6 Week Stress Reduction and Self-Regulation Group Coaching Programme
Outline
This six-week group coaching programme is designed for leaders who want to cultivate healthy habits to reduce stress, improve their ability to regulate emotional responses and increase their resilience and well-being. Ultimately, they will become better equipped to lead in these times of accelerating change and complexity.
This programme is grounded in science and includes an advanced biofeedback device called the Inner Balance Coherence Plus from HeartMath that measures Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Coherence in real-time. These measures have been extensively researched for over 30 years and are reliable indicators of how we respond to stress. By using the Inner Balance sensor, participants receive real-time feedback that enables them to see the impact of their learning, fine-tune their approach and monitor progress over time.
Format
We meet weekly via Zoom for six weeks. Each session will last up to 90 minutes. In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other, create our group learning agreement, set individual goals and ensure everyone is comfortable with the technology we'll be using. Over the following weeks, we'll explore the causes of stress, energy depletion and renewal, practice a powerful technique for self-regulation and discover ways to build supportive habits.
As this is a group coaching programme rather than a group training session, each participant will be actively engaged and have time to reflect on their unique situation and develop individualised strategies. Between each session, participants will be encouraged to practice, experiment and monitor their progress.
What's included
- Six live group-coaching sessions, one per week. Each session will last up to 90 minutes.
- The Inner BalanceTM Coherence Plus sensor from HeartMath® - which is yours to keep following the training (valued at €265)
- A free lifetime subscription to the HeartMath app for Android / iOS (Valued at €75 per year), which includes hours of additional learning, videos, tools, practices and audiobooks.
- A Pre and Post programme complimentary stress self-assessment questionnaire
- A PDF workbook that will support your learning in each of our six group-coaching sessions.
Benefits/outcomes
- Soften and relieve the effects of stress and fill your life with more calm, joy and inner security.
- Cultivate emotional balance, clarity and compassion in your relationships, career and life.
- Have more energy throughout the day by learning to quickly recharge your energy reserves and reduce the energy drain caused by life's stresses.
- Cultivate greater access to your intuition and make decisions from a more resourced state rather than reacting.
- Develop greater care, connection, compassion and empathy for yourself and others.
Requirements
- Attend all six group coaching sessions.
- Minimise distractions at each session so you can be fully focused and present - sessions are not recorded.
- Ensure you join each session from a space that affords privacy so you can feel comfortable practising and using the Inner Balance sensor.
- Be willing to experiment and practice between sessions (at a minimum, you'll want to give yourself 10-20 minutes a day)
- If you have a pacemaker, you can benefit from the learning throughout the group coaching programme; however, depending on the type of pacemaker, there may be no benefit in using the biofeedback device to measure HRV. Pacemakers that continually pace the heart will ensure that the heart beats at the same rate; therefore, changes in the HRV in response to the nervous system are impossible.

If you're ready to start, or have questions - let's talk!
Stephen Clements, PCC
As a leader, I appreciate it can be a difficult step to reach out and discuss the challenges you are facing and the support you might be looking for. However, in taking the first step, you're already demonstrating that you're ready, willing and able to try something different.
When we talk, we'll explore the challenges you're facing and how my offerings might align with your needs. This won't be a sales call - I dislike them as much you do. Rather, it will be a conversation without judgement and filled with empathy, curiosity and openness. What happens next is entirely up to you.
