At Scandinavian Tobacco Group, employees are invited to participate in workshops focused on body awareness and self-regulation—a combination of science translated into plain language and practical application. By understanding how the body-mind connection works, you can have a tremendous impact on your own energy and the energy you project toward others. Soula, one of the participants, shares from the heart how this had a positive impact on her, her choices, her job, and her loved ones. You can read her own words below.

Hey, I wanted to let you know what this three-day training meant to me, or rather, what it has changed.
What I couldn’t believe would happen, happened anyway.
By simply gaining more insight into myself and clearing my head with your incredibly simple techniques, I was able to make room for peace of mind.
My job as a support person is sometimes chaotic, and we often have to deal with a lot from the operators.
That was the hardest part for me because I always act with good intentions, but somehow it didn’t come across that way to people (in my head).
A very important thing (in my head) that I learned from you is that what was going on in my head wasn’t always the truth.
It is wonderful to reflect on that.
In difficult situations, I literally and figuratively take a step back, feel my feet, and can calm my mind; I even apply it with my daughter, who is now heavily pregnant ;). I notice that it has truly changed me; becoming aware of your body, especially my feet, and realizing that it is just work and daring to name it as such put a lot into perspective for me. I even used your training in my application for another position within the company, that’s how much I sincerely valued it.
I definitely want to thank you for this; I have also taken steps to act professionally regarding a rather personal attack on my appearance, and I have come out stronger, if I may say so myself 💪. So, a big and heartfelt thank you.
I think everything truly resonated with me because you made me see that even a bulldozer can find its way. Thank you for the honest examples you use in your lessons; it was SUPER.
Sorry, I couldn’t put it any more briefly.
Kind regards, Soula from STG
