THE THRIVING GIVER

Cultivating resilience and preventing burnout in healthcare and the non-profit sector.

Thriving teams perform at their optimum and their giving is sustainable.

Are your teams struggling with anxiety or exhaustion?

If so, it’s not surprising, as demand for your services may have increased exponentially, while budget cuts, staff shortages or lack of resources have amplified the challenges.

Recent research highlights:

Staff burnout is a concern for 82% of voluntary and community sector project leaders.
Emotional exhaustion experienced by 91% of social workers.
Mental health is a concern for 52% of nurses.
Burnout prevalent in 77% of UK carers.
More support with mental health requested by 92% of voluntary and community sector workers.

The benefits of cultivating resilient teams.

When staff are supported in developing effective coping strategies, they feel more valued, while also:

Increasing motivation and job satisfaction
Improving performance
Reducing absenteeism and boosting staff retention
Creating happier and more engaged teams
Reducing costs

Meet Sarah Kuipers, MSc

Welcome! I am Sarah Kuipers, #1 best-selling author of The Thriving Giver, trainer, and lecturer.

Having run a successful practice for nearly 20 years, I finally burnt out. That prompted me to complete a Masters researching stress and burnout.

With over a decade of experience training nursing and medical students, doctors and other health and care professionals to cultivate resilience, I welcome the opportunity to help your teams navigate pressure with more ease and reignite their motivation for work and life.

What is a Thriving Giver?

Firstly, a Giver is someone whose very nature is to give or care for others, and it’s wonderful that there are so many Givers in the world. It’s a fantastic trait to have, but many struggle with the Over-Giver Syndrome and ignore their own needs.

A Thriving Giver balances their own care with the care of others. They also have a comprehensive range of tools to master stress so they can continue giving their best to the world each day.

Ensure your teams cultivate resilience so they perform at their optimum
