"LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT! Energised and fun!, “Excellent! Will take this back to the workplace” and “Loved this. Engaging and thought provoking. Made me think about how I can look after myself”

I would have no hesitation in recommending Dave as a speaker for your event or conference."

Topics (what’s on and What’s coming):

It might sound a bit daft but I see my work as a trilogy (nothing like Lord of the Rings, but definitely in three parts) aiming to help our people and organisations achieve greater success with wellbeing as a primary factor, not as an inconvenient consideration:

Part 1: sweat the sprouts not the cabbages:

Developing Resilience - reducing stress, sickness absence and staff turnover:

(showing now - in person or online)

Are you and your people - your leaders, managers and teams - finding it a challenge to stay on top of the demands, challenges and stress of work and life?  

Are they clear about the goals and outcomes (the cabbages), and focused on sweating the priority activities (the sprouts) to get there?  I share why poor coping strategies can ruin performance and wellbeing. I explain how to regain focus, cope positively and get back on with the business thriving in today's demanding world.  It's all a matter of 'putting stress in its place and sweating the right sprouts'

Do they have great personal resilience? Do they appreciate the importance of 'self-care' (nurturing their inner radish)? To develop sustainable success, we need to develop a focus on simple self-care habits.  I share my six areas of self-care to ensure a 'happy inner-radish.'

This entertaining session (also dubbed 'the cabbage keynote'), is a fantastic way to break down resistance and build a brilliant 'up for it' vibe.  Through the use of humour, props and Dave's down-to-earth approach, delegates will leave with motivation and practical tools to implement immediately.

Get in touch to learn more about my workshops on this topic or to discuss a conference, department or team event or away-day.

Also showing (supporting sessions and webinars) -

‘Operation Snooze - the Three Zzzed’s To Better Sleep’ - sleep improvement webinar (also available in person).

‘Developing Effective Social Connections/ Dealing with Isolation, Disconnection and Loneliness’ - webinar/ workshop.

Part 2: Are You Sweating the Right Sprouts?

Raising Engagement and Motivation - thriving rather than just surviving

Early Release - Showing now to limited audiences - due for wider release

Thriving during uncertainty, developing a resilient and positive approach to life and work.

This session is currently being released to a small number of clients as it is being refined and tweaked.

Are you people feeling washed out and ground down by the challenges of life and work? Do they (and you) want to gain more fulfilment, meaning and enjoyment form work?

There is a clear link between engaged and happy people and performance outcomes, not to mention personal wellbeing.

This session provides insight into the elements of happiness and how our work is critical in helping us find meaning, fulfilment, enjoyment and satisfaction.

This is an engaging, action based session in which attendees will learn practical ways to shift their perspective and make behavioural changes that will impact on day to day happiness levels.

Get in touch to learn more and discuss being one of the recipients of the ‘early release’ of this session.

Also showing (supporting sessions and webinars) -

Developing Psychological Safety and Raising Team Performance

Having Effective Wellbeing Conversations with Teams and Individuals

Managing/ Having Difficult Conversations

Part 3: It’s All Sprouts

Developing Lasting Behaviour Change - sustainable wellbeing, weight management and midlife health

In production, camera, lights, action! - expected release Spring 2024

I am currently focusing on coaching individual clients (and developing an online programme) to help them make lasting and effective changes in their routines, rituals, mindset and ‘wellbeing architecture’ to achieve sustainable weight loss/ management and health improvement.

Real and lasting change is made at the level of the sprout, i.e. the day to day small habits, rituals and rituals we repeat often.

Ask me about my coaching support and online supported ‘self-coaching’ if you are interested in getting off the diet merry-go-round and work on lasting change to transform your mid-life health and beyond.

Testimonials:

“We asked Dave to deliver a session on managing personal resilience at our Mid-Year Department Head’s Conference. The aim of the conference is to reflect on past success and performance and focus on future challenges. Dave’s session was intended to encourage some reflection on managing the demands of the role in a multi-national environment and maintaining well-being. The short session proved to be a fantastic compliment to the main business. Dave’s ‘Stress CPR’ strategy and tools, along with his entertaining and engaging style proved a hit amongst my team and major talking point thereafter. I believe the resources provided during that session are helping my team perform more effectively, without forgetting the need to look after their own health and stress levels.”

 — DAVE WATCHMAN, EUROPEAN OPERATIONS LEAD, MCDONALD’S EUROPE LTD

“Dave, just wanted to let you know, I’ve heard back from the conference sponsor... Everyone is still buzzing and talking about your session. Even those who weren’t at the event!”

— STU POWELL, SP TRAINING SOLUTIONS

"Dave presented at the NEPG 2017 to teach postgraduate students how to stress less, a huge task! Nevertheless, Dave managed to have us all engaging with the talk and laughing through, with very helpful tips on looking after our inner radishes!"

- CHAIR OF NEPG GROUP 2017 - ABBIE KELLY

Mental Health Awareness Week 2018, is a great opportunity for us to raise awareness and give our people the chance to invest in their own self-care and development.  To that end, we asked Dave Algeo to deliver a number of short sessions in our London and Newcastle Offices on stress and resilience.  Dave’s style is perfect for dealing with a potentially difficult topic.  His use of down to earth tools and strategies, a touch of humour and some memorable metaphors - I won’t forget the cabbages and sprouts for a long time - created a powerful and positive impact for our people.  The feedback from attendees at his session has been fantastic and it was great to see so many people leaving his sessions smiling and talking positively about the subject.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Dave and his hones, down to earth humorous approach to add some real value, positivity and impact to your events.’
