The Shapes Toolkit Course was a superb addition to our GP Fellowship CPD Resilience Programme.

I joined because I was approaching burnout. I've always wanted to do something that helps our whole team rather than just me. So I asked work to fund a place for me on the Shapes Academy.
It rescued me last year, I have to say. What worked best for me was having a little bit every month, that regular drip feed. Now, I'm better at managing my time. I'm better at saying no. And I'm much better at scheduling time to do non-work things, and I don't feel so guilty about doing it. think it's something that should be part of our mandatory training."
Jayne - Consultant Physician
The Shapes Toolkit was created by Dr Rachel Morris, a former GP. After experiencing burnout, she became passionate about finding better ways of working that go beyond generic advice and really apply to people working in high-pressure roles.
She developed the Shapes Toolkit alongside medical staff working under immense pressure - in high-stress, high-stress contexts, with limited resources and overwhelmed teams. So it’s no surprise that we soon discovered their effectiveness in other organisations too.
If your people work in high-pressure roles, don’t have time to waste on training that’s forgotten as soon as they leave the training session, and are keen to discover new ways of working, The Shapes Toolkit is for you.
Rachel also hosts the Apple Top 100 Business podcast You Are Not a Frog, where she talks to experts on resilience, wellbeing, productivity and crafting a career you love.

INVALUABLE IN HELPING TO MANAGE TIME AND WORKLOAD
The Wellbeing Teaching Day we organised was engaging and interactive from start to finish, and feedback was unanimously positive. There were so many practical tips and exercises for people to take away and start using immediately. Participants commented that the tools they were taught were invaluable in helping to manage time and workload, and re-frame the way they thought about work and the challenges they were facing. I would highly recommend this workshop to any group of professionals, particularly those under significant stress such as doctors. Participants left feeling positive and empowered, and asking how soon we could do the next Shapes Toolkit session!

CHALLENGED US TO THINK DIFFERENTLY
It was great having Rachel speak at our NHS leadership event today. Her presentation was excellent! She really engaged the audience, and left us all feeling inspired. She shared some really useful and practical tips, which we can apply to our management roles, but also challenged us to think differently. The feedback from the delegates was overwhelmingly positive.
Ben Falk, Talking Health Leadership
We choose to work in healthcare because we want to make a difference in people’s lives.
The trouble is, clinical and even leadership training rarely teach us how to:
- Handle the ongoing high-stress situations of working in a stretched system
- Manage overwhelmed teams trying to adapt to the realities of our current workplace
- Set boundaries around an unmanageable workload, when no one else will pick up the work.
Often, the tools we do learn simply don't apply in our high-stakes contexts or crises.
And the tendency among professionals with high standards, who feel our work is part of who we are, is to blame ourselves when it goes wrong.
We believe the system needs to change - and that change starts with individuals, colleagues and teams supporting each other to work differently.
That’s why we’ll first help you and your team create the time and headspace to think.
Next, you’ll discover a different mindset, and change the way you work for good.
Finally, we’ll teach you to change how you relate to the people around you. You'll learn ways to share this methodology with them and create a new culture of support, empowerment and responsibility.
