Marney Performance and Wellbeing

Wellbeing that helps people perform sustainably

I help organisations and schools create the conditions where people can think clearly, recover properly and do their best work, without burning out.

Matt Marney talking with participants during a workplace session

Why wellbeing matters

Wellbeing is shaped by how we lead and how we work

Modern life places growing demands on our attention, energy and wellbeing. In the workplace and the classroom, many people are struggling to manage stress, stay focused and recover well.

Lasting change rarely comes from a single initiative. My practical approach looks at three things together:

  • Leadership

    how leaders set priorities and shape culture

  • Working practices

    workload, communication and recovery

  • Individual habits

    stress, sleep, focus and movement

Featured workshop

Leading Workplace Wellbeing

A 90-minute workshop for senior leaders exploring the relationship between wellbeing, performance, culture and organisational success. Wellbeing without the fluff, for leaders who want clarity, direction and real impact.

In their words

Trusted by leaders, HR teams and schools

Matthew's course was on point. Having our leadership team in the room was critical. It opened our eyes to practical, often overlooked strategies that help us become better managers of both others and ourselves, and therefore, better leaders. The sessions are sharp and engaging. Highly recommend this to any CEO looking to genuinely upskill their leadership team.

Matt's coaching sessions were truly transformative for our senior team. Over the course of two workshops, he provided invaluable insights and practical tools to help us tackle stress and embrace mindfulness. His approach was engaging and tailored to our unique challenges. Through interactive activities and clear explanations, Matt not only taught us techniques but also inspired us to integrate mindfulness into our daily routines.

It was a pleasure to have Matthew Marney with us yesterday at Alfa Laval. He introduced to more than 70 colleagues, searching for increased wellbeing at work and reduced stress levels generated by this unprecedented times, different simple techniques or habits that anyone can apply on a daily basis. Thanks Matt Marney and our happiness club for bringing this talented man to guide us.

Matt delivered an exceptional experience with an energetic attitude for the employees at MBRU during the very informative posture workshop that he held. After the session employees described feeling more aware about their posture and were ready to implement the practical tips shared during the workshop to their work-life. Overall, a smooth experience from the planning stages to the workshop itself.

I very much enjoyed participating in Matt Marney's stress workshop. The workshop was very informative and goal-orientated, providing us with key takeaways of things to implement after the workshop. Matt made sure to keep all the participants engaged and fully present in the moment. I look forward to participating in future workshops held by Matt.
