Corporate Training

Without exception, the PAUSE, PLAY, CONNECTⓇ flow is the simplest most memorable, actionable framework that your overwhelmed workforce needs to know about in times of crisis.

Debi delivers the material in a calm, non-judgemental clear way, that cuts to the heart of the matter - stress kills our ability to play in healthy connected ways.

Stress causes us to rush and make mistakes, upset colleagues, and ruin company culture. 

Debi John uses ‘PLAY’ as a way of framing her well-being message in a dynamic yet familiar way.

  • The PAUSE, PLAY, CONNECTⓇ Model uses memorable symbols that are inclusive and speak to neurodiverse and neurotypical adults without confusion. 

Did you know:

50-80% of your workforce (depending on sector) is constantly living in a heightened, anxious or ‘frozen state’ and this is affecting optimum growth and effectiveness.

It’s time to pause for 60 minutes this January, take things back to basics, and retain the most precious parts at the heart of your business - the people. 

‘We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.’(George Bernard Shaw)

Play is innate to us as infants, yet somehow we’ve come to a place where over 80% of adults struggle to see the value of PLAY. 

Juggling the pressures of workload, family life and finances can feel overwhelming and affects our productivity and ability to focus. 

Play can feel like a ‘frivolous activity’ to many adults. However, ‘playfulness’ is a strong indicator of how our body’s stress response system is performing, which directly affects our overall resilience.

If you’re sinking under the pressure, now is the time to start working towards incorporating more play into your day.

During training sessions, Debi walks delegates through her 3-step, memorable framework whilst outlining a wide range of practical, evidence-based tools that will leave you feeling empowered and ready to ‘Play your way,’ in this fast-paced, digital age. 

The Pause, Play, ConnectⓇ signature training session entitled ‘Too busy NOT to play’ is suitable for a global audience can be delivered online or in-person and is charged on a sliding scale depending on audience size.

“If you are looking to build a culture of safety, innovation, and connection then make sure you consider Debi and the impact she can create through her heartwork.” Ryan Hartley, ABTY

”It was interesting to me, how such a simple concept could be so hard to achieve in reality, yet have the power to create a huge shift in not only our own mental well-being but those of others around us.
In my case, it has helped me immensely with my relationship with my son, but the principle could be applied to any relationship at work or home.

Just a small shift in outlook, a few minutes a day makes me feel less guilty overall, more happy and have a child who has really benefitted from this interaction. I had the opportunity of meeting Debi for the first time last year and hearing her talk about her Pause, Play and Connect.” Gunjan, KPMG
