Highly Sensitive People

About 20% of the world’s population are Highly Sensitive People (HSP), who are hypersensitive to external stimuli and have a greater depth of cognitive processing and high emotional reactivity.

HSP's have a greater awareness or sensitivity to their environment and to other people. They often have higher degrees of empathy because they seem to be able to read people more quickly and deeply and are also more aware of themselves. There is a downside but when managed well those HSP's who have positive thoughts and positive thinking strategies, are just as capable, just as positive and can maximise their potential as much as, if not more than, anybody else.

HSP’s can flourish and out perform others in the right working environment. We want to help you make the most of being HSP so that you can use it to your advantage and build potential faster. Our programme has been created to improve awareness and understanding of how HSP's can flourish in the right environment and can be provided as a one-day training course, a session at a conference or as part of a coaching programme for individuals.
