Book Maria to speak“The science proves that wellbeing is not simply good for performance; true wellbeing IS performance. When we are not at our peak of wellbeing we cannot perform, but to be well is also to be working at our peak – the two are inexorably linked”.
“My interest in positive mental wellbeing began with a fascination with the power of the brain. It continued to be an area of focus due to the outcome of personal trauma – a severe concussion that had a two year recovery, as well as serious bullying at work after uncovering malpractice.
It is enormously rewarding seeing the power of neuroscience-based coaching in helping individuals get into the driving seat of their brains and feel happier in all areas of their lives.
By increasing your wellbeing levels, you will directly impact your performance at work with improved problem solving, decision-making effectiveness, team cooperation and creativity.”
