One of the region’s top life and leadership coaches is coming to the rescue of stressed out businesses leaders with her new meditative health series.Paula McCormack, who owns Paula McCormack Ltd, based in the Hoults Estate, Newcastle, is releasing the first step in her Adaptive Approach series which she has been perfecting over several years.
Paula has been working in human resources and leadership coaching for the past 20 years, and inspired by the stress and strain she found the recession was putting businesses under, decided to create The Adaptive Approach to help individuals and organisations find focus in a different way.
Stress related illnesses such as depression are becoming more and more widespread, with reports suggesting self-diagnosed, work-related stress, depression or anxiety accounted for an estimated 11.4 million working days lost in the UK in 2008/9.
This, coupled with recent statistics showing that the North East has higher than average hospital admissions for depression in England (78.2 per 100,000 compared to 69.0 per 100,000), it is more necessary than ever to find ways to restore self belief and boost confidence.
The Adaptive You is the first in a series of Adaptive meditation and coaching products to help workers deal with these stresses, relax and find inner focus. This first series consists of five stages, including A Journey Within, The Chillax Space and Your True Essence.
The programme is available to everyone, and features relaxing music coupled with Paula’s soothing vocal tones to help workers feel completely relaxed and become in tune with their bodies. She believes the programme can help participants to separate their work and home life, let go of stressful self-doubts or insecurities, restore inner belief and build confidence and a gradually heightened sense of self-awareness.
The Adaptive programme and has already been snapped up by several organisations in the North East, including Lynch Healthcare, the ISOS Group and Sunderland based people and property business Gentoo. Gentoo was one of the first companies to try Paula’s forthcoming ‘Adaptive Coach’ method. The programme is available as a download, CD or as an inspirational workshop.
The rest of the Adaptive Series, which includes The Adaptive Team, Leader and Charity, will be available to download in the coming months, with a series of books and other materials to follow shortly after.
Deborah Piggett, Gentoo’s director of organisational development said: “This programme has been the most valuable and thought provoking learning experience I have ever had. It challenges you to re-think everything about your role in the workplace.”
Paula said: “I am delighted to launch the first step in the Adaptive Approach after perfecting it for a number of years. I’ve already received such positive feedback, and can’t wait for others to try the recordings.”
In 2003, Paula took the plunge and set up her own business, Ellmac Partnership Ltd, which she relaunched earlier this year as Paula McCormack Ltd. The company offers a comprehensive, flexible approach to leadership and coaching, tailoring a programme fully to meet a client’s individual needs.
Paula is especially passionate about the growth of social enterprises in the North East, and has dedicated much of her time to helping charitable organisations and SMEs including North Eastern Care, the Dementia Care Partnership and Skills for Care.
Paula is a highly qualified hypnotherapist, counsellor and leadership facilitator and is also trained to use a number of psychological tools including Myers Briggs Type Indicator, FIRO-B, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and 16PF to help organisations and individuals reach performance goals and overcome periods of change.
