When we first spoke to Halian they loved what we do but needed a German speaking trainer to travel to their offices in Germany... could we help? Of course! Two months later... ...the fabulous Marina Ibrahim has spent the last two days working with the team at Halian in Berlin. They have been looking at communication skills using Insights Discovery, how teams form and work best together and have been exploring their personal challenges within their roles and how to overcome them. We feel privileged to be working with such an amazing group of leaders and can't wait for workshops 3 & 4 next month! #halianlife #SeventhWave #leadershipdevelopmenttraining

Here are five tips to help you manage and reduce stress at work: 🗓 Prioritise Your Workload Organise your tasks by priority to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Break larger projects into smaller, manageable steps and set realistic deadlines. This approach helps you focus on completing one task at a time, reducing the pressure of juggling multiple responsibilities simultaneously. ☕ Take Regular Breaks Incorporate short breaks throughout your workday to recharge. Stepping away from your desk, even for a few minutes, can help clear your mind and improve focus. Consider using techniques like the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working for 25 minutes followed by a 5-minute break. 🧘♂️ Practice Mindfulness Engage in mindfulness practices such as meditation or deep-breathing exercises to help manage stress. Focusing on the present moment can enhance your ability to cope with stressors and improve your overall mental well-being. 🗣 Communicate Openly Don’t hesitate to discuss your workload or stress levels with your manager or colleagues. Open communication can lead to support and solutions, such as adjusting deadlines or redistributing tasks, which can alleviate stress. 🏡 Maintain a Healthy Work-Life Balance Ensure you set boundaries between work and personal life. Make time for activities you enjoy outside of work, and don’t forget to take your entitled holidays. Engaging in hobbies and spending time with loved ones can significantly reduce stress levels. #managingstress #SeventhWave #Stressatwork #Worklifebalance

Here are three tips for giving effective presentations: 1️⃣ Know Your Audience Understanding your audience is crucial for tailoring your presentation to their interests and needs. Research who they are, their backgrounds, and what they hope to gain from your presentation. This knowledge allows you to adjust your language and content accordingly, making it more engaging and relevant for them. 2️⃣ Plan and Structure Your Presentation A well-organised presentation helps keep your audience engaged. Start with a compelling introduction, followed by a logical flow of information, and conclude with a strong summary or call to action. Using visual aids can enhance your message, but ensure they are clear and not overloaded with information. Aim for simplicity to maintain focus. 3️⃣ Practice Your Delivery Rehearsing your presentation multiple times is key to building confidence and refining your delivery. Pay attention to your timing, body language, and vocal projection. Practicing in front of a mirror or with a trusted colleague can provide valuable feedback. The more familiar you are with your material, the more comfortable you will be during the actual presentation. Give these tips a go and let us know how you get on! #seventhwave #presentationskills

Remember, you are never alone—let’s continue to foster open conversations and break the stigma around mental health🌟 #WorldMentalHealthWeek #MentalHealthMatters #SeventhWave

A HUGE well done to everyone at Discover International today. Their latest cohort has completed the Seventh Wave Leadership journey… and what a journey they have had! From first stepping into the training room 8 months ago they have expanded their teams, achieve more than they knew they could, been to Poland for sessions and seen a lot of change. Their presentations today showed how much they have gelled as a team, how they are positively impacting so many of their direct reports (thanks to Frankie Mitchell for the ripple effect reminder), and the difference in the way they are conducting themselves now within the business is inspiring. It was also brilliant to have their SLT come along and to hear how they are supporting their team, investing in the growth of the company and how the Seventh Wave is truly running throughout their business. Congratulations Michaela Vogt , Wiktoria Ryś , Jack Ogilvie, Sebastian Saavedra Adams, Malwina Skrzypek, Amy Bater , Sofie Thijs , Anna Jaźwińska , Abir Chrouda, Dan Goss & Frankie Mitchell enjoy the next phase as you lead yourselves and the company into 2025! Ps. HBD/Happy Birthdsy Abir Chrouda and Dan Goss
