Performance Under Pressure
We kicked off our first workshop for 2026 today with Performance Under Pressure — and what a powerful way to start the year ahead.
Led by Patrick Sherratt, this highly interactive half-day session gave attendees practical, real-world tools to better understand stress, build resilience, and improve performance — both at work and at home.
The participants explored:
- Why stress affects people differently and how it shows up in our day-to-day lives
- How self-beliefs and habits can lock us into unhelpful patterns
- Practical stress-reduction strategies to improve reactions, recovery, and resilience
- Ways to embed these strategies into teams to lift wellbeing and performance
.
The room was full of honest conversations, hands-on activities, and plenty of lightbulb moments — all focused on supporting healthier, more resilient workplaces across Southland.
A big thank you to Patrick for sharing his expertise and to everyone who joined us and contributed so openly to the discussion.
