“Importantly, studies show that even when the practical considerations have been met, employees do not engage well or benefit from well-being initiatives unless they believe that their leaders are genuinely invested in improving the mental health and well-being of their workforce.”

Whole life balance
Skills for Life is not about work/life balance, it’s about WHOLE life balance.
Skills for Life go beyond the basics of self-care and general well-being and deliver more in-depth strategies and skills that can assist people with well-being issues and concerns at home and at work.
It is well established that a happier and healthier workforce leads to increased productivity, less staff turnover and less sick days, but just because you offer well-being learning opportunities, that does not necessarily translate to your team engaging with them.
Obstacles to engagement include:
Topics do not resonate with team members, scope too narrow.
Delivery modality preferences not met.
Time-consuming & not easily integrated into work hours.
Does not offer practical strategies that can be applied immediately.
Privacy, confidentiality, & stigma concerns.
Well-being not seen as a genuine value of the organisation.

Let’s talk! I will work with you to:
Gain an understanding of the well-being needs of your workforce, not just at work but in life.
Determine your team’s preferred style(s) of learning and digesting information.
Gain awareness of workplace psychosocial hazards and how to prevent psychological harm.
As the Wellbeing Lead for a multinational organisation in the wholesale trade industry, creating partnerships in the mental health and wellbeing space can often be difficult. We need partners who take the time to understand our business, provide practical and commercial content and are relatable to our people. Lillian was a perfect fit!
With some of our teams undergoing change to their structure, ways of working and leadership, Lillian delivered face to face workshops taking the team through mindfulness and resilience. As a bit of a sceptic myself, Lillian’s approach was captivating and informative. Using an evidence-based approach and a mix of theory and practice, she was able to reach every participant no matter what their exposure to mindfulness and resilience. Her content helped our team throughout a difficult time in their careers.
We were then hit with COVID, and much like the rest of the world we needed to pivot and adapt like never before. Lillian’s agility, tech savvy nature and can-do attitude resulted in virtual resilience sessions being live streamed to audiences of up to 100 people, with evaluations rating her session as one of the most engaging of our wellbeing series.
She also created bite-size on-demand learning content for our teams to access when and where they needed, covering topics including holistic health, spotting the signs when yourself or others may not be ok, and how to check in on someone’s wellbeing. Lillian has an evidence-based approach and a warm and engaging style of delivery. Our people thoroughly enjoyed her sessions and she has been a strategic value add to our business.”

I recently had the fortune of sitting in a seminar run by Lillian on our Psychological Health laws in Australia. It’s such an important subject for leaders given psychosocial hazards must be identified and risk managed in the same way we view physical safety hazards.
Lillian was able to help the room understand what the laws are about, we must be aware of them as business owners and leaders, how to identify hazards, and the outcomes required under legislation. Her presentation was highly engaging and interactive, generating significant discussion and interest.
I’d certainly recommend you to talk to Lilian to ensure your business has an understanding of these laws, and what they mean for you.
