Heads ‘N Tails Dynamics

The OFFERING

Heads N Tails provides human clients the opportunity to improve their physical and mental well being (heads) by interaction with (tails) animals, especially dogs and horses. The offerings’ title, Heads N Tails, is evocative of the coin toss games, which assume that odds are even to predict whether one side or the other will be flipped. We believe that people treat their lives and happiness with much the same random expectations.

Mathematicians have proven that by “calling” the side of the coin which is up before the toss, one improves the probability of a correct call. This study is called Dynamical Bias in the Coin TossAuthors: Persi Diaconis, Susan Holmes, and Richard Montgomery.

At Heads N Tails we believe the indisputable evidence that interaction between humans with animals releases positive hormones of Serotonin and Oxytocin which greatly improves the odds for both physical and emotional well-being. Our exercises are designed to improve our client’s HEADS while increasing their rapport with the TAILS or pets.

Man’s best friend

Through thick and thin, our dogs provide us with love, loyalty, companionship without any judgement. Dogs don’t care about how rich or poor we are, they simply care about loving us and being loved back. According to a survey by Blue Cross, 58% of respondents who suffer with a mental health problem stated that love and loyalty was the most beneficial aspect for their mental health from owning a pet – dogs can alleviate stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness.

Meditation, Rapport and Engagement

All of Heads N Tails therapy sessions begin with an interactive meditation where clients will look at their animal, clear their mind and silently chant (WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL). As the human mind inevitably becomes distracted, we ask the human to clear their mind and return to the CHANT. This adaptation of transcendental meditation is easy, fun and increases our engagement and connection to our pet. The calming and energising of our more peaceful mind has been scientifically proven to reduce stress and release beneficial hormones.

Whitespace offers advisory sessions for both corporate groups and individual executives, who need to confront and indeed, ‘metamorphise’ into a happy and productive entity.  Metamorphosis comes from the Greek, μεταμόρφωσις, to transform, transforming. This is not the typical ‘embrace change’ and ‘overcome team resistance’ to new corporate strategies, but an emotional inventory of the upsets caused by our human proclivity to maintain the homeostatic balance, in other words, stay the same.

Whitespace believes that business leaders need help to successfully ‘change often’ and we use the term ‘metamorphise’ because, like the biological transformative process from tadpole to frog or catepilllar to butterfly, executives need to address their natural emotional resistance to change and embrace their new responsibilities in order to expand their effectiveness.  The transformation required from executives who need to confront the increasingly frequent corporate events of downsizing or mergers with the accompanying change of reporting lines and critical objectives is always challenging.

Whitespace combines group exercises with individual consultations in order to build consensus, as well as, understand particular feelings, which may impede a successful transition.  Our methodology allows your key executives to articulate and confront their emotions, which promotes a successful transition.   Many times an executive’s personal life may carry over to the workplace and tragic events at home such as divorce and death as well as, the more mundane household changes may prevent the required executive metamorphosis. The confidential and safe environment of Whitespace will mitigate the upsets and resistance, which may be unseen and hidden from senior management.

Whitespace will review and refine the key objectives for your management team.  The clarity and definition of the corporate priorities is always more acceptable when delivered from an experienced, objective Whitespace professional. We would be pleased to design a bespoke program to your budgetary and time requirements.

“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change, often.”

S.A.S.S.Y.Y. WOMEN is an acronym for the Whitespace offering designed to help ladies achieve Self Assured, Self Starting, Yin and Yang training. The cultural prohibitions preventing women from excelling in non-domestic roles, requires an understanding of both, the male and female energies found in each of us. The self awareness and communication skills developed in our program are designed to shatter the glass ceiling which continues to be constructed and supported by inhibited women and uninformed men. We have worked with several universities in formalised educational settings, to deliver programs designed to empower women. Our tailored programs for business go beyond the Human Resource departments’ requirements to sensitise the workplace and explores the productivity gained by diverse views. “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” – Anais Nin
