Shape Your Life

Putting Life Into Your Work™

Insight
What is our value to your company?

SHAPE YOUR LIFE knows how to create positive and happy teams. We know that people experience success – high levels or performance and productivity – when they are effectively and positively challenged, inspired and motivated; when they are passionate about what they do; and, when they are healthy, happy and joyful.

SHAPE YOUR LIFE measures whether a company’s workforce is “healthy” by initially asking the following questions:

Are you happy?

Are you living the life you truly want to live?

If you’re not happy; not living the life you truly want to live; then, what changes do you need to make to become happy, healthy and productive – taking mental, emotional, physical and spiritual energies and aspirations into consideration?

COMPANIES BOLD ENOUGH TO ASK QUESTIONS are innovators with an intuitive understanding of what it takes to be successful in today’s business environment. Shape Your Life is a trend leader in an area positively supported by research findings – people are looking to ‘anchor’ or reconnect to their spiritual roots, taking what was secure from the past in preparation for the future. Where is your company positioned on this curve of innovation?

Opportunity
What are the problems we solve?

IT’S NOT A COMPLICATED EQUATION. When you have the grace, style and confidence to provide your workforce the freedom and tools to do what you’ve hired them to do, they will achieve beyond your expectations and beyond their own hopes and aspirations.

SHAPE YOUR LIFE is a principle-centered company recognized worldwide for its competencies and capabilities to Illuminate • Entertain • Inspire • Transform. Most notable are our methods for helping talented people within your workplace tap into those tools and strategies needed to sustain productive, healthy and happy work styles.

SHAPE YOUR LIFE understands the issues facing today’s companies – no matter their size. More importantly, we understand the needs and wants of your workforce. A 2002 study revealed that 78% of today’s workforce is comprised of dual-income families who agree that they don’t have enough time with their children or spouses – let alone time for themselves. It’s no wonder given the fact that the 40-hour workweek no longer exists. Today’s employers and workers contend with a myriad of issues including:

Rising health care costs

Increasing responsibilities and work hours

Mergers and downsizing

Outsourcing

Day care costs and more…

A CRITICAL FACTOR FACING COMPANIES TODAY is that America’s workforce doesn’t feel they have a choice to make change. SYL @ Work offers solutions by doing what we do best – providing your workforce with simple, practical and intuitive strategies for change, allowing your workforce to function at their best while riding today’s ever-increasing waves of change.

SHAPE YOUR LIFE knows that to experience success, today’s workforce must identify, understand and align with common values and beliefs which come alive only when people engage in tasks they are drawn to, passionate about, interested in, and find awe-inspiring. Ideally, personal values align with the company’s spoken and unspoken values when any member of the workforce – from executives to managers and staff – can articulate the company’s values and match them to their own.
SYL @ WORK knows the value of personal reflective time as an integral approach for people within the workforce to assess where they are physically, mentally and spiritually. Only when they are allowed this critical component can they then determine changes they need to make to stay motivated and positively challenged and awe-inspired to be the best they can be. SYL @ Work provides your team the opportunity and time to work with our experts, reflect and determine what changes are needed and desired, therefore allowing them time to slow down and think about what is happening in their lives. As a result, they become physically stronger, happier and ready to perform at higher, more productive levels.

Gold Standard
How do we measure success?

SHAPE YOUR LIFE sets the gold standard for providing a truly holistic and unique approach to putting life into the lives of each and every person within your workforce. Each program, service and product is designed to enhance performance, productivity, health and overall well being. We don’t pretend to know your business. We do, however, meticulously know and understand our own. There is no magic to what we do. It’s really quite simple. We recognize Corporate America’s need to provide its team with simple and intuitive ways to stay motivated, positively challenged and awe-inspired. As a result, they experience the joy that comes from being healthy, active and happy.

HUNDREDS OF STUDIES spanning decades of research on productivity and performance; fitness and exercise; diet and nutrition; medicine and mind body health provide overwhelming evidence and support for the whole being equal to the sum of its parts as in the holistic approach implemented by Shape Your Life. The essential elements that make up the whole of SYL @ WORK includes passion for work, health, emotional well being, fitness and movement, body image, diet and nutrition, sleep, mediation and all forms of relaxation, rejuvenation and rest, financial confidence, and more. Each has the power to impact all others to either significantly support or detrimentally undermine one’s performance, productivity, health, and well being in the overall success of the workplace. Attitude reflects the outcome.
SYL @ WORK stands firmly grounded on its credibility, research and the resource-driven capacities to help every member of the team from executives to managers and staff become efficiently fueled with high levels of passion • performance • productivity • overall health & well being. Our unique approach is best acknowledged by understanding some cornerstones of the process we incorporate into our programs:

Personalized Approach – Solutions to challenges are tailored to each person’s unique priorities, needs and circumstances.
“I want something tailored to my values and my lifestyle. I’ve come to recognize that if it isn’t likely to fit into my life, it won’t be sustainable.”

Insight into the Workplace – Insightful solutions are created uniquely for any level from created for every member of the team from executives to managers and staff. SYL @ Work understands what they want, what they need, and how to best go about helping them make “lasting” change.

Insight into Science – Science based solutions that work have been sourced from our experts and time tested in many and varied programs. We screen the landscape of “solutions” for what’s been proven scientifically and practically through real world actions and results.

A Truly Holistic Approach – multi-disciplinary experts utilize an integrative approach, therefore allowing systems solutions to become a reality rather than a possibility. Single-variable changes do not last; rather, they must be supported both holistically and systemically in order to be experienced realistically. A systems approach to the solution, where all the interrelated parts of life are brought together creates a context for integrated change.

Success Stories & Reality-Based Inspiration – Inspiring and motivating stories are identifying factors and confidence builders and are sourced from programs past and present.

High Entertainment & Sensory Appeal – Developed and tested in our programs create total engagement and mind-opening attention.
