What does connection look like on Zoom?

It looks like this 😂

Mental Health Awareness Week (11–17 May) is coming up and your team don’t need another mental health talk.

They need to feel connected again.

Because when people are working from home, it’s not the workload that dips first… it’s the energy, the laughter, that sense of belonging.

They matter
And what they do matters.

Bring that back and you’ve got

More connection.
More energy.
Less burnout.
Better work.

Simple with the 360 Joyworks Method💜

“The feedback has been so good, a lot of love for you and Nigel haha!
A lot of people are coming back saying they are gutted they couldn’t make it and
will we do it again — so I think we will be bringing you back, Sharon!!

Sharon Mathieson, Mental Health and Wellbeing Manager at SSE plc International Happiness Day Sessions.

And they did!

Again for “Time to Pause Menopause session” and an in-person event for Health Leaders “Forty Minutes to calm.”

It’s been a YEAR of The Joy Academy and I’ve had the absolute privilege of witnessing real, deep change inside this beautiful clan 💜

But real change doesn’t come from forcing positivity.

I know for that’s what kept me stuck in depression and anxiety for years.😢

It comes from showing up every week or watching the replays and using the techniques and tools while having a tremendous amount of fun with the 360 Joyworks Method. 🎉💜

So proud of these beautiful heroes for achieving these results for themselves.

“Sharon provided me with support and real skills to change my life, when I felt like I was sinking into utter hopelessness while I have a chronic illness. Just make that leap and join an amazing group of like-minded people.”
Sheryl, Ayrshire, Scotland

“I really feel it has worked on my subconscious. I have picked up a ‘can do’ attitude, behaviour change and authenticity in a deep-rooted way, rather than just periphery stuff!!”
Angus, Perth, Australia

You thinking, “I need this too?”

Trust that.

✨ DM me “JOY CALL” for your FREE Joy Call (April only) and come experience it for yourself. No joy
strings. Just you.

Much love,
Sharon 💜

“Out of this situation only good will come. I am safe. All is well.”

This is one of my favourite mantras.

The epic memories and the teachings I shared every day on these free daily joy calls including this mantra helped me enormously when I went completely offline for eighteen months.

Why?

To allow wellness in when I succumbed to the virus and then Long Covid just a week after this article was published seven years ago today.

I’m so grateful for all of it. I truly believe we are never off of our path.

I could never ever have imagined the wonderful opportunities moving business online would open for Joyworks.

Surprisingly 70% of offerings are now delivered virtually 😮

It suits corporates, councils, charities and my Joy Academy clan from across the globe as they can join from anywhere and still feel the transformation. 🎉

Why?

For we know our brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined! 🧠

Can’t beat in-person though and would so love to hold a retreat for my Joy Academy clan as it grows -:)

What good came out of when the world changed for you?🌎

This message I got made me smile so!🤣

But it also made me realise something…

Our Signature Joyworks event that the lady was asking about hasn’t been rolled out yet this year 😮

Why ?

Most bookings have come from organisations I’ve already worked with — so they’re now choosing different Joyworks experiences👏

Which is why I’ve expanded how I talk about what we offer — all rooted in the 360° Joyworks Method, with different entry points depending on what your people need right now.

Right now, teams are choosing:

• Twenty Minutes to Calm – reset breath work and reduce stress

• Encouraging Joy at Work – practical, science-backed tools for large numbers

• The Joy Reset – energise + rebalance merging two o Ld our most popular events

• The Creativity Experience – spark fresh thinking an Ld perspective

• Loving What Is – self-compassion + mental wellbeing

Your teams and client groups don’t need more information.

They need something that shifts how they actually feel and be inspired to make the changes and think differently.

If you’re planning ahead or reviewing budgets…

Message me “JOY” and I’ll send you our our brochure .

And if you’re new?
Start with the Signature event… it’s worth the Benny Hill music 😁
Or come join our Joy Academy!

Being around kids always feels magical to me.

I don’t have my own, but before Joyworks I spent a lifetime working with them as a primary teacher then through theatre, drama and the arts before setting up Joyworks.
I’m so grateful to be around my cousins’ wee ones - what brilliant wee humans they are in our lives. Just three out of the grand wee clan yesterday .

I just love their energy, their honesty, spontaneity and the way they throw themselves fully into everything and how great they all are with each other.
I spent Easter Sunday with my sister and my wee niece on the tradition that is on a magnificent egg hunt at my Aunt Liz’s farm, rolling eggs and eating delicious food surrounded by beautiful nature. Hard to imagine the heavy snow just a couple of hours before it!

It was pure joy 💜

Did you give yourself a proper holiday weekend? What did you get up to?

Happy Holidays dear ones 💕💕

This wee beauty has been the topic of many conversations lately!

It’s the scarcity factor isn’t it 😅

I remember being in India at Isha Yoga — 7 days on a water diet…
and THIS is what I fantasised about 🤣

We got one date to celebrate someone’s birthday during it and I’ve never tasted anything so good in my life.

That’s the thing.

When we slow down…
When we actually savour…

💜 joy hits differently.

(Although let’s be honest… this one didn’t last long 😂)

Usually I’m a date shake girl — that one date impacted me greatly - oat milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom… dreamy.

But today?

Cadbury’s wins 🐣

What’s filling your joy cup this weekend?

Wishing you a wonderful one !

Much love sharon ###

There’s a lot going on right now… and it’s affecting your team more than you think.

And whether we realise it or not…

It’s impacting how your people feel
How they show up
And how they connect at work

Some people are okay.

But many are tired.
Flat.
A bit disconnected from themselves and each other.

Overwhelmed

And that’s natural even although it doesn’t always get spoken about.

On the surface, everything can look fine.

But underneath?

Energy is lower
Connection takes more effort
People are just getting through the day

This is where Joyworks comes in.

We create spaces where people can pause, see their colleagues in another different light and feel like themselves again.

Not through another ‘mental health talk!’ about what they should do to feel better

But an uplifting exhilarating experience that inspires them to take care of themselves and each other!

And gives profound simple tools on how to do it weaved through the event in a refreshingly different out of the box Joyworks way !!

A way that makes everyone feel alive again.

And it happens within minutes with the 360 Joyworks method which brings together ancient wisdom, creativity, laughter therapy positive psychology and neuroscience!

And from there - communication improves, people feel like connecting , work itself feels less heavy and your people open up and are more productive.

Why ?

Joy works!

If you’re thinking about doing something for your team, just message me — happy to chat it through!

Watch Sam share what her and her team felt at Accenture - they choose the “Unleash Your Joy Superhero” Offering 👇

If you’re noticing your team feels a bit different lately — even in small ways…

Let’s make joy work for them and it’s starts with a wee call or email sharon@joyworks.co.uk 💜

Back then, I wore black.

Mostly because I thought it made me look thinner… and more “the part” 🙈

Now?

You’ll usually find me in purple, blue and cream —Joyworks colours and it means so much more than just colour.

After going through illness, I really started to understand deeper how much what we see, feel,eat and surround ourselves with affects our energy.

And at the end of the day what I wear doesn’t matter.

But what shifts inside your people when I speak.

I live for the moments where they remember how brilliant they actually are 💜

Last year lit something back up in me after speaking at some inspiring Scottish Summits .

And this year I’ve already had 4 paid speaking gigs booked — and I’m honestly grateful for every single ons of them and can’t wait to get into the rest of the rooms ! ✨

If you’re planning something and want people to leave feeling lighter, more connected and more themselves…

Come and find me 💫
