Executive Reset: Health & Performance

Prior to your stay we will ask you to complete a comprehensive health analysis which includes blood testing, your ability to cope with and respond to stress, as well as your mental and emotional fitness. You will also have a 2-hour session with Julie Stokes.

Blood test designed in partnership with Randox Health, the Goodwood Panel contains 31 markers linked to key health areas such as liver and kidney function, nutrition, metabolic status and inflammation.
First Beat™ connects the dots between your body's reactions and daily activities. It turns stress, recovery, sleep and exercise data into actionable insights, inspiring positive lifestyle changes.
RQi™ - The Resilience Quotient Inventory™ will provide you with feedback on your ability to cope, personally and professionally, during times of high pressure, rapid change and adversity.

Saboteur assessment - saboteurs are the negative voices in your head that can lead to stress, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, shame, guilt, frustration, and mind chatter. Based on groundbreaking work by Shirzad Chamine, this assessement will help you to understand what yours are in order to intercept them and thrive in all areas of your life.

TEIQue assessment - The Thomas Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire is based on K. V. Petrides' trait emotional intelligence theory, from 1998. It is one of the world's best-researched and most widely applied psychometric instruments. The theory views emotional intelligence as a group of emotional self-perceptions that are located at the lower levels of personality hierarchies.

Julie's early career started in a healthcare setting - she helped to establish one of the first hospital-based palliative care teams in the UK. As part of the Health Psychology department, she also worked with cardiologists, oncologists, neurologists and particularly gastroenterologists to help people manage debilitating gut symptoms from conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. The natural connection between mind, body and performance is therefore a key driver for Julie's work on the Executive Reset.

Julie's coaching is shaped by her deep understanding of how people and systems respond to change. This comes from over 30 years experience as a CEO, Non-Executive Director, and as Consultant level Clinical/ Health Psychologist.

Her clients appreciate her intuitive radar of working out what it means to be them, in their particular role, navigating increasingly complex systems successfully. This is matched by an ability to gently yet firmly hold up the mirror, helping her clients to see opportunities for greater business performance alongside personal happiness/wellbeing.

Julie also works with people who have found that their eating and/or alcohol consumption has changed significantly after a bereavement. Grief can lead to significant weight loss/increase and create an emotional connection for unresolved grief.
