Certificate of Competence
Alumni of the 18 week Foundation Training Programme can repeat the programme as many times as they want to as part of their maintenance plan. In so doing, alumni not only refresh their stress management and resilience building knowledge and skills, but expose themselves to developments in the programme.
CURRICULUM
Section One explores the underlying social, economic and technological changes that have driven the need for professionals to have such high levels of stress management and resilience building skills.
The training takes a novel approach to subjects such as neuroscience in which avatars are used to explore the role of neural structures in stress management and resilience building. The discussions enable trainees to develop strong compelling reasons to undertake the comprehensive Bio-Mastery practical training programmes.
Section two lays the groundwork by equipping individuals, teams and companies with the essential skills and knowledge needed for stress management and resilience building. This multi-disciplinary training programme introduces four key response strategies. The initial strategies are centred around behavioural and mental skills, aimed at strengthening individual professionals' capacity to cope with stress and improve their performance. The remaining strategies are centred on conceptual models, which help participants understand and play a role in creating high-performance 'super' teams and high-performance 'syntropic' organisations.
SECTION 1: PREPARATORY
SECTION 2: PRACTICAL
Section three explores the actual business results, contrasting the experiences of individuals, teams, and organisations that possess resilience with those that lack it during turbulent times. This examination is conducted through the creation of scenarios and detailed case study analysis, offering concrete insights into how resilience influences success at both the professional and organisational levels.
SECTION 3: APPPLIED
WORKSHOP
The follow-up workshop after the training includes a variety of engaging card and board games that push participants to achieve organisational goals amidst challenging times. These games assess the participants' ability to adapt and make decisions while they combine efforts at individual, team, and organisational levels to meet performance targets, utilising the skills and insights gained throughout their training.

ALUMNI
APPLIED
Training is not something to be rushed; it is a lifelong process. The aim is not to merely complete tasks but to build a foundation of understanding and skills that allow for continuous growth. Just as knowledge and skills evolve, so too must the individual—training is about immersion and reflection, not just speed. In trying to rush, we risk superficial learning, which lacks the depth necessary for long-term application and mastery."
ASSESSMENTS
Executives will be required to complete an open-book, online summative assessment within two months after the conclusion of their training programme. This assessment allows them to demonstrate their understanding and application of key concepts covered during the course.
BIO-MASTERY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TRAINING PROGRAMME
In today's fast-paced world, chronic stress has stealthily emerged as an epidemic, particularly rampant within the workplace. Events preceding, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the rapid evolution of disruptive technologies, initiated a seismic shift in societal and economic paradigms. This transformation has profoundly impacted the health professions industry and reshaped the nature of work itself. While some changes have been readily apparent and understandable, the magnitude, breadth, and underlying causes of most change have proved difficult to grasp. This has made it challenging for health professionals to anticipate, prepare for, and respond effectively to change, both in their professional capacities and personal lives. Despite this, the demands for high performance, both at individual and organizational levels, continue to escalate, increasing the strain on individuals, teams and organisations. Building a resilience workforce has become an indispensable prerequisite for health professionals. The ability to adapt with agility, maintain clarity of thought, and exhibit foresight has become nonnegotiable in today's dynamic and turbulent health sector.

APPLIED
The Bio-Mastery Health Professional Programme delves into real-world business outcomes, comparing the experiences of individuals, teams, and companies with and without resilience in times of turbulence. This exploration is facilitated through scenario setting and in-depth case study analysis, providing practical insights into the tangible impact of resilience on professional and organisational success.
POST-TRAINING
ABOUT APPLIED ETHICS
The four ethical principles of autonomy,
non-maleficence, beneficence and justice underpin the teachings of the Foundation training programme as prima facie requirements for highly complex technological societies to function effectively.
The ability to effect these principles of ethics are severely impaired when a professional is in a state of stress. Trainees are made aware that managing and monitoring stress and thriving in the modern workplace is a collaborative process between stakeholders. Effective management in modern organisation is dependent on:
-
Professionals being able to recognise and respond to dystopic thoughts and behaviours that negatively impact both themselves and others, and to have the skills to consciously induce states that positively impact both themselves and others.
-
Organisations facilitating the sustainable development and maintenance of such skills and knowledge in their professionals.
The post-training workshop involves a series of interactive card and board games designed to challenge participants to meet organisational objectives during periods of turbulence. The games test the participants' adaptability and decision-making abilities as they integrate individual, team, and organisational activities to achieve performance goals using the skills and knowledge acquired during their training.
