Ivy Watts

Ivy was such a warm, relatable, and comforting presence which was exactly what our team needed at that moment. With uncertainty around funding and job security, this session couldn’t have come at a better time. She made the topic of mental wellness and managing stress in the workplace feel approachable, and she gave us realistic, easy-to-implement tools for managing stress (nothing felt overwhelming or out of reach!).  One thing that stood out to me was how genuine she was. It didn’t feel like she was checking a box by meeting with us, it felt like she was truly speaking to us, and listening to our concerns/ what we were going through. People were engaged the whole time, which can be hard to do in a virtual setting, and I’ve already heard from several employees that they're excited to try some of the techniques she shared.  From start to finish, Ivy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took the time in our intro call to really learn about our company and what we needed, helped guide me toward the workshop that would be the best fit, and was flexible with timing and other logistics to make it work for us. She made the whole process simple and stress-free, and the end result was a session that left our team feeling heard, supported, and better equipped to take care of themselves both in and out of work.

Mental wellness is an important topic amongst our workforce, but often times we forget to take care of ourselves and check in with others. Ivy provided many different ways to incorporate mindfulness into regular work activities. My team now sets aside 10 mins at the end of our weekly meetings to go through a wellness exercise. We rotate who leads the activity which have ranged from breathing exercises to Japanese calisthenics. We leave the meeting refreshed, relaxed, and with a more positive outlook for the day. Thanks so much, Ivy!

Ivy Watts' presentation to our BEN ERG employees was nothing short of transformative. Our post-event survey reflected overwhelmingly positive feedback, with participants consistently rating the session 9s and 10s. Ivy's authentic and relatable approach resonated deeply, providing practical and enduring strategies for managing mental health and combating burnout. Employees praised her ability to deliver actionable techniques that they could immediately implement in their daily lives, fostering a sense of empowerment and well-being. The impact of her session has been palpable, leaving a lasting positive impression and equipping our team with valuable tools for long-term mental wellness.

First things first—Ivy’s smile says it all! She is so welcoming. In this session, she reminded me that I am enough and that it’s okay not to be okay. I realized that when you focus on the great things in your life, they outweigh the bad. The tapping technique was amazing—I found it really helped calm me down during an anxious moment.

Finally, the affirmations: I am worthy. I am enough. I am good enough. Sometimes, when you enter certain spaces, you must remind yourself of these truths.

Looking forward to the next session with Ivy—well done!

Ivy's presentation was incredible, she was energetic, and real. She demonstrated how it's ok to be vulnerable and acknowledge when things in life are not ok. She delivered an inspiring and moving presentation and left us with tools to equip ourselves to feel mentally empowered. The positive feedback we received from the attendees has been overwhelming. I highly recommend this session with Ivy and would absolutely book her for a future event.
