Event Overview

Understanding how to get yourself and your team in a good place is essential for both personal and professional performance. Using The Chimp Model, Chimp Management simplifies the complexities of neuroscience to offer valuable insight into the functioning of the mind to improve psychological wellbeing and performance.

Improving psychological wellbeing for employees has been demonstrated to translate into reduced absenteeism, more effective collaboration, teamwork, leadership, improved productivity and overall output. There is a strong correlation between employee wellbeing and workplace performance, according to the University of Oxford.

Chimp Management teaches critical skills that help teams improve teamwork, collaboration, communication, leadership and employee wellbeing through a selection of workshops, keynote addresses and bespoke services. All are designed to improve the performance of your team and increase the probability of organisational success.

How It Works

The Chimp Model simplifies the complex neuroscience behind how the mind works, helping people understand why they think, feel and react the way they do. Through an engaging and practical workshop, participants gain greater insight into their own minds and learn techniques they can apply to everyday situations at work and beyond.

  • Understand what drives your reactions – explore how different parts of the mind influence thoughts, emotions, behaviours and decision-making.
  • Develop greater self-awareness – recognise your own patterns, emotional responses and triggers, and understand how these can affect the people around you.
  • Build practical mind-management skills – learn techniques to manage emotions, respond more constructively under pressure and approach challenges with greater confidence.
  • Apply the learning to real workplace situations – use the insights to strengthen resilience, communication, teamwork, leadership and performance.

The workshops provide teams with a practical framework for understanding themselves and one another, helping turn psychological insight into positive, sustainable changes in the workplace.

Tailored Programmes

Optimising the Performance of the Human Mind

Why do we sometimes get overwhelmed with emotions, thoughts and feelings, or do things we later regret? Are you managing yourself around people and situations in the way that you want to? A healthy lifestyle can optimise the body, but how do you optimise your mind?

This session uses neuroscience and The Chimp Model, Chimp Management’s powerful mind management model, to offer explanations for these questions and to help you develop personal insights and practical approaches to optimise the performance of your mind. Learn how the mind both helps and hinders personal and professional performance every day, and what you can do about it.

Workshop objectives:

  • Explore how the mind works through The Chimp Model
  • Gain insight into your own unique mind
  • Understand how to develop emotional skills
  • Apply emotional skills to manage your behaviours, thinking and emotions

Building Resilience - The Basis For Success

How important do you consider resilience for your happiness, success and quality of life? If you consider it important, or even essential, how do you develop and maintain resilience?

Building Resilience: The Basis for Success explores the neuroscience of where resilience comes from and how we can better develop and deploy resilience every day. This session explores how managing the mind and navigating life’s obstacles and opportunities is a skill that can be developed and improved.

Workshop objectives:

  • Appreciate the difference between robustness and resilience
  • Put in place the foundations of robustness
  • Develop skills for becoming and staying resilient

Embracing Change to Create Opportunity

Why do we so often find it difficult to deal with change? How can we learn to accept and even embrace change? What can we do to help ourselves and others look beyond the current situation and to other opportunities in life?

This session will use The Chimp Model to explore why we can find change challenging. You will explore the neuroscientific processes designed to protect you, but which so often cause stress, anxiety or resistance to change. Tools and techniques will be shared and explored to help you understand and utilise your mind optimally, all with a focus on how to overcome resistance and respond constructively to change.

Workshop objectives:

  • Understand why change is so challenging
  • Appreciate how to accept obligatory change
  • Be proactive in embracing change
  • Consider life beyond change
  • Consider different ways to assist others through obligatory change

Creating High Performance

Do you want to improve your consistency and delivery under pressure? Have you ever wondered what Olympic and World Champions do to perform at their peak psychologically?

When observing any performer delivering an optimal performance, it often appears effortless. Nevertheless, we all know that high performance does not occur by chance; it takes endless hours of dedicated training, commitment and refinement to deliver at your peak. By understanding the neuroscience of what happens in our minds during peak performance, we can learn how to better manage our thinking, emotions and behaviour for the very moments that count.

Workshop objectives:

  • Consider the basis for high performance in individuals and teams
  • Understand the neuroscience behind creating high performance
  • Develop ways of turning any team into a high performing team

Effective Mind Management - Insights for Leaders

Do you want to become a more effective, self-aware and resilient leader? Have you ever wondered why certain situations trigger strong reactions, or how understanding the way your mind works could help you lead others more successfully?

Effective leadership starts with understanding yourself. By exploring the neuroscience behind how the mind processes thoughts, emotions and behaviours, this workshop provides practical insights into why we react the way we do and how those reactions can influence the people around us. Participants will learn how to better manage their own mindset, recognise emotional responses and approach challenging situations with greater clarity and control. These insights can then be applied to communication, decision-making and team leadership, helping leaders create more positive, productive and high-performing working environments.

Workshop objectives:

  • Develop greater self-awareness and emotional control as a leader
  • Learn practical techniques for managing challenging situations and pressure
  • Improve communication and relationships within teams
  • Apply mind management principles to create more effective and resilient leadership

How To Turn Stress Into Action

Would you like to explore and improve the way you respond to stress?

Stress is a healthy reaction, designed to be uncomfortable. It is nature’s way of letting us know something is wrong. Unfortunately, according to MFHA England, a quarter of UK workers feel unable to cope with stress in the workplace.

One way to manage stress effectively is learning how to turn stress into action. Using The Chimp Model, we explore how to recognise, understand, and manage stress signals: turning them into an action plan before they become toxic.

Workshop objectives:

  • Understand the neuroscience of stress
  • Recognise and manage immediate stress
  • Recognise and manage long-standing stress
  • See how stress can be turned into action

Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Professor Peters developed the Chimp Model to help people better understand and manage their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. He has worked with more than 20 Olympic and national sporting teams, including British Cycling, Liverpool FC, England Rugby and England Football, as well as CEOs, senior executives and organisations. His bestselling book, The Chimp Paradox, has sold more than one million copies and brought his approach to mind management to audiences around the world.
