    A lot of pressure and little peace of mind

    Does this sound familiar?

    Little peace of mind

    Your head is often full. Even in the evening all sorts of things keep playing through your mind.

    Trouble relaxing

    During free moments or holidays you can't really let go. You're there but you're not really there.

    Quickly irritated

    Small things can throw you off balance. A busy household, a colleague asking something, traffic. It costs you more energy than you'd like.

    Less enjoyment

    You notice you no longer fully enjoy the nice moments. You're there but your head is often somewhere else.

    Hard to switch off at night

    You want to sleep but your head is still busy. You long for a good night's rest.

    Peace of mind and a life full of joy

    Scientifically proven effects:

    Quiet thoughts

    Your thoughts are where you want them to be. You feel peace of mind.

    Scientifically proven to measurably reduce pressure.

    Truly enjoying things

    You're really there in what you're doing. Moments with family, friends or for yourself become full again.

    Attention training makes people more satisfied with their life.

    Emotions under control

    Small irritations get to you less quickly. You respond consciously instead of automatically.

    Participants develop better control over their reactions.

    More joy in life

    You pick up details again that you used to miss. Food tastes better, conversations feel deeper, walks give you energy.

    Lasting behavioural change. Not a temporary effect.

    Better sleep quality

    Your head settles down before you go to sleep. You fall asleep more easily and wake up more rested.

    Participants sleep noticeably better.

    People during attention and concentration training for better performance and less stress
    Week 1Control centre

    Breaking through autopilot

    Where are your thoughts while you're brushing your teeth? Probably already in your first meeting or your to-do list. Learn to notice when your thoughts wander off and bring your attention back to what you're doing right now. You train your control centre by consciously paying attention to your current activity, again and again.

    Week 2Warning system

    Spotting early warning signals

    Train your warning system so you notice tense shoulders, a tight jaw or shallow breathing before pressure takes over. You take back control because your feeling antennas get sharper.

    Week 3Control centreWarning system

    Working with pressure and stress

    Under pressure your working memory often gets overloaded. This week you learn a short 3-minute exercise that quickly brings your head back to a calm and clear state. You also discover how to plan smart breaks. So you stay sharp throughout the day.

    Week 4Control centreWarning system

    Mental clarity

    Not every thought is a fact. You learn to recognise the difference between productive thinking and getting stuck in rumination. You also learn to observe your thoughts instead of going along with them. The result: more peace of mind and less worrying.

    Week 5Warning system

    Stress recovery through kindness

    The inner critic works harder under pressure. Learn to treat yourself with kindness. It's the switch that calms your nervous system and creates space for clear thinking.

    Week 6Control centreWarning system

    Lasting integration into your life

    Recognise your thought patterns and make the techniques you've learned a lasting part of your daily routine. Build your own toolbox for any situation.

    Frequently asked questions

    Research shows that online is just as effective as in person. Because it's just as effective, we choose the option that costs participants the least time. No travel time, just from home or the office.

    Stress costs employers a huge amount of money. Both in sick leave and in lower performance. Employers are happy to help you improve this. We hand you a brochure that makes it easy for your employer to understand and approve.

    When you start you get a workbook from us. It contains a piece of theory and short exercises for each week. You also receive audio recordings of the exercises. Some exercises you do during daily activities like brushing your teeth, showering or doing the dishes. So no extra time. Other exercises ask you to sit quietly in a chair for 12 minutes.

    Participants do their "brain push-ups" in two ways. In the planned training you do a 12-minute audio exercise each day where you focus your attention on your breathing or your body. Sounds easy? Your mind doesn't think so. Within seconds you're thinking about your to-do's or that meeting. Every moment you bring your focus back is the push-up that strengthens your control centre. You also train in your daily life by bringing conscious attention to everyday activities. During your morning coffee, on your way to work or before you go into an important meeting. It costs no extra time and you become more productive in what you do.

    If you miss a session you can call the trainer to still get all the information. The workbook also contains everything you need. For the best result it's important not to miss more than one session.

    Innerleaps' awareness trainings build on evidence-based programmes such as MBSR, MBCT and WorkplaceMT. The foundation rests on 12 scientific studies, including multiple meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials. The evidence is strong enough that the U.S. military has incorporated attention training into its official doctrine (U.S. Army Field Manual 7-22), and organisations like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Nestlé and Unilever have implemented similar programmes.

    Innerleaps participants show measurable improvements in exactly the areas where most organisations feel the pain: 65 to 72% experience less stress 60 to 84% show a reduction in burn-out symptoms 64 to 77% become more resilient 58 to 60% are more productive at work 57 to 78% sleep better The risk of long-term sick leave drops by 70% (from 54.4% to 16.4%) Importantly, these effects are sustained for at least 12 months after the training. This is not a temporary boost, but lasting behavioural change.

    Innerleaps improves your performance by optimising working memory, the mental "workbench" where thinking, deciding and acting happen. This works through three mechanisms: First, relevant information is selected faster and irrelevant information is suppressed better. Your concentration increases, distraction decreases. Research shows up to 24% improvement on attention tasks (Jha et al., 2021). Second, stress and pressure normally occupy a large share of working memory. When that pressure decreases, capacity is freed up for the task itself. Third, working memory becomes more efficient: better results with less neural effort (Bailey et al., 2020). You perform sharper and have energy left at the end of the day.
