Unlock wellbeing ‍by design.

Looking to have a sustainable and scalable impact without sacrificing wellbeing or happiness?

Want to cut through the noise, join the dots, and tap into real-world solutions to improve your wellbeing, happiness, and leadership?

Want a compassionate, straight-talking, and constructively challenging guide?

You’re in the right place.

Welcome.

I’m Katie Adams. I help Leaders and teams intentionally shape work and life to be more meaningful, sustainable, and enjoyable so you can go from stretched, stressed, and unable to switch off to calm, energised, and confidently in control.

I’ll guide you to understand your unique wellbeing blueprint and shape how you live, work, and think so that these work for you rather than compromise you or your potential.

Ultimately, I’ll help you lighten your load, nurture a Sustainable Self™, and side-step burnout so you can have a sustainable positive impact personally and professionally while enjoying the journey.

I work directly with individuals and organisations looking to develop their support for their people, and create Wellbeing Positive™ workplaces.

Human Centred Action Focused Whole-Life Leadership

Ways we can work together

  • A collage of colorful images and text encouraging health, happiness, and relaxation, including a nature scene, a rainbow-colored abstract art piece, photos of outdoor and indoor spaces, and various motivational phrases.

    Work/Life Design

    Fresh and impactful programmes and experiences that support you to intentionally shape your relationship with work, life, and self so you can prevent burnout, enhance your wellbeing, and be in control of a life and career that is genuinely fulfilling and sustaining, not just survivable.

    For example, the fun and energising half-day Vision Board Masterclass helps clarify your vision for the year ahead, identify what matters for your work, rest, and play, and create a tool to help you achieve your goals.

    Burnout Coaching

    Grounded in my Sustainable Self™ Framework and the latest burnout and wellbeing research, I provide a discreet, tailored 1:1 coaching programme that supports you to recharge and recover from burnout so you can get back to you and having a positive impact.

    During the programme you will also be guided to review and recalibrate life and work (where needed) to better support your wellbeing and happiness, and reduce your risk of burnout recurring.

    Wellbeing Positive™ Strategic Support

    Bespoke strategic support and facilitation to engage your people, review where you are, and co-create a Wellbeing Positive™ organisation where wellbeing is embedded as a strategic driver for productivity, growth, and impact.

    I create safe spaces for honest conversations and decision-making, quickly get to the heart of issues, and become a trusted partner.

The Reset Retreat

If you are spinning lots of plates, stretched thin, and wondering how you will be able to switch off over your summer break, join me this June to pause, connect, and confidently reset your time and energy.

The Reset Retreat is not a wellness retreat; it’s a one-day action retreat with follow-up support to help you maintain momentum.

Because sustainable wellbeing, fulfilment, and impact don’t happen by accident.

Spotlight: Shaping the future.

A Vision Board Masterclass brings your team, clients, or network together for an unforgettable creative experience that stretches their imagination to explore what is possible, energises, and catalyses positive action to support greater wellbeing and impact.

Participants leave with their own unique Vision Board, a new power tool backed by neuroscience, that can support them to achieve their goals.

In a multi-generational, hybrid, and increasingly disconnected world, it also offers the opportunity for social connection, fosters greater understanding of the person beyond the job title, and strengthens relationships.

Why this kind of support?

 

I have spent two decades helping individuals, teams, and organisations to review, rethink, and redesign how they organise, work, and deliver.

After “hitting the wall,” as I call it, my journey to rejuvenate my wellbeing and create a “sustainable Katie” highlighted:

  • The research is clear on what we need to flourish and perform at our best.

  • We all carry work, life, and mental loads. Not recognising the whole life and full load is limiting us.

  • While burnout is a system issue, wellbeing is everyone’s business and we all have a part to play.

  • Ad hoc classes, mindfulness apps, and the health system only go so far and are simply pieces of a bigger puzzle.

  • Many of the concepts and tools I used in my work to support teams and organisations could also help individuals handle their loads, navigate life and work, and enhance their wellbeing.

By intentionally taking a wellbeing-grounded whole-person whole-life approach and using design thinking and tools, we can change the game and put all the pieces of the puzzle together in a way that works for both individuals AND the organisations they work for.

You don’t need to figure this out alone.

Whether it’s for you, your organisation, your community, or clients, let’s discuss getting you from where you are to where you want to be.
