fluid

coaching

helps teams and individuals thrive in their environment by offering education and practical workshops on physical, social and mental health.

We work with employers to understand their values and culture. When we know what's important to you, we create customised solutions to help build a space where your employees want to stay.

We do this by starting with a themed workshop where we introduce the the most important points and principles.

We create focus groups, helping your teams embed the principles into their working practices.

For those who really want to embrace the changes and develop themselves, we work with individuals to develop their skills.

Our Promise

Here's what you can expect when working with us.

01

We want to understand you.

Before anything happens, we'll spend some time getting to know you and your business. It's a relationship and we want it to be a happy one.

02

We want to know what better is.

You're investing in us and we want to know what you want to see change as a result. Our job is to provide the solutions to make it better.

03

We value regular contact.

We know a lot but we don't know everything. Throughout the projects we keep you updated and check in to make sure you're happy with what we're putting together.

04

We take feedback on board.

If there's something you think would work better, we'll look into it to see if it fits.

Following any workshop or interaction, we'll always ask for feedback to keep refining our service for you.

It's all about your human beings.

Office environments were designed to optimise work output based on principles of manufacturing. You sit still, you do more.

Science tells us, this environment doesn't help people think creatively or develop strategic solutions.

At Fluid Coaching, we aim to change that.

We use evidence-based evolutionary and social psychology interventions to unlock the potential of your employees.

Take a look at some of our wellbeing topics.

Increasing activity to maximise productivity.

When a human body is designed to move, how does sitting for hours on end impact on our mental and physical health?

This workshop explores the history of how we got here, introduces interventions to help reduce discomfort from sitting and intorduces the principle of Doga (Desk Yoga).

Desk-based movement strategies for joint health.

The second of our Sitting Pretty workshops brings the focus to sitting, back pain and Doga.

Looking at how the different joints of your body work together, we explore sittting for long periods and the relationship with back pain.

This workshop holds a practical session where we guide you through desk-based movement strategies to keep your joints happy and back pain at bay.

Perform at your best when it matters most.

How do some people seemingly rise to the occasion while other crumble?

In this workshop, we explore the nature of pressure and it's impact on performance.

We look at establishing the truth of perfect performances, help understand the two brains involved in pressure moments and the five strategies to help your performance when it matters most.

Optimising your work environment for weight management

If you could put together an environemt that made weight management difficult, an office would be somewhere near the top. So, how can you make it better?

We start by looking at defining weight and it's potential impact, at both ends of the spectrum, on health.

Once you know what healthy weight is, we look at how you can optimise both your home and your work environment to eat the right foods for where you want your weight to be.

We answer the question of what should go in your cupboards and where are the best places to go foraging when at work.

And whether all "healthy" food helps you lose weight.

Accessible wherever you are.

We offer a virtual opportunity to let your teams benefit from our topics by running a series of short, online seminars based on survey responses from your workshops.

These are based on the topic and allow those who couldn't attend the live workshop to get involved and for those who could, another opportunity to engage in the topic and have their questions answered.

It doesn't stop when we walk out the room.

Every workshop is supported through a variety of resources including:

Handouts.
Online video libraries.
Social media communities.
Recommended reading and reference material.
1-1 Online Coaching (optional).

1-1 Coaching & Development

The Personal Touch

We have over 20 years of experience developing confidence and competence. We do this through focussing on an individuals activity, health and lifestyle. By understanding the person, we can work to create a series of positive habits and behaviours where you develop the tools to fulfil your potential.

Understanding what makes you, you.

Everybody is different and that's what we like.

We like to find out what makes you unique, what you believe in and how you like to work.

We see it as a collaboration of skills. We know a lot about health, lifestyle and change and you know a lot about yourself.

We work hard to bring those aspects together to find the right solution to fit you.
Optimise your environments.
There are three spaces you occupy:
1. Work/Profession
2. Home
3. Play
We explore each one to determine what's hindering or enhancing your journey forwards.

We look at what you can control, what you can influence and what's outside those spheres.

That way, when you find yourself in those environments, you know how to make the most of them for what's important to you.
Reflect, review and apply.

One thing we always encourage is checking how things have gone to establish where to go next. It helps by becoming aware those little, subconcious habits that either help or hinder positive change.

We find out what the wins and work on's are so each week, there are strategies in place to always keep moving forwards.

These come through a series of agreed practical and habitual changes relative to where you are moving to.

We break down your belief barriers.

Half a century of high performance.

One of the challenges of age is in the physical evidence in your body of the lifestyle you've led.

In Russ' case, this was one of high performance. Marathons, ultra marathons and football with the battle scars to prove it.

Feeling the miles on his body, balancing a successful, growing business and spending qulaity time with his family was leaving his resources low.

The Plan: Build a resilient body that would allow him to enjoy his activities. Find some space for him so he can be his best in his personal and professional capacities.

"It was great how we focussed on what I can do rather than what I can't do. It made the whole experience much more positive and motivating."

Coming back from burn out.

Time and the accumulation of stress can wreak havoc on your health. This is where Jason was.

Some significant life events meant Jason had been running on high stress for too long. A busy professional, studying for his doctorate in theology and significant personal comittments were leaving Jason on empty.

A visit to his GP confirmed it. Under an endocrinolgist, it was identified his hormone profile and bio-markers were indicating extreme exhaustion and adrenal fatigue. The slightest increase in physical stress would be like someone asking him to climb Everest leaving him feeling sick and beaten.

The Plan: Back to basics. Repair, restore and re-build.

"I had tried to get back into it myself but it hadn't worked. By having someone there telling you what you should (and shouldn't) be doing and importantly WHY, it meant i got to build my body back up again to doing what I enjoy the most."

Finding the spark.

You've been 100% focusses on being your best and then from nowhere, someone flicks a switch and it's gone. What happened?

Anna was an advocate of exercise. Most days in the gym training hard and lifting heavy, enjoying the benefits both mentally and physically. Then, seemingly from nowhere, falling out of love with exercise.

Shifts in lifestyle and profession meant the batteries were starting to run low and fitting 100% intensity into every workout was becoming harder and harder to the stage Anna felt it was pointless even trying.

The Plan: Re-establish a healthy relationship with exercise and review the balance between personal and professional pursuits.

"I love the focus on mental goals as well as the physical. It's been super helpful to work on changing my mindset from working out to look good to working out to feel good."

Stepping outside the comfort zone.

Eva is a very busy professional, giving 100% to everything she does. Including exercise.

Having run several marathons and achieving a personal best in London, she felt an new challenge was needed so turned from running to almost the complete oppositte; entering a body building competition taking place in 6months time.

The two disciplines need entirely different training strategies. This was going to be a 6month journey; physically, mentally and socially challenging . Every exercise chosen and every calorie had to be accounted for to confidently walk on to a stage and be physically scrutinsed by a panel of judges.

The Plan: Build internal self-confidence and belief. Review availible time and training opportunities to build a progressive routine that would build her stage-ready body.

"I knew it was going to be hard but I didn't realise mentally how tough it was going to be. What helped was each part of the process being explained and how, when I had a problem physically or mentally, it was listened to and a solution found."
