herself were very well received. Following Izzy’s course, a group of participants set up their own monthly meeting to practise some of the techniques she suggested. The great thing is, it included members from three different Government departments – which will help continue to build relationships across the departments.
