Less pressure and more peace of mind

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.
