Interactive Activities-16 Habit Building Experiences
4 days-Certificate-Live Facilitated by Our Team
Day 1: Base Camp
Base Camp is all about setting the foundation for the rest of programme. This day is really about embedding the idea that our minds and bodies should not be considered separately, but as one single being that must be improved holistically.

This concept is developed through three key foundational skills: communication, mastery of the flow state, and exercise. These skills are going to be the stepping stone to set your students up for success for the rest of the Programme.
EXPERIENCES
💬 Communication Masterclass
How we relate to other people colours every corner of our lives, therefore, communication is one of the most important life skills you could ever master.
🤸 Embodied Cognition and New Tricks
Embodied cognition is a scientific concept that can help you understand exactly how your mind and body integrate so that you can learn, grow, and perform better
🌊 The Power of Flow
Understand the concept of flow, and how it can help you level up every aspect of your life.
👟 Exercise: Why Working Out Works
You are your body; don’t neglect it. Discover how moving more has benefits for all aspects of your mental and physical health.
Day 2: The Ascent
Ascension focuses on physical health and fitness, building on the concept of embodied cognition. This day’s focus is on physical health, and will ensure your body will carry you to the summit on the next day.

The tenets of physical health, such like exercise, nutrition, and sleep will supercharge every aspect of your student's achievement, whether or not they are an athlete or think of themselves as a ‘physical’ person.
EXPERIENCES
⭕️ Feedback Loops
The art of giving and receiving feedback is an important life skill.
🥎 Understanding Exercise
Understand the science of exercise and fitness; discover how to work out smarter.
🥗 Eat Yourself Well
How the right nutrition can help you achieve your goals, in the gym, field, classroom, or the arena of life.
💤 Sleep Hygiene
We often underestimate the importance of rest, but the quality and quantity of your sleep will help you do better in all aspects of life.
Day 3: Summit
This day focuses on mastering the self, so that your students can transcend their own expectations. There’s a particular emphasis on solid coping skills and strategies to deal with adversity, temptation, stress, and anxiety.

Day 3 ensures your students don’t fall as they climb their mountain of ambition. In life, everybody slips, but we will show your students how to get back up again.
EXPERIENCES
🚧 The Rocky Road: Dealing with Adversity
How can we deal with adversity and become better, more resilient people?
🧘‍♂️ Dealing with Anxiety
Anxiety can be debilitating, and stress can easily overwhelm you. Here is your toolbox for coping.
🌗 Moderation is the Spice of Life
Set yourself up for wellbeing and avoid the pitfalls of unhealthy coping mechanisms: that’s the power of moderation!
🎭 Active and Passive Consumption
Think critically about what you consume online, and become a more intentional, and happier, person.
Day 4: Planting the Flag
You’ve reached the top of the mountain - where your students will take everything they've learned and create well-defined and ambitious goals. These goals are the flag they can plant on the summit of their ambition.

We end the programme with high-level insight into the best way to stay on track, stop any self-sabotage, and be their own best friend in their pursuit of excellence. That’s why we focus on the importance of self- talk, the best way to work with your brain and not against it.
EXPERIENCES
🧠 Mould Your Brain: Habits
Discover the wonder of neuroplasticity: the science of how your brain is built to learn new things.
📣 Self-Talk
How you talk to yourself has huge implications for your flourishing and success. Harness the power of positive self-talk.
🧩 Brain Fitness
Your brain is the most important organ in the body, so what are the components of brain fitness?
🎯 Goals and Visualisation
Achieving starts with visualisation; get to grips with the best way to set, and smash, your goals.
Celebration Day
There will be a celebration day in November. This will consist of multiple 1-2 hour webinars in each timezone. The students will join, and take part in reminders of the Programme.
