From Chaos to Clarity: The Asian Art of Self Mastery.

This program utilizes the wisdom of the East to teach your work force to: harness time despite interruptions; become more conscious of "energy leaks;" establish mental strategies that motivate instead of relying on the common adrenalin producer of "waiting until the last minute;" and adapt time-tested methods taught in the Martial Arts and Meditation to clarify priorities, feel more centered, and reverse symptoms of burnout, including anxiety, apathy, depression, hyperactivity, adrenal exhaustion and insomnia.

Inspiring Yourself and Others: An East-West Approach to Leadership.

Asian cultures believe that leaders must cultivate a sense of inspiration from within before they can be inspirational to others. In this program managers will discover how they teach others to behave toward them, they will identify their own strengths and weaknesses, reframe their perceived weaknesses into assets, harness their energy so that their very presence commands respect, and they will learn how to walk their talk so that what they say resonates as wisdom rather than knowledge.

Wellness Retreat Days

Company Wellness Retreat
With advances in technology, attempts to enjoy life while hustling to earn a living often result in a daunting sense of overwhelm, inadequacy, and exhaustion. Part of the reason for this is that we have been moving much too fast for far too long. At the root of the matter is the fact that modern innovations designed to bring efficiency to routine work habits have been instrumental in changing our perception about how much we can get done in what amount of time. We are experiencing a sense of time distortion and our body/mind systems have not yet developed the necessary temperaments to cope. This half-day retreat is an experiential, fun program that will give your team new skills to "get out of their heads" and back into life. Curriculum includes: visualization for goal setting; meditation for relaxation; nutritional support for optimal energy; partner yoga for communication skills; and team-building for a harmonious workplace.
Half-Day Retreats: $2,000 for 20 people, $50 per additional person

Employee Enhancement Opportunities:

Keynotes, Workshops, Retreats,Certification Trainings

Health and family problems, psychological and workplace conflict and other stressors can become Personnel Department problems when they interfere with attendance, concentration, the quality of the work product, and group morale. The Hawaii Wellness Institute is pleased to announce the next phase of our community service outreach. We are now providing workplace wellness programs statewide.

Workplace Wellness Programs
Busy and productive people report having less time available to pursue professional development, let alone to take care of personally rejuvenating themselves. But when quality time is sacrificed in one's personal life, challenges inevitably arise in one's professional performance, communication breaks down, motivation weakens, decision-making becomes difficult, and negative attitudes begin to sneak into an otherwise responsible work force. Reversing the symptoms of burnout before the domino effect begins requires immediate and specific remedies.

There is great risk that a company will lose employees if they do not provide training for them. Our primary trainer, Sunny Massad, President and Founder of the Hawaii Wellness Institute and originator of UnTherapy®, has a Ph.D. in psychology and specializes in reducing stress-related conflict. Dr. Massad teaches, "Stress and conflict are first felt as a sense of pressure inside. If left unchecked, it turns to anxiety. At that point, managers and co-workers perceive the person as being negative, uncaring, or disrespectful."

Your Most Valuable Commodity: Your Work Force
The Hawaii Wellness Institute, a nonprofit training organization, specializes in the advancement of human potential by addressing the core issues behind stress, negative attitudes and sloppy work habits. The Hawaii Wellness Institute provides programs that help workers to manage their attitudes, increase their motivation, and instill routines of discipline to insure more proficient performance. The end result of increasing worker fulfillment is better health, which results in increased productivity, lower absenteeism, loyalty, and a renewed willingness to immerse oneself in company culture.

Celebrating Cultural Diversity
As a tribute to Hawaii's unique locale, positioned strategically between the East and the West, and its fusion of a diversity of cultures, Sunny Massad provides an East-West approach to professional development. Hawaii Wellness specializes in programs that unify and motivate culturally diverse employees. These programs integrate traditional Eastern values like calm, order, peace of mind, and selfless service with Western standards of efficiency, productivity, and success. They are fast paced, fun, experiential, and are easily adapted to daily routine.
