Getting people to sign up is easy. Getting them to finish is the hard part.
Every provider has good material. Where we make the difference is that almost all of our participants finish the programme.
9 in 10
of the people who start with us attend at least 5 of the 6 sessions.
Push-ups for your brain
With our method, people train their brain. Just like you build muscle at the gym, participants train two crucial systems with our brain push-ups.
The control centre gets stronger, which means better focus and a more efficient working memory. And the warning system sharpens, so pressure doesn’t pile up.
Everyone already knows what helps. Under pressure, people fall back on habits, and habits only change through repetition. That is why this is training, not advice.
Bas Co-founder & trainerA stronger control centre
The part of your brain that decides what gets your attention. Six weeks of practice makes it stronger, so tension takes up less mental space and focus comes back faster.
- More room to hold informationInformation stays put, and comes back when you need it.
- Attention that staysStrong concentration that is less easily thrown by distractions and interruptions.
- Less bothered by noiseYou filter out what doesn’t matter more easily.
A sharper warning system
The part of your brain that notices tension in your body. Six weeks of practice makes it sharper, so you feel stress coming before it takes over.
- Notice stress soonerTense shoulders, a tight jaw, shallow breathing. You feel it before it escalates.
- Recognise emotionsYou know whether it is irritation, worry or fatigue, instead of just feeling off.
- Adjust in timeYou notice you are getting rushed or short with people while it happens, not that evening.
Improving performance
Employee performance improves through optimization of working memory. Relevant information is selected faster and irrelevant information is better suppressed. Concentration goes up while distraction goes down. Research shows up to 24% improvement on attention tasks (Jha et al., 2021).
On top of that, tension and pressure take up working memory. When that tension drops, capacity is freed up for the task itself. Working memory also becomes more efficient: it delivers better results with less neural effort (Bailey et al., 2020).
6 weeks for real behaviour change
Each week there's a group session with an accredited trainer, where employees reflect on their exercises and challenges.
- 6 group workshops of 60 minutes
- Workbook with background and assignments
- Audio recordings for daily practice
The result? Behaviour that sticks. The effects on stress, burnout and productivity are still visible 6 to 12 months after the training (Vonderlin et al., 2020; Michaelsen et al., 2023).
