Accommodating groups of up to 10 people, workshops are typically half a day in duration and span several core areas, such as:
-
NUTRITION: Dietary strategies for sustained energy and cognitive performance throughout the day.
-
HYDRATION: The role hydration plays in mental energy and decision-making, and how to meet individual hydration needs with ease.
-
SLEEP: Powerful sleep-optimisation tactics for overnight recovery, next-day performance and wellbeing.
-
EXERCISE: The benefits of general activity, as well as brief but effective exercise protocols for boosting fitness and strength, even when time-poor.
-
PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE: Key mental tactics for managing stress, supporting critical thinking, and boosting resilience.
-
BREATHING: How to use breathing exercises to induce desired states such as focus, calm, or sleep, as well as specific techniques for enhancing general state and athletic performance.
-
PRODUCTIVITY: High-leverage strategies for managing tasks and time to boost productivity and effectiveness.
In each area, Dr Briffa provides key scientific underpinnings, as well as actionable advice for how to incorporate strategies into everyday life. Content delivery is punctuated with time for questions.
The plenary session is highly practical, and also supported by a bespoke workbook that provides a concise summary of the workshop learnings, as well as an action-planning template to support lasting change.
INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATIONS:
Workshops will usually include one-to-one time with Dr Briffa.

-
Lifestyle-related advice, concerning diet, exercise or sleep
-
Challenges that are principally emotional or psychological in nature
-
A medical issue, including persistent, unresolved or unexplained symptoms
-
Challenges relating to someone else (e.g. partner or child)
