Recharging Your Inner Battery – Free Online Workshop

Establishing wellbeing habits to sustain your energy when caring for others

Do you sometimes feel like you’re trying to keep your head above water?

Every day you give to others - you listen, encourage, problem solve and you give out of your own reservoir of energy. Each one of us is responsible for our own ‘corner of the world’ that helps our family/whānau/community flourish.

• Understanding the cost to your battery as you charge up others

• Recognising the point at which you need to plug in and recharge

• Establishing wellbeing habits for your own survival

• Developing and replenishing your inner self

This online workshop will be facilitated by Marina Shearer, who facilitates our popular "Thrive and Revive" and "Conflict Management" workshops. With a 25 year career providing training and facilitation, Marina has a passion for creating better outcomes for everyone.
