Give your extraordinary leaders the knowledge, tools and skills to maximize their wellbeing and support and inspire their teams.
The pandemic completely upended the world of work.
Leaders have done an incredible job of keeping their teams together and meeting objectives in a climate of constant uncertainty.
And now, as we face new challenges in the workplace, leaders must find additional strength to help staff with their mental and physical health, deal with absenteeism, improve retention, enhance collaboration, and find hybrid or remote solutions that work for everyone–often within a workplace culture that doesn’t prioritize wellbeing.
By trying to be everything to everyone, leaders are burning out.
Leaders often have additional stressors outside of work as they care for children and/or aging parents while dealing with their own personal health challenges.
Leaders can’t help their teams until they’ve helped themselves.
Organizations that do not support the wellbeing of their leadership team and middle management while asking them to take on more responsibility, run the risk of losing this critical pool of talent and critical knowledge.
Organizations that develop human-centric leadership will be the winners.
Neolé’s leadership development programs incorporate principles of human-centered leadership, creative problem solving and wellbeing, and teach a participatory approach to leadership. We show leaders and organizations how to create workplace cultures focused on wellbeing, leading to higher engagement, collaboration, retention and happiness–workplaces that people are proud to be a part of!

UPWELL:
How to Prevent Burnout AND Create a Healthy Workplace Culture for Yourself and Your Team
Leaders–it’s time to put your oxygen mask on first!
Yes, it’s a cliche, but there’s a reason we keep coming back to this analogy: being there for others works best when we take care of ourselves first.
As a leader you are probably very good at managing a lot of responsibilities (not just at work but also in your personal life). You are always taking care of people (not just your team and your bosses, but maybe also your kids and your aging parents), you also take care of projects, budgets and all sorts of other things. But how often do you stop to take good care of yourself? Is that even possible when you have so much on your plate? And what’s the consequence if you don’t make health and wellness a priority? And what about your team’s health and wellness?
Your amazing team is important to you. And, you are important to them! They are looking to you for answers, direction and support, both personally and professionally.
For this, you need to be at the top of your game!
A high-performing team is one that is excited to contribute, does their best work and loves their work! When you trust your team to be high performing you can sleep better at night. Two things are needed for this: individual commitment to wellbeing and workplace commitment to wellbeing. It all begins with you setting a positive example by giving top priority to your own wellbeing.
But where to start when you already have so many responsibilities on your plate?
UPWELL: How to Take Care of Your Wellbeing as a Leader AND Create a Healthy Workplace Culture for Your Team is a one-hour interactive session, expertly facilitated by Neolé’s CEO, Ginny Santos, to get you building the individual habits and practices that elevate your own wellbeing.
Outcomes
- Uncover the four major “energy suckers” that drain your vitality and can pose a challenge to even the most effective self-care strategies
- Discover the five mistakes organizations are making when it comes to supporting the wellbeing of their leaders and teams
- Discover what’s working for other leaders, including leaders of hybrid/remote as well as workplace practices that build a healthy workplace culture increasing retention, productivity and employee engagement
Leading for Collaboration
Leading for Collaboration is for managers and leaders who need smart, diverse people to collaborate within or across teams, but find it difficult and painfully time-consuming to get everyone on the same page and collaborate effectively towards a common goal.
During this workshop, we explore how to lead effective collaboration and how to be an outstanding contributor to collaborative initiatives/projects. This training gives participants the awareness, process and tools they need to lead effective collaborations that engage the right people at the right time, move everyone along at an equal pace, and reach the finish line as a whole and better team. Whether you are a team leader or a member of a loose collaboration, you will leave this training with a deep understanding of your team’s strengths and blind spots, and what’s required for successful collaboration to take place.
This course includes the FourSight self-assessment and Team Report.*
Outcomes
- Gain awareness into how each team member approaches challenges and opportunities
- Step up your ability to collaborate towards innovative outcomes
- Improve team dynamics when working under stress and prevent conflict
- Develop trust and respect on teams
- Deliberately enhance individual and collective creativity
- Leverage the team’s psychological differences in the approach to problem solving
- Develop a common language that supports your team’s collaboration efforts
- Integrate a repeatable process for every project that requires collaboration
Each person will receive:
- Individual FourSight* profiles to remind participants of their unique contributions to the collaboration process
- A handy card deck containing the collaboration process and tools learned during the workshop
- The FourSight Team Report detailing how the team works best together
How to Stay Smart:
Helping leaders develop healthy habits that enhance cognitive performance
Organizations need leaders who are sharp, emotionally intelligent, able to focus and make sound decisions under pressure. They need leaders who are present and available for their teams.
The performance of your leaders suffers when they struggle with brain fog, unreliable memory, mood swings, the mid-afternoon slump, headaches, joint pain and overwhelm when faced with increased stress or added complexities. It’s like having a computer freeze in the middle of a 40-page report or a website that’s painfully slow to load – a computer that needs maintenance… Well, like computers, brains need maintenance too!
How to Stay Smart is a brain maintenance program that teaches leaders how to focus and concentrate, minimize headaches and brain fog, remain calm when under stress, and feel at their best throughout the work day. How to Stay Smart teaches leaders how to maintain and optimize their cognitive health, and provides the tools, knowledge and habits to ensure they are always at their best.
Outcomes
- Discover the 6 types of hunger and how they impact your ability to focus during different times of the workday
- Understand the types of nutrients that the brain needs for optimal performance at work, at play and for longevity
- Discover the link between stress and the brain’s energy requirements so that you can prevent burnout
- Identify the two types of fuel that your brain relies on throughout the day
- Practice emotional intelligence in the context of brain health
- Establish healthy habits that help prevent cognitive decline at any age
- Create a personal plan for how to optimize your cognitive performance
It’s never too late to give your brain what it needs to function at its best.
Work-Life Balance:
How to Set Healthy Boundaries for You and Your Team
Poor work boundaries can lead to burnout, and burnout has a ripple effect on both the team and the organization – increasing the amount of sick days, turnover, and overall stress. It’s time to set some healthy work life boundaries!
This solution-focused workshop is for leaders and their teams who want to be brave about setting work boundaries while improving performance, efficiency and high quality work. Engage in important conversations with your team about work life boundaries, and identify practical ways to support and sustain high performance. Come prepared to share the challenges you are dealing with, and to brainstorm ideas in collaboration with your team. Includes a customized report of your team’s ideas and strategies.
