WEBVTT

00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:07.862 align:center
I'm Kate Cook and I'm about

00:00:07.903 --> 00:00:09.505 align:center
to tell you something that might

00:00:09.545 --> 00:00:10.165 align:center
surprise you.

00:00:10.606 --> 00:00:13.209 align:center
I don't think your workplace wellness

00:00:13.249 --> 00:00:15.172 align:center
problem is about wellness at all.

00:00:16.554 --> 00:00:19.017 align:center
It's about energy, it's about performance,

00:00:19.377 --> 00:00:22.041 align:center
it's about mental resilience and it's

00:00:22.101 --> 00:00:23.963 align:center
about whether your people can actually

00:00:23.983 --> 00:00:26.406 align:center
think clearly at 3pm on a

00:00:26.426 --> 00:00:28.809 align:center
Wednesday when they're making important

00:00:28.869 --> 00:00:29.470 align:center
decisions.

00:00:29.790 --> 00:00:32.474 align:center
And it's definitely about whether they

00:00:32.514 --> 00:00:33.776 align:center
can make it through the week

00:00:34.177 --> 00:00:36.540 align:center
without wanting to throw their laptop

00:00:37.121 --> 00:00:38.323 align:center
out of the window.

00:00:38.343 --> 00:00:41.147 align:center
I'm a nutritionist, but I promise

00:00:41.227 --> 00:00:42.469 align:center
you I'm not going to tell

00:00:42.509 --> 00:00:43.651 align:center
you to give up your coffee

00:00:44.312 --> 00:00:46.255 align:center
or eat kale for breakfast.

00:00:46.896 --> 00:00:48.298 align:center
I mean, I might suggest it,

00:00:48.658 --> 00:00:49.640 align:center
but I'm not going to judge

00:00:49.660 --> 00:00:50.641 align:center
you if you don't do it.

00:00:51.002 --> 00:00:52.104 align:center
Honestly, I'm not.

00:00:52.624 --> 00:00:54.127 align:center
Because here's the thing.

00:00:54.708 --> 00:00:56.330 align:center
I've been doing this for over

00:00:56.570 --> 00:00:59.394 align:center
25 years and I've learnt that

00:00:59.474 --> 00:01:01.516 align:center
lecturing people about what they should

00:01:01.556 --> 00:01:03.599 align:center
and shouldn't eat doesn't work.

00:01:04.880 --> 00:01:07.263 align:center
But when you feel the power,

00:01:07.864 --> 00:01:11.288 align:center
the energy, the light, your enthusiasm

00:01:11.328 --> 00:01:13.451 align:center
switch back on, then you see

00:01:13.511 --> 00:01:16.855 align:center
nutrition and your wellbeing aren't boring

00:01:16.935 --> 00:01:17.356 align:center
at all.

00:01:17.917 --> 00:01:20.560 align:center
They are life changing.

00:01:21.160 --> 00:01:22.702 align:center
As well as a speaker and

00:01:22.742 --> 00:01:24.664 align:center
presenter, I'm a trained coach and

00:01:24.724 --> 00:01:25.224 align:center
mentor.

00:01:25.645 --> 00:01:27.987 align:center
I work with people, always with

00:01:28.048 --> 00:01:29.469 align:center
that red thread of health and

00:01:29.529 --> 00:01:33.013 align:center
vitality, but on confidence, mental health,

00:01:33.433 --> 00:01:35.936 align:center
and finding purpose, because I've learnt

00:01:35.996 --> 00:01:38.619 align:center
you can't separate the nutrition from

00:01:38.639 --> 00:01:39.860 align:center
mental wellbeing.

00:01:40.321 --> 00:01:42.543 align:center
They're completely intertwined.

00:01:43.745 --> 00:01:46.728 align:center
Your gut produces about 80% of

00:01:46.768 --> 00:01:48.610 align:center
your body's serotonin.

00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:50.262 align:center
That's your happy hormone.

00:01:50.763 --> 00:01:53.667 align:center
So what you eat directly impacts

00:01:53.727 --> 00:01:56.831 align:center
your mood, your anxiety, your ability

00:01:56.891 --> 00:01:57.752 align:center
to handle stress.

00:01:58.413 --> 00:02:00.576 align:center
And when you combine proper nutrition

00:02:00.876 --> 00:02:03.420 align:center
with the right tool set and

00:02:03.460 --> 00:02:06.244 align:center
support, that's when real transformation

00:02:06.324 --> 00:02:06.784 align:center
happens.

00:02:07.665 --> 00:02:09.288 align:center
So what I do is help

00:02:09.328 --> 00:02:11.390 align:center
people understand that connection and give

00:02:11.451 --> 00:02:15.035 align:center
them practical, realistic strategies they can

00:02:15.236 --> 00:02:18.120 align:center
use in their real, messy, busy

00:02:18.180 --> 00:02:18.500 align:center
lives.

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:23.006 align:center
No preaching, no judgment, just science-based

00:02:23.126 --> 00:02:24.488 align:center
tools delivered in a way that

00:02:24.568 --> 00:02:26.771 align:center
actually, dare I say it, fun.

00:02:28.894 --> 00:02:30.817 align:center
Look, maybe you're responsible for the

00:02:30.857 --> 00:02:32.779 align:center
wellbeing of your workplace and you're

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:33.981 align:center
seeing things that worry you.

00:02:34.922 --> 00:02:38.127 align:center
It could be exhaustion,

00:02:39.088 --> 00:02:41.271 align:center
absenteeism that's

00:02:41.331 --> 00:02:44.575 align:center
climbing, mental health issues that are

00:02:44.635 --> 00:02:47.980 align:center
increasing, morale that's tanking.

00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:50.342 align:center
productivity that's suffering.

00:02:51.364 --> 00:02:53.086 align:center
And maybe you're seeing people who

00:02:53.186 --> 00:02:55.288 align:center
are really struggling with confidence, with

00:02:55.368 --> 00:02:57.351 align:center
stress, that feeling of, well, just

00:02:57.891 --> 00:02:58.592 align:center
not coping.

00:02:59.313 --> 00:03:01.375 align:center
The mental load is real and

00:03:01.436 --> 00:03:02.597 align:center
it's taking a toll.

00:03:03.278 --> 00:03:06.502 align:center
You've tried things, yoga sessions, fruit

00:03:06.562 --> 00:03:09.265 align:center
bowls, wellbeing webinars, mental health

00:03:09.325 --> 00:03:09.705 align:center
awareness

00:03:09.745 --> 00:03:12.989 align:center
campaigns, but maybe they're not moving

00:03:13.029 --> 00:03:13.610 align:center
the needle.

00:03:13.940 --> 00:03:16.304 align:center
and you want something that actually

00:03:16.344 --> 00:03:18.968 align:center
delivers real results, not just another

00:03:19.368 --> 00:03:21.832 align:center
tick box exercise that gets forgotten

00:03:21.912 --> 00:03:22.674 align:center
by next week.

00:03:23.255 --> 00:03:24.777 align:center
And I understand, because I've worked

00:03:24.877 --> 00:03:28.222 align:center
with hundreds of organisations facing exactly

00:03:28.262 --> 00:03:30.947 align:center
the same challenge over 25 plus

00:03:30.987 --> 00:03:33.551 align:center
years, believe it or not, I

00:03:33.591 --> 00:03:37.076 align:center
believe it's because most wellbeing programmes

00:03:37.677 --> 00:03:39.580 align:center
are missing the foundation.

00:03:40.550 --> 00:03:42.153 align:center
So here's what I've learnt after

00:03:42.173 --> 00:03:44.737 align:center
25 years, plus working with hundreds

00:03:44.777 --> 00:03:47.741 align:center
of organisations from construction sites to

00:03:47.782 --> 00:03:48.843 align:center
boardrooms.

00:03:49.384 --> 00:03:51.187 align:center
You can't meditate your way out

00:03:51.267 --> 00:03:52.048 align:center
of burnout.

00:03:52.669 --> 00:03:55.013 align:center
It's if your brain isn't properly

00:03:55.133 --> 00:03:55.514 align:center
fuelled.

00:03:55.574 --> 00:03:57.497 align:center
You can't think positive when your

00:03:57.517 --> 00:03:58.659 align:center
blood sugar is crashing.

00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:01.183 align:center
You can't build resilience when you're

00:04:01.243 --> 00:04:03.627 align:center
running on caffeine and stress hormones.

00:04:04.168 --> 00:04:05.610 align:center
Your brain is an organ.

00:04:05.870 --> 00:04:07.693 align:center
it needs the right fuel to

00:04:07.753 --> 00:04:09.956 align:center
function and when your people understand

00:04:09.976 --> 00:04:12.199 align:center
that connection they can see how

00:04:12.419 --> 00:04:14.562 align:center
and what they can eat that

00:04:14.602 --> 00:04:16.985 align:center
directly impacts them and how they

00:04:17.045 --> 00:04:18.748 align:center
think and how to cope with

00:04:18.848 --> 00:04:22.974 align:center
pressure everything changes it's not just

00:04:23.034 --> 00:04:25.177 align:center
about the food it's all about

00:04:25.217 --> 00:04:27.480 align:center
other things that surround that like

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:29.863 align:center
confidence it's mental resilience it's having

00:04:29.903 --> 00:04:31.846 align:center
the tools to manage stress and

00:04:31.906 --> 00:04:34.009 align:center
bounce back from setbacks to feel

00:04:34.069 --> 00:04:34.950 align:center
like you can handle

00:04:35.110 --> 00:04:36.973 align:center
anything that life throws at you.

00:04:38.334 --> 00:04:39.236 align:center
That's my approach.

00:04:39.556 --> 00:04:43.341 align:center
Nutrition based wellness programmes combined

00:04:43.441 --> 00:04:43.622 align:center
with

00:04:44.102 --> 00:04:46.626 align:center
practical mental health strategies and

00:04:46.726 --> 00:04:47.267 align:center
confidence

00:04:47.327 --> 00:04:48.148 align:center
building tools.

00:04:48.609 --> 00:04:50.271 align:center
It addresses the root cause, not

00:04:50.311 --> 00:04:51.132 align:center
just the symptoms.

00:04:51.793 --> 00:04:53.676 align:center
And it's delivered in an informal,

00:04:53.816 --> 00:04:56.399 align:center
approachable, real way that gets people

00:04:56.960 --> 00:04:58.562 align:center
genuinely engaged.

00:04:58.743 --> 00:05:00.685 align:center
Because let's be honest, people are

00:05:00.725 --> 00:05:02.367 align:center
rolling their eyes at your wellness

00:05:02.428 --> 00:05:04.210 align:center
initiative, it's not going to work.

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.943 align:center
So who have I worked with?

00:05:07.764 --> 00:05:10.989 align:center
Well, Skanska, Boston Consulting Group,

00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:12.090 align:center
Elsevier,

00:05:12.191 --> 00:05:14.974 align:center
Accenture, Network Rail, RBS, Coots Bank,

00:05:14.994 --> 00:05:16.336 align:center
the list goes on.

00:05:17.198 --> 00:05:20.382 align:center
And in lots of different sectors

00:05:20.502 --> 00:05:20.903 align:center
as well.

00:05:20.963 --> 00:05:22.805 align:center
I've delivered training to workers, to

00:05:22.865 --> 00:05:25.209 align:center
C-suite executives in boardrooms.

00:05:25.569 --> 00:05:27.792 align:center
I've spoken at conferences, run workshops

00:05:28.133 --> 00:05:31.878 align:center
and created bespoke programmes if organisations

00:05:31.958 --> 00:05:33.360 align:center
need something different.

00:05:34.220 --> 00:05:35.763 align:center
And I get feedback like Kate

00:05:35.783 --> 00:05:37.286 align:center
really gets it, she understands our

00:05:37.387 --> 00:05:39.391 align:center
industry, she doesn't just preach and

00:05:39.411 --> 00:05:40.874 align:center
our people actually enjoyed it.

00:05:41.596 --> 00:05:43.379 align:center
That last bit's really important by

00:05:43.419 --> 00:05:45.584 align:center
the way, if your team enjoys

00:05:45.624 --> 00:05:47.668 align:center
the training, they're far more likely

00:05:47.749 --> 00:05:49.132 align:center
to use what they've learnt.

00:05:50.474 --> 00:05:52.799 align:center
So David, one of my clients

00:05:52.859 --> 00:05:53.140 align:center
said,

00:05:53.900 --> 00:05:55.482 align:center
genuine behaviour change.

00:05:55.622 --> 00:05:58.166 align:center
Gemma at Accenture said her team

00:05:58.246 --> 00:06:00.269 align:center
were fully engaged and Joel at

00:06:00.309 --> 00:06:02.713 align:center
Skanska said the training transformed their

00:06:02.773 --> 00:06:03.614 align:center
safety culture.

00:06:04.655 --> 00:06:08.561 align:center
So yeah many years ago Roxana

00:06:09.322 --> 00:06:10.283 align:center
who was at Coots at the

00:06:10.323 --> 00:06:12.006 align:center
time said that people had been

00:06:12.086 --> 00:06:14.449 align:center
inspired to lead happier and healthier

00:06:14.710 --> 00:06:17.373 align:center
lives and the best feedback that

00:06:17.454 --> 00:06:19.316 align:center
I particularly love is a client

00:06:19.356 --> 00:06:21.019 align:center
said a session with Kate is

00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.000 align:center
like a warm hug.

00:06:22.570 --> 00:06:24.494 align:center
So that's the kind of impact

00:06:24.574 --> 00:06:26.337 align:center
I'm making real change.

00:06:27.119 --> 00:06:29.243 align:center
So who is this for?

00:06:30.505 --> 00:06:32.209 align:center
If you're an HR director trying

00:06:32.249 --> 00:06:34.834 align:center
to reduce absenteeism and support mental

00:06:34.874 --> 00:06:36.257 align:center
health, if you're a health and

00:06:36.397 --> 00:06:38.842 align:center
safety manager looking for something a

00:06:38.902 --> 00:06:41.467 align:center
little different and looking to improve

00:06:41.507 --> 00:06:43.170 align:center
your safety culture and address

00:06:43.380 --> 00:06:45.383 align:center
mental health or the mental health

00:06:45.403 --> 00:06:47.286 align:center
stigma in your industry then perhaps

00:06:47.346 --> 00:06:48.227 align:center
you'd like to give me a

00:06:48.307 --> 00:06:49.910 align:center
call or if you're a learning

00:06:49.970 --> 00:06:52.294 align:center
and development manager wanting to integrate

00:06:52.414 --> 00:06:55.338 align:center
wellness and resilience into leadership

00:06:55.398 --> 00:06:55.939 align:center
programmes.

00:06:56.921 --> 00:06:58.743 align:center
If you're well-being lead trying to

00:06:58.803 --> 00:07:00.887 align:center
create initiatives that actually stick and

00:07:00.927 --> 00:07:03.270 align:center
make people feel supported then this

00:07:03.330 --> 00:07:03.811 align:center
is for you.

00:07:04.472 --> 00:07:06.615 align:center
So whether you're in construction, finance,

00:07:06.755 --> 00:07:09.800 align:center
healthcare, tech or any other industry

00:07:10.410 --> 00:07:12.134 align:center
If your people are under pressure,

00:07:12.194 --> 00:07:14.659 align:center
physical or mental, perhaps I can

00:07:14.719 --> 00:07:15.441 align:center
help.

00:07:15.461 --> 00:07:17.184 align:center
Because the principles are the same.

00:07:17.425 --> 00:07:19.469 align:center
When your people are properly fuelled,

00:07:19.890 --> 00:07:22.636 align:center
mentally resilient and confident in the

00:07:22.676 --> 00:07:24.841 align:center
ability to cope, they think more

00:07:24.921 --> 00:07:26.825 align:center
and more clearly and manage stress

00:07:27.306 --> 00:07:29.190 align:center
effectively and perform at their best.

00:07:30.590 --> 00:07:32.072 align:center
So what happens if you want

00:07:32.092 --> 00:07:32.633 align:center
to work with me?

00:07:32.833 --> 00:07:35.036 align:center
