Flat out to Flourishing

Help your teams do their best work,
without burning out

Work has changed. The way we work needs to change too.
That doesn't mean getting less done:
it means getting more of the important things done, with less stress.

This 6-week course guides participants through a new way of working,
including tools and processes drawn from the latest research
in neuroscience, psychology, physiology and systems science.
‍

What we cover in the course

Week 1: the basics

  • Diagnostic: understand and prioritise team burnout risk factors
  • Knowledge work is physical work too: how stress affects your body, how recovery works, and performance physiology
  • Making sense of your system: burnout and performance are complex, but they're not as complicated as we make them

Week 2: new ways to think about stress

  • Good stress, bad stress: identifying sources, situations, patterns
  • Core skills for optimising stress: working with your nervous system instead of against it, including the neuroscience of productivity, cognitive and physiological tools for stress reduction

Week 3: the recovery mindset

  • Real recovery: identifying sources, situations, patterns
  • Core skills for recovering effectively: activating your parasympathetic nervous system; winning back your dopamine system; six kinds of recovery

Week 4: engaging your energy gauge

  • Tracking your stress / recovery balance: how well do you tune in?
  • Interoception: invaluable information we're taught to ignore
  • Core interoceptive skills for better performance and better health

Week 5: barriers and enablers

  • What helps, what doesn't: elements of the interior and exterior world that make change easier, or harder
  • Feedback loops: relying less on willpower and more on systems
  • Values alignment: the current that makes everything easier

Week 6: bringing it all together

  • Recap: review of the system, illustrated with real examples
  • Extended Q&A, experience sharing, trouble-shooting
  • Participants form theme-based pods to provide each other with support on common challenges (optional)

We're Helen and Navin

We founded TANK because it's the system we wish we'd had

We've been through burnout, and had to find our own systems to turn it around.

Helen's PhD in psychology didn't save her from burnout as a first-year management consultant. Navin burned so bright in grad school, he changed careers completely after he finished.

Since those early experiences, we've spent close to 20 years successfully doing high-intensity work. Helen stayed in consulting. Navin jumped from academia into cyber security, and then into start-ups. To be successful, and to help our teams be successful, we had to learn how to work differently, and how to take recovery seriously.

When we realised burnout statistics were headed in the wrong direction, we knew we needed to scale up what we've learned. That's why we created TANK: to combine the best available research in psychology, psychophysiology and neuroscience with our own observations of what actually works in the real world, in a set of tools that anyone can access.

We've made it our mission to solve the problem we wish we'd had help with years ago: how to fend off burnout while still hitting it out of the park.

Get Started

So many high achievers have extraordinary skills and experience to contribute, but they're out of steam and can't see a way forward

Often they feel like the only solution is to quit - the loud way, or the quiet one. That might help for a while, but one thing we know for sure about high achievers is that they're great at finding big challenges. So they find a new job that's just as much of a stretch as the old one... or end up bored and on the hunt again.

The answer is less likely to be a new job, and more likely to be a new way of working, alongside a stronger recovery mindset. And if anything, those are harder things to achieve. For a start, it's tough to find reliable, evidence-back information to work out exactly what to change. It's even harder to adapt that information so that it makes sense for you. Hardest of all is the actual change part.

But once that change is under way, it's hard to stop. Taking those first few steps is so much easier with the right skills, strategy and support.
