Workshop Catalog for Whittington Well-Being
Presentations & Workshops
Whittington Well-Being offers workshops and presentations to meet the needs of organizations with a neurodivergent and disabled workforce from the mail room to the board room.
This isn't just another workshop; it's an experiential playground where participants explore four distinct energy styles crucial for mastering their energy and conquering burnout. Based on insights from the Whittington Burnout Inventory Research Study, we delve into calming anxious energy, quieting a busy mind, enhancing focus, and boosting energy while infusing joy, all in a carefully sequenced order to prevent overwhelm.
Through a variety of trauma-informed breathing techniques, creative art drawing, kinetic movement, and sensory-friendly, rhythmic music, attendees will explore their unique energy in a safe and supportive environment. By pairing these exercises with a measurement framework, attendees will develop a clear energy map, enabling them to understand and navigate their energy levels with ease in the moment.
The Micro Recharge Lab contains over 30 different energy exercises, carefully curated to cater to diverse needs. In this Introductory Event, participants will focus on learning the four most popular and requested energy exercises.
Key Highlights:
- Tailored Approach: Addressing burnout and energy mastery paired with the unique layer of a neuro inclusive and disabled approach through a trauma-informed lens.
- Transformative Experience: Guiding participants through four essential energy style experiences, meticulously sequenced and optimized for speed and results. The comparison and contrast is the key to self awareness and energy mastery to move out of burnout.
- Tangible Results: Participants track their energy levels and experience a strategic shift from what they are feeling to where they would like to feel, gaining insights into their energy dynamics far beyond the usual self care.
- Safe and Supportive Environment: Creating a gentle and understanding atmosphere where attendees feel excited to explore their energy.
- Rapid Learning: Contrastive energy exercises provide quick understanding and lay the groundwork for energy mastery, mitigating burnout.
These fast and simple energy exercises are easily repeatable and can be incorporated into daily life with ease. They typically take 2-3 minutes to complete and have long-term benefits, as reported by participants the effects of the exercises are even felt weeks later after the event. These exercises require no special equipment and can be done anywhere, making them accessible to all.
Host a Micro Recharge Lab and embark on a playful yet profound journey towards energy mastery and well-being. Together, let's transform how you experience and navigate the world of energy to get out of burnout and stay out.

Building a Thriving Workplace for Neurodiversity-Foundations to Success
“Communication breakdowns eat strategy for breakfast, lunch AND dinner.” -Carole Jean Whittington, Wellness Visionary
You may have frameworks, strategies and well planned KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) but if the teams and people these strategies and plans rely on aren’t effectively communicating, feel psychologically safe in their work environment, are acknowledged for who they are and what they do, and given the supports needed to succeed, those “best laid plans” get eaten for breakfast, lunch AND dinner.
