A simple toolkit, ready to roll the same day you learn it.
Learn how thoughts form and why they repeat, and change the conversation in your head so you respond on purpose, not on autopilot.
Understand what's happening on the inside and learn quick self-checks and 60-second resets to stay calm, clear and in control at your desk, in a meeting or on the way home.
Gain clarity on what's really within your control, what you're trying to control and what it's time to let go of.
Create a deeper level of self-awareness to find the space to respond thoughtfully as the best version of you.
Explore a simple 60-second daily Gratitude practice that changes what your brain notices first, building positivity and the ability to see solutions rather than problems.
The pillars of RISE
RISE builds pressure capability: the ability to think clearly, respond well and perform at your best when it matters.
Resilience
Managing stress, navigating challenges, and bouncing back with clarity and strength.
Self Awareness
Noticing thought patterns, triggers, and habits and choosing how to respond, not just react.
Integrity
Taking ownership of how we think, feel, and act. Staying aligned with our values, even under pressure.
Energy
Understanding your nervous system and learning to reset your state in real time.
You don't need fixing.
You already have capability, experience and potential.
RISE gives you better tools to access them when pressure is on.

RISE doesn’t end when the workshop does.
We’ve all been to a course where the workbook goes home to die in a drawer.
RISE is different.
You get ongoing access to our monthly RISE Reconnect Calls, at no extra cost, keeping the tools alive through reflection, reset and accountability.
Because the goal isn’t to just have a great experience at RISE.
It’s to make the RISE toolkit part of how kiwis live and work.

People say...
"RISE is a practical programme that helps you better understand yourself, build positive habits, and develop tools you can use in everyday life. The opportunity to connect with others and learn from different perspectives made the experience even more valuable."

"RISE provides practical tools that help you better understand yourself and how you respond to challenges. I believe programmes like this are especially valuable for new leaders and managers, giving them skills that many people are never formally taught."
Sanjeev Nand

"If you are looking for an awesome course that helps with resetting and gaining perspective on the pressures of work, home… life, I totally recommend doing the RISE course. I am certainly coping better with my intense, high stress job since doing the course in September. I feel like I have my equilibrium back!"

Frequently Asked Questions
RISE is the missing middle between performance development and wellbeing support.
RISE recognises that when people know how to manage their minds effectively, they tend to feel better, work better, and relate better to others.
The programme is designed to support wellbeing while also improving performance, engagement, and workplace culture..
Yes - While the core RISE framework remains consistent, examples, discussions, activities, and delivery are tailored to suit your industry, team, and pressure points.

RISE has been designed to be flexible to the busy schedules of modern professionals. It can be delivered as:
- One full day

Absolutely. RISE is highly engaging and includes:
- Group discussion
- Reflection activities

RISE is the missing middle between leadership development and burn-out support.
We don't want to wait until people are burnt out to give them tools to cope. And we don't want to jump straight into leadership skills without first giving people the ability to manage themselves under pressure.
RISE equips people with the practical, science-backed tools to understand how they think, respond and perform, so they can manage pressure better and operate at their best.
Participants receive:
- A comprehensive workbook
- Practical tools and frameworks
- A library of printable tools to use again and again
- Reflection exercises
- Action plans for ongoing growth
- Access to the monthly RISE Reconnect call
Yes - The principles taught in RISE are particularly valuable for leaders wanting to improve self-awareness, communication, resilience, decision-making, and team culture.
Empowering a leadership team with these tools and frameworks will have a ripple impact on your wider team; ideally your leaders implement what they have learned with their teams.
Yes - Gratitude Habit runs the RISE programme regularly for anyone to access.
This could be for you or for one particular team member who you're looking to invest in their growth.
