WORK INTELLIGENTLY · FOR ORGANIZATIONS

People are part of the system.

Pressure doesn’t stay neatly inside a job description. It shows up in conversations, decisions, relationships and the energy people bring to work. Leaders and teams need practical ways to respond.

Work Intelligently brings nervous system awareness into workplace culture through workshops, pilots and tailored programming. Education, conversation and group wellness sessions create room to understand what’s happening and practice a healthier way of working together.

People don’t leave life at the office.

Christina Michael

Culture is shaped by what happens between people: how we communicate, respond to pressure, make decisions and support one another through change. I create education and programming that help leaders and teams understand these dynamics and put that awareness into practice.

My background in entrepreneurship, business development, project leadership and human behaviour connects the realities of running a business with the realities of being human. We can build something useful for your people, from a single workshop to an ongoing program.

Built for context

A practical starting point.

We begin with the people you want to reach, what they need and what a useful outcome would look like. From there, we can discuss format, audience, scope and how to evaluate the work.

Areas of interest include leadership, workplace wellbeing, co-regulation, transitions and the human side of technological change.

Workplace programming is educational and does not replace clinical care or an employer’s safety obligations.

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON

A healthier culture is built every day.

CULTURE + CONNECTION

Co-regulation + co-dysregulation

Explore how our pace, tone, behaviour and relationships can help steady a group or amplify stress. Translate awareness into clearer communication, boundaries and leadership habits.

WOMEN’S HEALTH

Perimenopause + menopause at work

Build understanding, reduce stigma and discuss supportive workplace practices. Make room for privacy, different experiences and the needs of trans and nonbinary colleagues too.

CAPACITY + RECOVERY

Burnout, sick leave + returning

Consider workload, expectations, recovery and supportive communication around sick leave and return to work. Wellbeing programming belongs alongside practical changes to how work is organised.

CHANGE + TECHNOLOGY

The human side of AI

Make space for fear, uncertainty, job identity and changing expectations. Support thoughtful conversations, employee voice and learning as technology changes the workplace.

RESPECT + SAFETY

Bullying, fear + belonging

Recognise how intimidation, exclusion and disrespect affect people and culture. Discuss constructive responses and appropriate HR support, reporting and escalation pathways.

MENTAL HEALTH

Support without stigma

Education and conversation around stress, mental health, caregiving, grief, chronic illness and substance use concerns, with clear boundaries and pathways to qualified support.

MENOPAUSE + THE CANADIAN WORKFORCE

Experience worth keeping.

The Menopause Foundation of Canada’s 2023 report noted that women aged 40+ represented a quarter of Canada’s workforce, and estimated that unmanaged menopause symptoms account for 540,000 lost workdays annually. In its national survey, 32% of working women said symptoms negatively affected their work performance.

These are reasons to build understanding and practical support for experienced employees, rather than expect people to struggle in silence. Perimenopause and menopause belong in the workplace wellbeing conversation.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few good questions.

What can I book for my organization?

We can discuss workshops, speaking, educational programming, pilots, partnerships and advisory work. The scope begins with your audience, goals and what would be useful for your people.

Is the programming tailored to our team?

Yes. We discuss your context, audience, format and intended outcomes before proposing a scope. Topics can include stress, nervous system awareness, co-regulation, leadership and human behaviour.

What should I include in an inquiry?

Share your organization, audience, approximate group size, preferred dates and what you hope to explore. Include your location and preferred format so we can discuss a suitable approach.

Where can I find corporate pricing?

Workplace projects are quoted according to scope, format and audience. We confirm the proposal and fee before you commit.

Can you create a program for our workplace?

Yes. We can design a single workshop, a learning series, a pilot or ongoing programming. Sound, yoga and meditation can also be offered as group experiences. We agree on the audience, goals, format, accessibility, scope and fees before proceeding.

Will this reduce burnout or sick leave?

The aim is useful education, healthier communication and practical support. Reduced burnout or absence cannot be guaranteed. We can agree on appropriate ways to review the work, while recognising that staffing, workload, policies and access to care also matter.

Can staff use a Wellness Spending Account?

Some employer Wellness Spending Accounts (WSAs) or lifestyle accounts may reimburse eligible wellness services, depending on the plan. Ask your plan administrator about the specific service, provider requirements and receipt details before booking. A WSA is different from a Health Care Spending Account or standard extended-health insurance; reimbursement is not guaranteed. Non-RMT body care is not billed as registered massage therapy.
