The fastest-growing L&D topic in the UK 2024-26. WRAW (Workplace Resilience & Wellbeing), emotional agility, the 4 pillars — preventative wellbeing, not reactive crisis response.
UK workplace burnout claims are up 30% year on year. The CIPD's 2026 Health and Wellbeing at Work survey shows mental health is now the #1 reported absence cause for the first time. Most organisations respond by adding an EAP and a Mental Health First Aider — both useful, both reactive. The preventative layer — building capacity before crisis — is missing from most workplace wellbeing strategies.
This workshop is built on the WRAW (Workplace Resilience and Wellbeing) framework — the UK-developed evidence-based model used by the NHS, central government and FTSE 250 employers — combined with Susan David's emotional agility framework from her bestseller of the same name. It's the framework that treats resilience as a buildable skill, not a personality trait.
The day is built around your real working life. Delegates audit their own pillar scores in the morning, name the specific drains and refills they recognise, build a personal resilience plan in the afternoon, and leave with a 30-day practice — not a wellness poster.
Built on WRAW + Susan David's Emotional AgilityEvery TESS workshop is designed backwards from the change you want to see in your team's behaviour. Here's what coaching graduates do differently on the Monday after.
Energy, future focus, inner drive, flexible thinking — your own scores, your own gaps, the discipline of measuring rather than guessing.
The patterns of work that drain you. The 3 refill activities that demonstrably restore — chosen by evidence, not by 'shoulds'.
Susan David's emotional agility — labelling, accepting, acting on values rather than reacting on emotion.
In yourself and in your team. The pattern that precedes burnout by 6-8 weeks, and the conversation that interrupts it.
Active recovery — what works, what doesn't, why the wine-and-Netflix Friday isn't recovery.
Five small commitments — sleep, movement, attention, social, meaning — calibrated to your actual life.
Half-day format. A focused three-and-a-half hour block — the structure compresses to fit the time without losing the live practice.
Genuinely the first time I've left a coaching course able to do it on Monday. The live rounds with feedback made the difference. My 1:1s have completely changed shape.
Pricing depends on group size, delivery mode (live online vs in-person) and whether we tailor the curriculum to your sector. Closed cohorts start from a few hundred pounds per delegate for half-day workshops and scale from there. Book a 15-minute discovery call and we'll give you a concrete figure within 24 hours.
Resilience at Work is a focused half-day by design — the personal pillar audit and 30-day plan are tight enough to fit a half day, deep enough to land. A full-day version exists when you want to combine it with Mental Health First Aid for an integrated preventative-plus-reactive wellbeing module.
We're flexible. Most cohorts run with 10–20 delegates, but we regularly deliver for smaller groups of 2–4, particularly for senior teams or specialised sectors. The live coaching rounds work better with even numbers, but we'll make any group work.
Live online is our default and works well for coaching — breakout rooms make the practice rounds work cleanly. We also deliver in-person at your site or a venue you choose, particularly when the cohort already work in the same room.
Typical lead time from a first call to delivery is 2–4 weeks. We can move faster if you need to — the limiting factor is usually your calendar, not ours.
Yes. The frameworks (GROW, TGROW, observable behaviours) stay the same; the examples, exercises and case studies are tailored to your sector, tools and your team's real work. We discuss this on the discovery call and rebrief the practitioner before delivery.
Yes. Every delegate receives a CPD-certified digital certificate on completion. The certificate references the hours of learning and the frameworks covered, so it can be added directly to a CPD record for any chartered or professional body.
We allocate a TESS coaching practitioner based on your sector. All practitioners are independently qualified coaches (ILM Level 5 or equivalent) with active corporate coaching practices. We'll send the named practitioner's bio after the discovery call.
Two ways in. Book a 30-minute discovery call below, or fill out the form and we'll reply within 24 hours with cohort options for your group.
