Teenage depression
Labyrinths induce the relaxation response identified by Dr Herbert Benson of the Harvard Mind Body Institute. Children who walk labyrinths become calmer, have a longer attention span and a better ability to deal with conflict. Her goal is to build a labyrinth in every school through the ‘ Adopt a Labyrinth ’ program. Corporate sponsorship includes a team-building day to paint a labyrinth in a selected school. Martha follows up with a ½ day workshop with the teachers sharing how to facilitate and use the labyrinth to the best possible advantage and benefit to the students.
Corporate Wellbeing
Staff engagement in Hong Kong according to the latest figures by Gallup indicate that satisfaction levels have dropped from 18% to only 4% in 4 years! The resulting cost to productivity, morale and profits is staggering. RDUF has solutions -
Me Myself and You
A two day interactive workshop for teams. Day one is focused on ‘self’. Here you identify your values, motivators and personality profile, gain clarity around stress responses and take the time to evaluate your life objectively. Day two builds upon these themes by looking at the team profiles, behaviors and implications. We conclude with conflict and feedback skills. To date Martha has conducted this motivational and inspirational workshop on over 600 staff from Manager to Chairman.
Career Counseling
Beginning with some of the tools above, this program also includes visioning, personal strengths and an objective evaluation of blocks preventing you from obtaining the outcomes you desire. We imagine a future of choice and develop an action plan to create your reality.
'Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive'. - Howard Thurman
Stop, Reflect and Redirect
A three day workshop for small groups designed to offer a well needed pause to step back and gain perspective on one’s career, life choices and levels of satisfaction. You then identify your future state and RDUF supports you in your transition through a holistic approach.
