About Zen Ed
ZenEd offers RESILIENCE and Wellbeing programs at Early Learning centres, Schools and Corporates.
Our accredited, evidence-based and award winning programs aim to develop emotional intelligence, build personal resilience and maximise wellbeing and learning/performance. Helping children and adults realise their full potential and live a fulfilling life.
​
What is resilience?
When we talk about resilience, we mean a person’s ability to cope with the ups and downs of life. It also encompasses how a person deals with the challenges they might face throughout their childhood and adulthood.
​​
Why is resilience important?
Resilience is important mostly for our brain health. It is a life skill we take with us into adulthood. It is thought that the more resilient a person is, the better equipped to deal with life’s pressures and to overcome obstacles.
​
What are the main goals of the resilience programs?
​Our accredited programs use the R.A.I.N model, offering strategies to develop emotional intelligence, build personal resilience and maximise wellbeing and learning/performance.
​
Goal 1: Regulate - Increasing the ability to regulate our thoughts/emotions e.g. stress management.
Goal 2: Awareness - increasing the ability to recognise our thoughts/emotions and personal beliefs/values.
Goal 3: Inquiry - increasing the ability to use responsive behaviour (instead of reactive) to ucomfortable thoughts/emotions and strengthen positive mindsets e.g. growth mindset
Goal 4: Nurture connections – increasing the ability to recognise thoughts/emotions in others. Building strong connections with empathy and compassionate communication.
​

WORKPLACE
“John is a great facilitator and presenter, and he delivered the session at a relaxed pace. I felt comfortable to participate in the activities and engage in dialogue with my team members. I really enjoyed the workshop!”
“I thought the activities were a great way to demonstrate the concepts being discussed and keep engagement within a large group. The RAIN method brought it all together. It reinforced the importance of reflection and not fighting how you are feeling but seeking to understand. I have learned a lot from this workshop”
“I thought it was a very enlightening session. John Pink was brilliant! I got a lot out of his presentation and workshop.”
