Menopause at Work
No matter what their job role or level of seniority, in order to achieve maximum potential during mid-life, women need to develop an ability to navigate major physiological and emotional transitions effectively. This requires a high level of self-awareness and sensitivity to the impact of hormonal changes on daily wellbeing. It is also about being able to respond confidently and professionally in a range of situations, including those that are difficult or stressful, all whilst managing symptoms with greater control and resilience.
Individuals wishing to manage peri-menopause or menopause symptoms are usually interested in finding ways to:
- Lower cortisol and regulate their internal thermostat during hormonal shifts.
- Dampen the "Fire Alarm" response of the brain to stay calm under pressure.
- Exert more personal control over hot flushes, anxiety, sleep disruptions, and brain fog whilst maintaining productivity.
Learning how to use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is not about "thinking happy thoughts," but more about developing a biological manual override that is practical, evidence-based, and respectful of your body’s changing needs. This will in turn help to promote health, clarity, and confidence that form the foundation of positive wellbeing and enhanced performance - no matter what stage a person is at within their menopause transition.
"Rather than focusing on the menopause transition as an issue to be fixed, we focus on the transformation as a powerful period of growth, self-awareness and endless possibilities." The Mind Over Menopause Team
How to spot the "Empowered Menopause" mindset
Is the person:
- Confident and self-assured, moving from feeling isolated to feeling validated and informed?
- Calm, relaxed and professional even when experiencing an internal heat wave or menopausal rage?
- Able to demonstrate empathy for themselves and others going through this normal biological transition?
- Respectful of their body's boundaries and protecting their long-term health?
- Able to express personal views, needs or wants clearly, enabling them to forge a strong partnership with managers, team members and healthcare providers?
- Able to stay focused on what's really important - hitting the "pause" button on racing thoughts to maintain a quiet mind?
Menopause Training from H2
Our menopause training is designed to empower our delegates to become the proactive managers of their own transition - and/or to support colleagues experiencing potentially disruptive symptoms of peri-menopause and beyond. We aim to strike a balance between presenting essential medical and psychological background information, and facilitating participative exercises and discussions that are both challenging and motivating, and that enable useful learning to take place that can be directly applied back in the workplace and at home.
We can deliver Menopause at Work training virtually, or at a venue of your choice, for individuals or corporate teams.
