Resilience and Wellbeing
Our Resilience and Wellbeing Coaching services offer employees time and space to rebuild their confidence and capacity to tackle their critical challenges, with renewed optimism and clarity.
Our services are designed to address individual dilemmas as well as being able to provide practical training that embeds a healthy resilient culture across any organisation.
Why Now
Over the last year, we have witnessed first hand the toll that months of uncertainty and anxiety are having on people in our client organisations. The added challenges of working from home, managing teams virtually and meeting the demands of a highly dynamic competitive landscape are very real. Many people who have until now been highly productive and positive are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and depleted. While this is a normal human response to such challenges, our Resilience and Wellbeing Coaching services offers leaders and their teams time and space to refocus and rebuild their confidence and capacity to move forward.
We have developed a range of services from an On-call Response for individuals to a comprehensive programme for developing a sustainable resilient culture across the organisation, as outlined below.
Time to Refuel
What do we mean by resilience?
“Resilience is our ability to adapt. It is our capacity for change.” At its heart, it is the capacity of a person or an organisation to maintain its core purpose and cohesion in the face of change. Yet, change is difficult because people resist the pain of change and the fear of the unknown. If leaders want to enable change, they need to create an environment where their people feel psychologically safe and able to flourish rather than fearful of their futures.
A recent study found that 82% of respondents believe that the need to show resilience is high in the workplace and yet, only 10% felt confident that this was manageable.
With recent insights from neuroscience and sports sciences, we have a greater understanding of what the barriers and enablers of resilience are and the practical tools and strategies that will strengthen our resilience. Investment in resilience is investment in our wellbeing because resilience acts as a buffer to the negative side of stress. When our resilience is high, we have more energy, more perspective, more capacity and a clearer focus.
Impact and benefits
Our programmes strengthen employees’ resilience and well-being, helping them develop self-management strategies so they can continue to perform and thrive in stressful and uncertain times. Our programmes help
- Reduce sickness and absenteeism
- Increase employee engagement and productivity
- Employees connect better with their purpose and work
- Minimise anxiety and isolation
- Plan more intentionally
- Handle conflict more constructively and less emotionally
- Employees feel more valued and confident
We set clear measures with our clients so that they can see the quality, effectiveness and impact of the programme. We gather feedback from coaching clients, both quantitative and qualitative capturing core themes which give our clients valuable development insights.
Our Experience
Throughout 2020 and 2021, Pure Potential has been part of the COVID-19 response team to the primary healthcare sector, where together with our partners we have been supporting more than 3,500 people. We were selected as part of the core coaching team delivering resilience and wellbeing coaching to NHS staff who were often experiencing high levels of stress, helping them develop their resilience and improve overall wellbeing.
This initiative was an integral part of the NHSE’s wider Health & Wellbeing programme that won three awards at the recent Personnel Today Awards 2020, including the Health and Wellbeing award and that programme was the Overall awards winner.

This was so useful. It enabled me to get my thoughts about how I am feeling into a logical order, with good advice about how to tackle larger projects. I’ve already made a start with this and feeling really positive.
