The Shapes Toolkit:

Shapes Toolkit Part 1: Beat Stress, Feel Calmer (shapes 1-4 above)

In this session, we will explore the common causes of stress, how it affects our performance, and learn how to recognise the signs of stress in ourselves and our colleagues – and what to do about it.
We will think about the neuroscience of stress and how we get hijacked by our amygdala causing us to respond negatively.
We’ll then use the ‘In the Corner’ shape to change this negative response to help us feel calmer and behave more rationally.
We will use the Zone of Power to get clear on what we can control (and what we can’t), and then use the Prioritisation Grid to help take control of our time and workload, by prioritizing our time and increasing our focus, so we can concentrate on what’s truly important, rather than constantly firefighting the ‘urgent’.

Shapes Toolkit 2: Feel Better, Stop Rescuing (shapes 5-7 above)

In this session, we will use the Vortex of Busyness to illustrate how we respond to an increasing workload by working harder – leaving no time to look after ourselves. We’ll then do a personal audit of the wellbeing factors which protect us from burnout, and keep us mentally fit, and then generate some quick and easy actions which will make a big difference.
We’ll use the Drama Triangle to explore how we can get stuck in a victim mentality – feeling helpless, or in a rescuer role – feeling like we must ‘fix it’ for everyone else.
We then use the Coaching Pentagon to learn how to escape these roles, by taking a coaching approach, being more proactive and having transformative conversations with our colleagues.

This programme is ideal for colleagues working across health and social care who are looking to develop practical skills to support their own wellbeing while continuing to deliver high-quality care.
