CORPORATE TALKS & MORE..

HOW CAN I HELP YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET: YOUR WORKFORCE?

Did you know that DISORDERED EATING is prevalent in your workplace and is seriously affecting the physical and mental wellbeing of more than 25% of your workforce ?

Issues around food infiltrates every area of their lives, affecting focus, engagement and attendance. It can affect anyone at any level and most likely is suffered in secret.

I’ve made it my mission to raise awareness of and provide a solution to the disordered eating epidemic in the UK. Knowing what I know now, I feel obliged to raise awareness, educate and more importantly, encourage anyone suffering to seek help before it takes over their life.

Why not let me present to your people, a 20–30 minute TED type talk with Q&A. It can be at your place of work or online. I wish I had known what I know now, before struggling with my own eating challenges for decades. I can debunk the diet myths and bring a powerful new perspective to eating related problems and easy recovery.

The perception is that it is really difficult to lose weight - this is a lie. As I have proved again and again. If done the right way, it is easy!

SIMPLE - FAST EFFECTIVE

FACT: Larger companies including SALESFORCE offer coaching to employees who request it because they know it can rapidly improve their mental health, boosting productivity and profit.

  • Disordered eating is not about food, it’s an emotional crutch.

    I know how the mind works, why it works that way and how to get it to change rapidly and permanently. I can tailor individual or company wide programs to suit your needs:

    1. Company Wide Programs

    eg. Beat Binge-Eating, Weight-Management, Healthy Mind Food & Body, LBD: Little Black Dress (12 week), Accountability Club

    • One-day MFB Method Foundation Workshop (live & recorded)

    • Weekly live Zoom coaching calls

    • Daily accountability

    • Incentives

    • Raise money for charity: A pound for a pound – you lose, they gain!

    2. One-day MFB Method Workshops (live or online)

    3. TED-type talks: lunch or after work (live and online)

    4. Individual 1:1 coaching (live or remote)

    5. Consulting: How can your company serve your the 25% who struggle with food, better? I can trouble-shoot:

    • Duty of care: What are you doing now, what can you do better?

    • Are you investing in the right places?

    • Is your kitchen area filled with irresistible temptation?

    • Incentives to a healthier lifestyle

    1. You don’t know how many bulimia sufferers there are in your workplace - it is believed fewer than 10% ever tell anyone else. Many of them desperate for help but it’s easier to lie to yourself, than to admit you’ve actually got a problem you’re not able to solve yourself.

    2. In the UK, 17 million days were lost due to stress, depression or anxiety. Each sufferer on average taking 16.5 days off p.a. (hse.gov.uk, 2022).

    3. Binge-eating is prevalent amongst your workforce – look around! It is an indicator that your employees’ mental, physical or emotional needs are not being fully met. How can you support them better?

    4. Between 1.25 and 3.4 million people in the UK are affected by a full-blown eating disorder (priorygroup.com). It is believed the numbers are much higher amongst high-functioning adults (your employees), clever enough to hide any indicators.

    5. You have a duty of care. Could some of your office incentives actually be harming a large section of your workforce over time?

    6. You haven’t got a plan that addresses disordered eating, a massive mental health problem.

    • I lived and suffered from bingeing and bulimia for over 3 decades. A high performer, apparently leading a perfect life.. Every spare minute of my day was consumed with obsessive thoughts of food, either consuming or avoiding it. I lost teeth and damaged my skin and immune system. I loathed myself for being weak. I knew others were the same and none of us spoke to anyone. If we had help, we would have performed better in life.

    • I have had great success in delivering real, life-changing results in very short times.

    • I am a highly experienced, fully Certified Holistic Life Coach, CHLC and Mind-Body Practitioner, MBP. I am a member of of the Complementary Medical Association (CMA).
