Laughing Geese

Laughing Geese Dynamic and fun resources for professional staff and managers, unpaid carers and creatives You know that health and social care staff do amazing work.

To recognise and strengthen best practice through creative, solution-focused, human-shaped learning programmes, with coaching for effective care of self and others. Maybe you also know that the UK government estimates care staff sickness absence is costing more than 10 billion £ a year. Maybe you know that the King's Fund (research organisation) showed that a quarter of health and social care staff and a third of managers are experiencing anxiety, stress and depression. Well, - we work with staff and managers to find better-feeling approaches and staff support systems. We also work with people who face similar challenges but who don't have the support of an organisation. We know that people who connect with a sense of love, hope and empowerment are more motivated to self-care. They are also more able to practice wellness-focused approaches that make a positive difference to themselves and others. This reduces stress, increases ideas for fresh approaches and inspires all involved. Feedback from Karrie's workshops and programmes around the UK:
'Uplifting and practical. Packed with ideas. Feel more confident about what I can do.'
'One of the best courses I've been on. Fun, informative and totally inspiring!'
'Goes wider and deeper than other courses'
'Out of all the courses I've done, this one opened something up for me. I have a real sense of excitement for the first time in years!'
'As a manager I found your approach refreshing and compassionate. It's helped us communicate more effectively.'

Reposting exciting news about a heart-led programme on my new website that starts this Monday - for people who want to:
1. live more authentically and aligned with their true passions, interests and desires,
2. replace outdated myths about ageing, worth or limitation - with empowering truths.
3. Use brain-friendly micro-resets that build calm, clarity and confidence to be yourself - and to go for what matters to you.

Don't worry if you miss the first session. The group session will be available online with other resources (for members only). Looking forward to it all... https://www.karriemarshall.com/joinus

Heres a model of the brain in a safe state… the prefrontal cortex is functioning, thinking, well… planning, organising, problem solving, decision making … and all is connected directly or indirectly to the rest of the brain… the amygdala and hippocampus are calm ☺️ In this state the brain can explore, make new neural connections, try new things, store new knowledge, enjoy the process.
In a fear state (stress state) it cannot imagine or think beyond what it already knows how to do… it’s n a protection state. Understanding how to create safe spaces really matters for staff and learners.

Looking forward to being part of this event tomorruw Friday) exploring Adult Learning through the years… and sharing ideas and imaginations about possibilities for tte future…
especially for learning experiences that are compassionate, creative and relevant to individuals….

Over the last 125 years Adult Learning has been through many visionary changes … from education for all, to personal growth and fulfilment, then community based learning and recreation, learning for social change, and skills for employability..digital skills etc… …
and now we’re in an era of balancing all of these needs and addressing increasing global needs for environmental care, health and well-being, …
Valuing adult learning beyond the easily measurable outcomes is going to mean widening our understanding of what counts as evidence…
it means appreciation of how creative, brain friendly learning experiences support adults at all levels to move from resistance to ease, from fear to confidence. When we make space for those approaches, everyone benefits. .

Our last workshop was yesterday through Nairn Book and Arts Festival . We loved working with the wonderful people at St Olaf Care Home . A great way to end!! Look at these stunning fabric collages. Spot the kite-surfer, the fabulous boats and various skies. There was a lot of chatter and buzz as people created their artworks, making lots of design decisions. The work was based on artist Paul Klee's love of colour. People described the session as enjoyable and therapeutic. Thank you to Elena who ensured people were supported to attend, and to everyone involved at the book and art festival. There are still many more festival events to attend... check out their website and face book page www.nairnfestival.co.uk
