Wake-Up, Shake-Up, Thrive!® Coach Training (6 NBHWC CE)
Wake-Up, Shake-Up, Thrive!
A unique wake-up call designed to inspire the 50+ generation to grasp the modern ageing paradigm before it’s too late, to shake-up mindsets to embrace the years ahead, and to offer vision, tools, tips and guidelines to thrive NOW.
Nearly one in three people in the world is over 50, including nearly 20% of the workforce in the EU. While this equates to ample experience, it can also mean challenges at both the individual and the organizational levels.

Here’s the Secret
Ageing is inevitable, yet we each determine how we age.
Wake Up, Shake Up, Thrive!® Workshops & Coaching propose a unique wake-up call to the 50+ generation focused on five Dimensions of Well-Being: Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Intellectual & Financial to turn disruptive demographics into productive possibilities! Elevating this transition requires an approach that incorporates all the Dimensions. Like the Gears of a Swiss watch, when one turns, the others move, too. Harmoniously.
5 Dimensions of Well Being
Physical
Why Nutrition, Movement, Sleep and Mindfulness are the most impactful areas on longevity.
The Physical Dimension is the foundation for cool ageing at its best. Healthy ageing can be accessed through simple habits around nutrition, physical activity and sleep. For an aging workforce, programs & coaching in these areas have proven to be very effective in supporting physical well-being, especially in the 50+ demographic.
Emotional
90% of our decisions are based on our emotions, which means that a healthy mindset is critical in making decisions.
Emotional well-being is a combination of our thoughts and feelings, the relationship we have with our inner selves and how we relate to the world. Employers play key roles in supporting emotional balance among employees. Mentoring & coaching, as well as promoting and cultivating the other four dimensions of Well-Being, can all support the unique emotional needs of our ageing population.
Spiritual
Exploring the bond between who we are, what we’re made of and who we will become.
Improved self-esteem, strengthened relationships, increased compassion and a positive outlook on life have all been shown as specific benefits of spirituality. Aligning with self, with others and with a greater power can nurture and improve the relationships at the heart of a thriving existence. Raising awareness about gratitude, mindfulness, sharing & individuality can all contribute to improved work efficiency and satisfaction.
Intellectual
The importance of regularly stimulating our brains.
Connecting and interacting with others, accepting diversity, being inclusive, knowing how to support and collaborate with others, being able to successfully resolve conflicts and adapting to change all comprise intellectual Well-Being. Solid recruitment and retention practices can support both the employee experience and the employer’s competitiveness.
Financial
Uncovering our material needs and wants, as well as why now is the perfect time to realign.
Financial wellness is not about how much money you have, but about how you choose to manage it. Financial security includes the ability to manage financial commitments, meet financial goals, protect against risks and prepare for future needs. Professional and comprehensive financial planning must be proactive and strategic for optimum wellness, rather than reactive in the face of uncertainties.
