MindShift for Business.

Supporting HR, Executive Leaders, and Boards in Their Duty of Care

Across Australia and New Zealand, organisations are facing a growing challenge: good people are struggling — often silently, and often for far longer than anyone realises.

Employees at every level are dealing with:

Stress and emotional overload
Fatigue and burnout
Anxiousness and overthinking
Low mood or withdrawal
Drinking or substance‑based coping
A general sense of “I’m not myself anymore”

These issues don’t just affect individuals — they affect teams, culture, performance, and ultimately the organisation’s ability to operate safely and sustainably.

A Leadership Responsibility — Not Just an HR Issue

Under modern workplace health and safety expectations, executive management and boards carry a clear responsibility:

To provide a psychologically safe workplace and to take all reasonably practicable steps to protect employee wellbeing.

This includes:

Identifying psychosocial risks
Supporting employees showing signs of stress or overwhelm
Reducing the drivers of burnout
Ensuring managers are not left carrying emotional load alone
Providing pathways for employees who are struggling but can’t articulate why

Ignoring these issues — or relying solely on surface‑level wellness initiatives — exposes organisations to:

Increased absenteeism
Presenteeism
Higher turnover
Reduced productivity
Cultural instability
Potential legal and reputational risk

Boards and executives are expected to demonstrate proactive, evidence‑informed action. MindShift helps them do exactly that.

The Reality HR and Leaders Are Facing

Workplace pressure is rising, and the data is clear:

1 in 5 workers report feeling stressed “always” or “often”
Stress‑related absence costs organisations millions of dollars every year
A significant percentage of employees still come to work unwell
64% of organisations report that stress levels are continuing to increase

This is not a performance problem. It’s an emotional pressure problem — and it affects every layer of the organisation.

Why Traditional Approaches Aren’t Enough

Most corporate wellbeing programs focus on symptoms:

Mindfulness
Resilience workshops
EAP referrals
Time‑management training
Wellness days

These can help, but they don’t address the deeper issue:

People are carrying emotional pressure from past experiences, ongoing stress, and internal expectations — and they don’t know how to release it.

When emotional pressure builds, it affects:

Decision‑making
Behaviour
Communication
Leadership presence
Team dynamics
Coping habits (including drinking)

This is why many employees — including high performers — feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to explain what’s wrong.

How MindShift Supports Organisations

MindShift for Business provides a private, structured, emotionally safe process that helps employees understand what’s happening beneath the surface — and release the emotional pressure driving their stress, anxiety, burnout, or coping behaviours.

It supports people who:

Feel overwhelmed but can’t pinpoint why
Are caught in repeating patterns
Use drinking or other habits to cope
Are emotionally exhausted
Are struggling but don’t fit neatly into “stress” or “mental health” categories
Want to change but don’t know where to start

MindShift helps employees understand the emotional attachments behind their patterns — and gives them a way to loosen and release that pressure.

When emotional pressure dissolves, everything changes:

Stress reduces
Clarity increases
Behaviour stabilises
Communication improves
Engagement rises
People feel more like themselves again

A Simple Insight That Explains a Lot

Most people have over 60,000 thoughts a day, and around 90% are repetitive.

When someone is under emotional pressure, those thoughts become loops — fuelling stress, anxiety, and reactive behaviour.

MindShift helps break these loops by addressing the emotional weight underneath them.

Why HR, Executives, and Boards Should Choose MindShift

It supports organisational health and safety obligations
It reduces psychosocial risk
It provides a confidential, non‑judgmental pathway for employees
It helps retain high‑value staff who are at risk of burnout
It strengthens culture, communication, and psychological safety
It reduces the emotional load on managers
It supports leaders who are struggling privately
It demonstrates proactive care and responsible governance

MindShift isn’t a wellness program. It’s a human clarity program — designed to help people understand themselves, release emotional pressure, and return to work with more stability, confidence, and ease.

MindShift for the Business overview.

In today's fast-changing environment, climate change, Covid-19 and other pandemics, racial and religious problems, economic insecurity and uncertainty, organisations struggle to adapt quickly and decisively.

Organisations are trying to adapt by endeavouring to reinvent themselves, being agile, restructuring, downsizing, repositioning, redeployment, to name a few.

Years in commerce have shown me that all these changes are suitable for an organisation and its people. Still, the only problem with this is that it is the same people ending up doing the same things that they used to do in the old organisation, just with a new tag.

I have seen organisations try to bring change to their organisations with bravado, major press releases on how they have reinvented themselves and how they will change the marketplace or government, how and why they will be different, what happens?

Six months later, they have different titles, divisions, and structures, creating the same outcomes as previously.

The question is, How can we make significant strategy changes throughout our organisations that creates a new paradigm that everyone can commit and buy in to.

How can successful change be achieved? By understanding that if we want to change our organisations quickly and achieve significant results, then this can only be achieved by the individuals in your organisation being willing to renew themselves and that includes you, your executives, managers, and all employees.

You may be asking. How can we achieve this quickly and economically over a short time? You may be saying this will take months, even years, to implement.

Please answer these questions to yourself.

How is your current strategy working, and is it honestly delivering the results you want and need?
How is it achieving the results you want, and if not, what can you do?
Are you happy?
Are your staff happy?
Are your clients happy with you?
How are you creating value for your clients and your organisation?
Are your stakeholders, shareholders happy with your performance and the performance of the organisation?

Please be honest with yourself when you answer these questions (there are many more questions to be answered). You know within yourself if you and your organisation are achieving the results you want or not.

If you and your organisation are achieving the results and you and your team are happy and firing on all cylinders, then that's awesome,

But, what if they are not satisfied and your staff are not happy and are fearful of the future, and what it holds for you all then we can help you.

How?

MindShift Deep Learning is a powerful and transformational strategic program that allows individuals and the organisation to review and clear all past blocks.

It allows people to create a new vision and goals for their future.

Here is where it gets interesting

According to Dr. Fred Luskin of Stanford University's research, a human being has approximately 60,000 thoughts per day—and 90% of these are repetitive.

So, if 90% of our thoughts are the same each day, then our past must become our future.

So, if our past creates our present, and we are using 90% of the same thoughts daily, then this must become our future, and this is why organisations do not change even after implementing new strategies.

How can MindShift Deep Learning create the change an organisation is trying to achieve?

Every individual in the world has positive events, and negative events occur in their life. Attached to these events are both positive and negative emotions. The positive emotions are great, and if we do not let the negative emotions control us, then we operate on a level basis going through life with small ups and downs.

Many of us have negative emotions that have been with us for many years, and many of us do not realise this. This is where MindShift Deep Learning allows each individual to understand their negative emotions, how they have been controlling and impacting them in their family life, business, social experiences.

MindShift Deep Learning then shows them how to be free from these negative emotions and then allows them to create their new future unimpeded by these negative emotions.

They then have a program to live by for the rest of their lives, and they now have the knowledge to pinpoint and address within themselves when they feel uncomfortable.

Imagine your people all understanding this and then when planning and implementing and working and supporting clients, they are clear, helpful understanding and have a full understanding of their role in the organisation. They stop blaming others, they stop making everyone else wrong, and because every person has completed MindShift, they are supportive and understanding of each other.

If you want to create a powerful and successful organisation, MindShift Deep learning will help you achieve this.

I look forward to hearing from you.
