Make Work Work For You 1-Day Workshop (Johannesburg)

Saturday 25 January or Friday 28 March 2025

In an ideal world, we would all be doing work we love, with people we get along with and in places that spark only joy.

However, we are very far away from that ideal and not likely to reach it any time soon.

Many people do not have the luxury of working in jobs that make them jump with jubilation.

Many of my clients know that they are unhappy at work, but they aren’t entirely sure why.

This makes them feel that all of work is the problem, rather than seeing that it is, in all likelihood, only some aspects of work that are creating the unhappiness.

And it's only once we know what isn’t working, it is much easier to come up with a solution.

But, often, the hardest part is identifying the problem.

By breaking the whole of work down into some of its smaller parts, it is relatively easy to see where the problems and discomforts are, and to decide how to address them.

The Make Work Work For You Workshop in Johannesburg takes participants on a journey of discovery and understanding; of themselves, their team and the environment they work in.

If you feel your work isn’t working for you as an individual, or if you manage a team that isn’t working optimally – this 1-day workshop will give you the knowledge and skills to make it better – for you and for your team.

How will this workshop help you?

After the workshop, you will feel empowered to:

  • Apply the Wheel of Work tool to make your work journey smoother,
  • Address the physical environment of work to enhance efficiency and effectiveness,
  • Heighten your awareness of your own role in and impact on your experience of work,
  • Strengthen work relationships,
  • Communicate and manage conflict more effectively,
  • Take charge of your health and self-care to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue and mitigate other health-related challenges (including Menopause),
  • Acknowledge and manage career-limiting challenges including procrastination, boredom and stress and overwhelm,
  • Understand and recognise the different forms of reward and recognition,
  • Contribute to the creation of a psychologically safe environment for all at work,
  • Find meaning and value in the work that you do,
  • Apply a range of ideas and practical tools to make work work better,
  • Ensure the sustainability of your career and your organisation.

  • "Thank you to Judy for giving her valuable time to run her workshops at our NGO in Soweto. Burnout often affects people who have constant exposure to societal issues. Judy is an inspiration, and has the ability to sensitively connect with people on any level." Ingrid
  • “The training was AMAZING. The staff loved it and took away so much.” Donna Govender, Jordan HR
  • “Judy is a very skilled life coach and trainer. She was able to put together an excellent programme to motivate and re-inspire our company’s sales team.” Kenneth Creamer, CEO, Creamer Media
  • “Judy's Make Work Work For You workshop was the best gift I could give myself - a focused few hours with no outside distractions to engage with some issues which had been bothering me but which I always felt I didn't have enough time to really think about. I left the workshop with a range of new ideas, and practical actionable items ranging from something I could do the very next day to steps I wanted to take over the coming weeks and months.” Mieke
  • “I thoroughly enjoyed Making Work Work for me. Since the workshop I have enjoyed lunch time breaks away from my laptop. The Wheel of Work exercise was such an eye opener for me. I am more mindful that I need to nuture myself outside of work too. How to restore and energise myself so I don't burn out is so important. I am more than just my work self. I highly recommend working with Judy, she is encouraging and you deserve to do this course for yourself.” Gwynnevere Salgado
  • “I loved the course – you gave us all the wonderful gift of your experience and expertise. I loved the way you held the space for us. I found the experience insightful and uplifting. And what a lovely group of people we were.” Workshop Participant
  • “This has been a life changing programme for me. I kept feeling that it was custom designed specifically for me: from the title which grabbed my attention immediately, to the course outline which spoke to my heart and soul, and then to the session content and application which has tested my being from the roots to the tips of my branches. I realise now that there are many souls who have been lost and searching just like me. After six weeks I feel alive, vibrant, hopeful and at ease for the first time that I can remember.” Brenda Scott
