Reflecting on a busy couple of months at hygge associates.

We have seen growth in our coaching and mentoring work with a really interesting and diverse group of valued clients. Among them we have:

- a business owner looking to significantly grow the business over the next ten years.
- a senior exec developing a plan for the later stages in their career.
- an individual getting back into work after a career break.
- a business owner assessing various options for the future of their business.
- an individual who has moved to a new role and looking to maximise the opportunity it presents.

The conversations we have with our clients are really inspiring and we come away from them full of energy as we co-create their futures with a blend of mentoring and coaching.

It’s so important that we talk about mental health as much as we talk about physical health. Together we can remove the stigma and ensure mental health is no longer a taboo subject.

If you are struggling and need someone to talk to please speak to a friend, colleague or family member, or pick up the phone to one of the organisations below. It’s okay not to be okay, but you don’t need to deal with it alone.

Mental Health Awareness Week has begun 💙

Please share far and wide!

In addition we are looking for suitable associates to collaborate with on future webinars. If you feel you have experience that would mesh nicely with ours then please get in touch and we can have a chat. Our topics are focussed on well-being, leadership, change management alongside empowering women and neurodivergent people.

As we develop our own business at Hygge Associates we are in the "start-up" phase. It's well known that during this phase we are very reliant on our existing network of friends, family and colleagues etc to be our first customers and to help promote our business.

On that basis we are offering a friends and family offer (who doesn't like an offer!) for our mentoring and coaching programme. If you are struggling to make progress at work or in your personal life, or are going for your next promotion, or coming back to work after a career break.....we can offer you three sessions for the price of two.

Sessions are usually once every three to four weeks and delivered online, although for local clients we can meet face to face, or even do it during a leisurely walk.

In addition we have our Introduction to Stress Awareness Webinar at the end of the month.

Please get in touch for a chat if you're interested [email protected].

It’s a little over two weeks until our first webinar in a series of four. Places are limited and available to book on the link below. The session is intended for people leaders and will upskill you on how to manage the stress of you and others in the workplace.

As part of Stress Awareness Month in April, this session is suitable for anyone looking to improve their understanding of stress, whether you are an employee, manager, or business owner.

We will cover:
- What stress is, explore the stress response and its causes, and learn to recognise the different signs and symptoms of stress
- Why stress management matters, including the long-term effects of stress
- Practical strategies to help you manage your own stress levels
- Understanding why stress is also a workplace issue
- Creating a positive environment to support staff wellbeing, how to monitor and minimize the risks of workplace stress, as well as employers’ responsibilities

In this awareness session we will explore what stress is, why stress matters and practical measures to manage it in the workplace.

After being a finalist in the mentor category, at the Women in Construction and Engineering Awards in 2023, we are very proud to announce that Paul has been selected as a Judge for this years event.

Paul says “I’m looking forward to meeting all the candidates towards the end of April and hearing about their inspiring career journey. I expect it will be a tough job to select the winner in amongst some very impressive submissions.”

Congratulations to Paul, this is real testament to his championing of women in business, not only in construction but across the market sectors.

An interesting morning for hygge associates at a Hampshire Chamber of Commerce networking event at The Gurkha Museum Trust in Wi******er. It was great to learn about the Gurkhas and the exciting plans for the museum in the form of Project Kaida. Really useful to meet lots of other local business leaders, give our elevator pitch and swap details. Good to know business cards are still a thing alongside LinkedIn QR codes for when the tech doesn't quite work!

A special mention to the charities etc that were present:
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance
Wessex Cancer Support
The Brickworks Museum - Bursledon
Safe New Futures
YMCA Fairthorne Group
Maggie's in Southampton
