Mental Fitness Leadership Course

Practical Skills. Proven Methods. Lasting Impact.

In high-pressure environments like healthcare, education, and corporate leadership, managers and directors face significantly higher stress and burnout levels than their teams. Dr. Miki’s six-week Mental Fitness Full Program equips leaders with the science-backed skills needed to bounce back from adversity and foster a healthier workplace culture.

Grounded in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and positive psychology, this comprehensive course helps participants understand and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and communicate assertively with their teams.

What to Expect

Each session is highly interactive, with reflection exercises, take-home tools, and group discussion. Leaders leave not only with greater self-awareness but also with practical, repeatable strategies they can apply immediately.

The sessions are typically delivered weekly or bi-weekly, in virtual or in-person formats, depending on your team’s needs. Programs can be offered to intact leadership teams, cross-functional cohorts, or training groups organized by professional associations.

Delivery Format

  • Live virtual or in-person sessions (facilitated by Dr. Andrew Miki or a certified trainer)

  • Sessions can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or tailored to your calendar

  • Participant workbooks, takeaway tools, and optional reflection assignments

  • Options for follow-up booster sessions or team integration planning

Key Takeaways and Outcomes

Participants emerge with concrete skills and self-awareness. In one recent cohort, 86% of leaders reported being more self-aware, 64% improved their emotional regulation skills, and 92% felt better prepared for difficult conversations.

Crucially, every participant in that program reported overall gains in mental fitness and emotional intelligence. Leaders also report sustained impact: follow-up interviews showed 100% of participants continued to use the mental fitness strategies in their roles months after the course.

Greater leadership confidence and clarity

Leaders become more self-aware and grounded in their decision-making, allowing them to lead calmly under pressure and respond instead of react.
They also gain tools to navigate uncertainty with resilience — setting the tone for their teams during times of change.

Stronger communication and fewer internal conflicts

With increased emotional intelligence and assertive communication strategies, leaders handle difficult conversations with more confidence and care.
This leads to improved team dynamics, faster conflict resolution, and a healthier working environment overall.

Lower stress and burnout levels

Participants learn how to regulate their stress in real time and prevent burnout through proactive strategies rooted in CBT.
This not only improves individual well-being but reduces absenteeism, presenteeism, and emotional fatigue at the team level.

More engaged, resilient, and aligned teams

When leaders apply what they’ve learned, their teams feel more supported, understood, and psychologically safe.
The result is stronger engagement, improved retention, and a workplace culture built on trust and accountability.
