Heddway | Mental Fitness Training

 
Exercise strengthens the body; mental fitness strengthens the mind.

 

 

Our jobs have a significant impact on our mental wellbeing and conversely, our mental fitness has a significant impact on our ability to perform our jobs. 

Mental fitness is the key to handling personal and professional challenges with a positive mindset. Just as physical fitness strengthens the body, mental fitness strengthens the mind. But starting on your mental fitness journey can feel a bit like walking into a new gym – the machines seem foreign and it’s hard to know what exercises to start with. 

Our training courses focus on sharing easy-to-understand, practical, and scientifically-backed tools that help improve mental fitness, mindset and well-being, both in life and in the workplace.

 

Why train for 
mental fitness?

 

The question shouldn’t be, “Why train mental fitness?” It should be, “Why aren’t you?” Poor mental health costs UK employers around £2,000 per employee. These numbers not only demonstrate a financial strain on businesses but, more importantly, highlight a growing crisis: the lack of well-being and happiness among individuals in the workplace. But all is not lost!

 

Mental fitness is everybody’s business

 

Heddway is your compass in the chaos, providing mental fitness training that helps individuals and businesses develop focus, optimism, and resilience while assisting managers in supporting their teams' well-being. This results in happier, healthier, and more productive employees, leading to improved presenteeism and reduced absenteeism and staff turnover.

Fulfil your mental fitness potential

 
In collaboration with Heddway, George James Ltd. offers mental fitness training modules as part of its tailored training program. Each business, team, and individual is unique, so we’ll start by having a conversation to discuss your goals and guiding principles in order to create a customised workshop.
 
 Whatever topics you decide to cover, you can be sure your employees will come away ready to contribute to a more robust company culture, demonstrate higher levels of engagement, and help continually cultivate a workplace where mental health is openly discussed and valued.

 

A note from Luke Evans, founder of Heddway:

“My own journey to mental wellness wasn't easy - I faced anger, insecurity, anxiety, and depression. Through vulnerability, meditation, and connection, I found a path forward. Combining life lessons with my background in chemistry and education, I created Heddway: a personal mission to offer practical, science-backed tools for mental fitness. Heddway is here to help individuals and teams strengthen their mental well-being, both in life and at work.”

Don't just take our word for it
Here's what our customers say...

“Thank you very much for all of the training sessions since August! I received a lot of great feedback from our Sales Team members about all that they have taken away from the trainings. The role playing session was extremely helpful in coaching them to use all concepts earlier training sessions to the end: qualification - NAMTCR, how to develop relationship with KOL's, facing competition, handling objections (APIAC), and making great presentations. The team very much enjoyed everything, and appreciate that you made it fun! We are all much more equipped than before!"
