Tough Times and Healthy Profits

STEWART HARRISON MA

As a former Royal Marines Commando, I am a firm believer that whatever you put into life, you get out of it. After serving on operations all over the world, I decided that it was time to focus on a new challenge… teaching others how they can maximize their potential.

I left the Royal Marines on the Friday and first thing Monday morning I was teaching my first class! Since then I have continued to develop professionally and physically. To date, I have trained thousands of individuals and teams. I am a qualified mountain leader, teacher and assessor for Drummond Education.

Alongside my ‘day job’, I am a keen fitness fanatic enjoying all elements of the great outdoors. Recently I completed my first Ironman distance triathlon and was ranked in the top 80. I have also competed in elite mountain marathons and various endurance races.

In 2010, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to pull all of my ‘life experience’ together and channel it into something that I am extremely passionate about; investigating how physical fitness can improve performance in all aspects of life. Exploring this subject lead me to achieve my MA in Professional Development. I am eager to share my knowledge and assist you in achieving your optimum performance.

During tough economic times, all businesses are investigating ways to save money and maximise efficiency without having a negative impact upon quality and productivity. How can these things be achieved whilst still maintaining an efficient, effective, dedicated and engaged workforce? Workplace fitness is the answer. As a trainer you can take the lead and engage businesses in your area in corporate health, a winner for your business and theirs.

You can use fitness to train a business to succeed through tough times and produce healthy profits……….

This is a brief insight into what you can achieve. All you need is good business presentation skills and a convincing argument.

As a trainer or GroupEx teacher you can work with corporate fitness for an SME (Small or Medium Enterprise) or a large corporate organisation as part of your business. You can develop a fitness programme that will enable an organisation to achieve a winning attitude and high performance through having a fitter workforce. This will increase their productivity, reduce staff absence and improve employee satisfaction to name a few proven benefits, and of course, this all leads to an increase in their ‘bottom line’ and ultimately yours. The case for fitness in a workforce is the same as elite athletes and high performing teams. It develops winning minds, and a philosophy of work hard, play hard.

There are many parallels between sporting achievement and success in business. The skills and qualities utilised by participants of exercise are also highly desirable attributes for successful individuals and teams in the workplace. Successful employees possess the ability to transfer these skills between the two domains, with individuals and organisations benefitting and reaping the rewards. For example, highly effective individuals in the workplace will posses the physical and psychological abilities to set goals, work towards specific targets, be competitive, focussed and deal with a variety of emotions. Through attaining a healthy body and lifestyle leading to an optimum state of mind, you can achieve optimum performance.

The answer might at first appear simple, but there is a great deal of depth and planning that goes into this winning formula. You can learn how to present your business case to an employer on how to ‘toughen up’ a workforce through fun, practical, relevant, calculated physical activity and provide a healthy work culture, helping them work towards a healthy profit.

Our one day training programme will also help you develop your corporate presentation skills and build a marketing portfolio that you can present to any organisation to win your case for exercise and gain investment in your business to run corporate fitness. Join me in exploring your potential using my winning formulae.
