What others have to say
What others have to say
I recently attended a webinar hosted by Ellice and I loved it, Ellice was so relatable in her delivery and content. The webinar gave me so many tips and tricks to manage stressful and anxious situations, the tips and tricks were small, manageable and more importantly I actually understood them. I can’t emphasise enough how good Ellice’s delivery was, I’ve been to a lot of wellbeing webinars in the last few years, and this was easily the best one!!!
As part of our new wellbeing initiative, we approached Ellice at Mindset to see how she could help us. Ellice presented two workshops at our offices where employees learnt more about what mental health is and tools to look after our wellbeing. I have been approached by a number of our employees who found the workshops transformative and positively changed their outlook. Ellice presents with confidence, is knowledgeable and empathetic and created a safe and inclusive space for everyone involved. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ellice and Mindset to all businesses who value their employees’ emotional wellbeing.
