Detailed session description

In her inspiring session, learning strategist Lillian Daniels reveals how journaling is a game-changer for professional focus and personal well-being. Far from being a time-consuming chore, Lillian demonstrates that just five minutes of intentional writing can clear mental clutter and drastically reduce workplace stress.

She teaches participants how to 'clean the slate' each morning, ensuring they show up with transformed energy and a sharp mind.

The session is packed with unique, actionable techniques that go beyond basic diary entries. Lillian introduces the 'brain dump' to stop morning anxiety, the 'I wish' exercise to conquer daunting new challenges, and a clever 'voice-recording hack' that makes positive habits stick even on the busiest days.

Attendees will also learn to build a customized 'joy list': a personal toolkit of proven mood-boosters that are far more effective than generic advice found online.

Her approach is specifically designed for those who seek to achieve more with greater ease. Rather than adding another task to an overfilled to do list, she offers a way to simplify one’s internal dialogue.

This session provides the tools to turn a cluttered mind into a focused one, allowing individuals to show up more effectively in every interaction. It is an invitation to master the art of intentional reflection for a more balanced and productive professional life.

Before you book

Questions about Journaling for Stress Reduction

Is this session interactive, or do people just watch?

It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.

Is this for beginners or for people who already know the subject?

In this reflective and practical session, Lilian Daniels introduces journaling as a powerful tool for managing stress, setting daily intentions, and cultivating gratitude. Participants will explore simple journaling techniques that can be easily integrated into their routine to promote mental clarity and emotional... It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.

Is this a workshop or a talk?

A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.

How long does it take, and what do we have to prepare?

It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Lillian, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.

Who can join, and where does it run?

A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.

Can our global colleagues follow it?

The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.

Will our IT department have a problem with this?

No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.

How does this work under GDPR?

We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.

What do we get afterwards?

You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
