Your Organisational Package
We can't reduce stress all on our own. Staff need techiques, but leaders and managers need to understand and apply some organisational strategies too. If it's all left to ability of staff to manage their own stress levels, without the infrastructure to support health, it's not going to work.
The CARE Model Wellbeing Programme can be delivered at three levels necessary for your wider team to build a full wellbeing culture:
1. Organisational strategy for stress management.
2. Leader and management skills in supporting staff via the strategy.
3. A toolkit of skills for stress reduction and wellbeing for each individual.
To really make an impact you can also choose to develop your own cohort of ‘Wellbeing Champions’ to support colleagues and ensure the CARE Model is embedded in the everyday work of the organisation - keep the good stuff going!
If you need a keynote speaker on burnout and wellbeing, a whole resilience programme, or a leadership development programme that puts wellbeing right at the centre, let's talk about creating the perfect bespoke experience that gives you the results while giving your people the support they need. And then watch the results: Better staff retention, commitment, productivity, cohesion and happiness!

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
Q: Does Pam present in person?
A: Oh yes indeedy, whilst I do the most interactive, exciting, fun and impactful sessions online, what I love most is working with the energy in the room. My training sessions make time fly and even my conference keynotes get people involved, energised and using techniques for boosting wellbeing right away.
Q: Who does Pam work with; will her messages apply to my industry?
A: Pam has worked across most industries and whilst a lot of her work has been in the public and charity sectors (healthcare, social care, housing and education) she has made a big impact in corporate teams too. She is a popular speaker at any time of day but is often asked to take that after lunch slot, you know that tricky time of day, to get the room buzzing again.
Q: Not everyone is keen to attend our team event, can Pam hold the room, even when some don't want to be there?
A: Pam often gets feedback directly from delegates to say things like this: "I really didn't want to come today but you won me over and I'm taking away some really useful tips - thank you!"
Q: Can Pam gain the trust of a leadership audience?
A: Pam has worked with groups at all levels and has the experience and ability to make sure her content is relevant, topical and engaging to whoever is in the room. Her understanding of the pressures faced by leaders ensures that her delivery hits the spot and the impact continues long after the event is over.
Q: Why should I choose Pam over other speakers?
A: In addition to over 30 years experience in learning and development, being an NLP Master Practitioner, her child development and social work background, her experience in global blue-chip corporate business behaviour training, years of personal learning in her subject and a European Health and Safety award for reducing stress in the workplace, she's a dream to work with. Pam is reliable, communicative and attentive, adapting to your audience, your outcomes, and unexpected changes on the day. At one conference for legal professionals, she delivered a powerful keynote, came off stage to hear that a workshop leader hadn't turned up and stepped straight in to host a workshop with no slides, no time to prepare, and got first class feedback for the quality of the session. Oh, and she's fun too.
Q: Is Pam's work evidence based?
A: Yes. She has lived experience of burnout which drove her to find the very best antidotes. She is always happy to share the scientific findings that support the messages she shares in conference keynotes and training sessions.
Q: What's with the chickens??
A: Since 2011 Pam has had a variety of pet hens, some of which have been rescued from factory farms in the most dire state. Once in better circumstances, their story is one of incredible recovery and a strong, heart-warming, memorable analogy she shares with audiences to great effect.
Results
Whilst delegates enjoy my energising sessions as a welcome change from work-related meetings, the techniques they learn and the benefits they feel afterwards will also impact positively on their focus, productivity, team communication and, of course, their physical and mental health. Whatever targets or KPIs you have, you’re more likely to achieve them with a team built on wellbeing.
The Fit
All sessions and programmes can be tailored to fit the priorities you see for your staff. My events are interactive and adapted to the needs of delegates on the day. For instance, if an unexpected issue arises, I dip into my wide ranging toolkit and bring additional content to support delegates in the moment.
What underpins Pam's work? The C.A.R.E. Wellbeing Model©
After 30+ years of working with human behaviour in the public and private sector and observing so many hardworking people, I noticed four key behaviours that lead to burnout. I developed the CARE Wellbeing Model based on the opposite of those risky behaviours. These four positive habits and behaviours can also build or break your workplace culture, delivering techniques people can use for their wellbeing both in work and outside of work. You'll also see how managers can use the model to develop a 'CARE' management style to support people and encourage progress.
The key outcomes of applying The CARE Model:
Build resilience
Maintain a positive mindset
Reduce stress and raise confidence
Empower and support yourself and colleagues
Develop managers who engage, motivate and inspire
Manage workload, pressure, priorities and digital overload
Design habit and behaviour norms to create a healthier workplace
Develop a culture of positive team communication and effective teamwork
Booster Keynote
This session delivers the science and psychology of stress and wellbeing along with practical and effective techniques that make a difference.
It’s interactive, with delegates becoming aware of their own stress ‘red flags’ and some fast-acting stress reduction and energiser techniques to deal with them. My keynote is tailored to your particular audience to ensure they're engaged, energised and get plenty of 'take-away' messages.
Includes: Follow up resources including video, audio and written materials to keep the good stuff going
Booster Sessions
Whole day, half day, or a full six month programme - time to boost team energy!
A booster session is a deep dive into my Booster Keynote content. With more time and more content, delegates can try out more techniques and have conversations to reduce stress and develop wellbeing habits. You decide how you want them to feel, I'll make it happen.
If you choose the full programme, we embed wellbeing and stress management strategies at an organisational level, train managers in stress support and all staff in their own wellbeing plan.
Includes: Follow up resources including video, audio and written materials to keep the good stuff going
Additional Support

But if your budget won't stretch, there are lots of useful and boosting resources on my website and YouTube channel. From motivational techniques to guided relaxations, there's plenty of wellbeing goodies to access. So fill your boots!
Testimonials
"It was a real joy to listen to the insightful pointers Pam Burrows had in identifying and dealing with "burnout triggers" that we may encounter in stressful situations - especially those that engineers would be likely to find in industry. She gave some fantastic tips on dealing with the stressful things that we may come across"
Mechanical Engineer, Sheffield University
“I thought that I get in touch to say what a great idea it is to have your Wellbeing sessions. Good to hear this sort of thing at any time but needed so much more with everything that is going on right now. The first session today with Pam today was fantastic and I, for one, will be doing those exercises and using the things she explained all the time”
Delegate CDK ltd
"Pam, you truly are amazing. Everyone loved you and you definitely won the best presenter of the day from our staff. Thank you so much for all the great tips and advice which I know staff will be taking up, particularly with us working from home hunched over our laptops and probably not looking after ourselves as much as we should."
Head of HR, Futures Group
"Thank you so much for the fantastic webinar on Monday evening. It was totally brilliant, and just exactly what I'd imagined as the face-to-face session but delivered online to students across at least four countries and three continents!"
