These resources are here to help you boost your physical and mental wellbeing.
You can tell your colleagues about these resources and keep them boosted too!
Some of the videos below are usually only available through my paid-for online programmes, I've added some of those as a little extra treat, because we all need a little extra support sometimes. I hope you enjoy them and find them useful.
There are things that I talk about in conferences and workshops, and there are often parts that there isn't time for. So, have a look below for anything you might find useful or interesting. I've included the details of my favourite source books.
I may well have other strategies or resources for stress reduction, confidence building or wellbeing techniques that you would find useful, so let me know what challenges you'd like help with and I'll add a video or other resource on this page for you. If you'd like to drop me a line with questions or suggestions, please do! pam@pamburrows.com
If you haven't already, you can sign up for my Monday Motivator Message and get extra techniques for wellbeing and a reminder of how fabulous you are, every Monday! You can sign up at the bottom of this page.
You can access lots more of my relaxation and my confidence boosting videos and audios for free on YouTube, if you click subscribe on YouTube, you'll get to know when new videos and techniques get posted. Find more People Boosting videos on YouTube
Burnout Buster - The Slides
Here are some of the slides from my keynotes and workshops.
As they're mostly pictures they are shared here as memory joggers rather than notes pages.
The BOOKS I read! Want to know more about the science and psychology that I talk about? Here are the reference books behind my sessions...
(Click on book titles for more information)
The one that talks about trauma getting locked into the body, and how to release it (quite academic and dense but mind-blowingly fascinating!): The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van De Kolk
The one that describes how the body becomes ill when we don't acknowledge and deal with our emotions and reactions: When the body says no by Gabor Mate
The one that describes how a change of mindset can help us to avoid, heal from or lessen the impact of cancer:
The one that tells the story of a company that was brought back from the brink of extinction by beginning to show more care for their staff: Everybody Matters by Bob Chapman and Raj Sisodia
A link to an illustration that describes Kahler's five drivers, the crazy stuff that makes us try to hard 😉
Two books by the chap who researched into oxytocin (the kindness drug!):
This is the chap who first made gratitude a world-wide conversation. His research showed that writing down three good things about your day at bedtime had huge positive effects: Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman
The one about research into what makes people happy...what REALLY motivates people at work?
The one about how amazing introverts are, and how to understand how we can work differently, but positively:
The book by the clever person I studied neuroscience with on her 'Neuro-science Professional' Programme,
The ones I wrote! 😉

This module helps you understand the physical and mental symptoms and consequences of stress. And what to do about it.
"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 during difficult times. She also made my first experience with Zoom a pleasant one"
Mechanical Engineer, Sheffield University
“I thought that I get in touch to say what a great idea it is to have the Wellbeing webinars. Good to hear this sort of thing at any time but needed so much more with everything that is going on for us all right now. The first session today with Pam today was fantastic and I, for one, will be doing those exercises and using the things explained all the time”
Delegate CDK ltd
"Pam’s programme is helping us to manage a complex topic in a way that engages our employees. I would recommend Pam to any company looking to implement an effective wellbeing programme."
Andrew Jones, Corporate Director, Tetra Pak
"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!"
Wellbeing workshop delegate
"Pam, you truly are amazing. Everyone loved you and you definitely won the best presenter of the conference 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. Look forward to having you back when we do another staff event."
Head of HR
"I’ve heard further feedback from one of the participants who described Pam's wellbeing day as the best training she’s ever done, that’s a pretty good endorsement!"
Gary Wood, Professor, NMITE
