Crisis-Proof Your Communications: Mastering Email, Messaging & Scheduling

Date: Wednesday, 10th June 2026
Time: 10am to 1pm
Price: £65 +VAT members / £85 +VAT non members
Venue: Online

When pressure is high, the first thing that often spirals is communication. Inboxes fill up, messages pile on, and calendars become a constant source of stress. This session is about creating calm, even when things feel chaotic.

Inspired by the Zenforinbox approach, this focused workshop shows you how to streamline your inbox, manage messages with clarity, and take back control of your calendar so you stay responsive without burning out. We’ll focus on simple habits and smart systems that reduce noise and protect your time.

In this session with DigiEnable, you’ll learn how to set up a calmer inbox using clear folders, rules and routines, create boundaries around when and how you respond, and design a scheduling system that supports focus rather than constant interruption.

We’ll also explore how to handle communication across email, messaging apps and calendars in a way that feels intentional, not reactive.

You’ll leave with:

• A simpler, calmer inbox setup you can stick to
• A clear approach to managing messages across channels
• A more intentional way to use your calendar
• Less digital noise and more mental headspace

Before the session: Make sure you can access your email and calendar during the workshop so you can apply what you learn in real time.

RISE: Self-Leadership in Practice

Date: Thursday, 11th June 2026
Time: 12noon to 1pm
Price: £25 +VAT
Venue: Online

A one-hour experiential workshop for leaders, professionals, and business owners who are ready to lead with greater clarity, calm, and self-trust in the midst of pressure and change.

Many capable leaders find themselves navigating increasing responsibility, shifting roles, and the quieter internal impact of ongoing demands. This session offers a practical reset.

RISE is an embodied self-leadership method that helps you return to inner clarity, regulate pressure, and lead from grounded self-trust rather than overthinking, overgiving, or external expectation. It supports you through periods of transition, growth, and change - professionally and personally - where focus, energy, and confidence may feel less predictable than before.

• You will be guided through the four pillars of the RISE Method:
• Reconnect – return to presence and embodied awareness
• Intuition – strengthen clarity and decision-making
• Sovereignty – release over-responsibility and reclaim authority
• Embody – integrate grounded, confident leadership

Each pillar includes a simple, guided practice you can immediately apply in a professional setting.

You will leave with:

• Greater calm, clarity, and grounding
• Practical tools to manage pressure and overwhelm
• Stronger decision-making and boundaries
• Increased resilience through change
• A felt sense of embodied leadership

Who this is for:

Leaders, professionals, and business owners who want to lead with more ease and self-trust without burnout or overwhelm. Especially relevant for those navigating transition, sustained pressure, or life-stage shifts - including menopause and other natural changes that can affect energy, focus, and resilience. Designed by women, for women, and open to all genders.

Delivered by: Jen Maxwell is an empowerment coach, speaker, and founder of Lakeland Wellbeing CIC, supporting individuals and organisations to lead with confidence, resilience, and authenticity. She is the creator of the RISE Method, a self-leadership framework that blends practical tools with embodied practice to support grounded, sustainable leadership from the inside out.
