Stress is a major issue in the teaching world today – on both a professional and personal level. Whatever role in
schools we have, whether as teacher or administrator, in whichever educational sector, working under great pressure
is a daily reality. Yet it is a complex and often difficult issue that raises many questions for us….
- Are we aware of the need for healthy stress in order to sustain or enhance our performance?
- Are we able to recognise the signs of unhealthy stress before they build up and overwhelm?
- Are we fit to cope with continual change and the unexpected periods of high pressure?
- How can we help a colleague with a stress problem when we are under pressure ourselves?
- Can we really relax when we need to?
- How can we develop new skills: deepen intuitive insight and enhance our positive influence on others?
- How can we manage conflicts positively and transform human relationship?
Being able to manage our own and our colleagues’ stress levels is essential if we are to make the most of our
potential, whether in the classroom or in the office. However, this means more than coping with the disruptive effects
of emotional stress – absenteeism, high staff turnover, exhaustion, missed goals, indecision, challenging behaviour of
pupils and parent complaints. We need a positive strategy for maintaining our own well-being.
HeartSpheres is a new approach that helps you directly take charge of managing your own stress both in and out of
work so as to achieve a healthy working life. You can also help others manage their stress effectively at work,
achieving maximum benefit for both the school and the individual.
The HeartSpheres techniques are based on an understanding of the physiology of the breathing process; the heart and
the brain and their relationship to human consciousness and its development. It is this connection between physiology
and psychology that makes the exercises so effective. They provide scientifically validated emotional management tools
to transform difficult emotions such as anxiety, fear, and anger into the positive social and life skills vital to the
modern professional. This can build an intuitive emotional intelligence that enhances all aspects of leadership and
teambuilding as well as personal health and well-being.
A personal health assessment, individual coaching and monitoring of stress reduction and health improvement can be
provided by a registered health professional on request.

innovative approach.
