Staff will leave having set themselves a non-negotiable behaviour that will aid them in keeping their 'table stable.' We will touch on habit formation with the aim of empowering staff to create positive change in their lives.

Develop An Adaptable Mindset

We will explore with staff the four different mindsets that humans can lean into.
