Work | Well

Work | Well is designed for organisations that want to support staff wellbeing while maintaining healthy, realistic productivity. This highly engaging workshop helps teams understand their own patterns of strain, offering a practical, evidence-informed approach to preventing burnout and strengthening everyday work habits.

BOOK YOUR PLACE

  • Teams arrive at Work | Well from very different starting points.

    Some people may be feeling stretched, overloaded, or close to burnout.

    Others may enjoy their work but want healthier ways to manage pressure and focus.

    Some may be early in their careers and still forming sustainable habits.
    Others may be experienced professionals carrying long-term responsibility.

    Whatever the starting point, the course is designed to meet people where they are and offer practical tools they can apply immediately.

    The course is delivered online in a highly engaging, workshop-style format.

    It combines practical exercises, reflection, and shared discussion in a supportive, psychologically safe environment.

    The course is led by Benjamin Western, who brings over two decades of experience across the humanitarian, public, and corporate sectors as a learning designer and facilitator.

  • Work | Well is a 2.5-hour facilitated session, designed to fit neatly into a morning or afternoon slot. The structure balances pace and depth, giving participants time to reflect, practice, and leave with a practical toolkit they can use immediately.

    The course is built around a simple two-part framework: WELL and WORK.

    WELL focuses on protecting energy and personal stability. Participants explore early warning signs of strain, understand what drains and restores their energy, and identify small, realistic habits around lifestyle and boundaries that help prevent burnout.

    WORK focuses on clarity and sustainable productivity. Participants learn simple ways to prioritise what matters most, organise work without adding complexity, reset focus under pressure, and let go of unnecessary perfectionism.

    Together, WELL and WORK form two sides of the same coin: helping people stay well while doing good work.

  • “I came into the course feeling quite lost. I’m leaving with a completely different outlook on life. I have a real sense of purpose again, and a community around me that I know I can turn to. It’s genuinely changed my life, and I'm so grateful! It was also just super fun and I loved the people I met on the course - many who have become dear friends”

  • “I’d always wanted to volunteer, but I never knew where to start, or whether I’d actually be of any use. This course changed that completely. I now volunteer with two charities that genuinely value what I bring. But honestly, I feel like the lucky one. I’ve made a whole new set of friends, and I wake up with a spring in my step knowing I get to make a difference each day, even if it’s in small ways. Thank you to everyone at The Shining Light Project. You’ve created something really special.”

  • “I usually hate ‘courses’. But my friend Becky recommended this after the Shining Light team ran a workshop at her school, so I gave it a go. And I’m so glad I did. This is nothing like any course I’ve done before. I learned so much about myself, discovered things I’d never thought about, and had so much fun. I’ve also made friends I know I’ll have for life. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.”
