STOP & FLOW in Action: Building Resilient Teams and Clients
As the creator of STOP & FLOW, I'm continually inspired by how our methodology supports both professionals and the people they serve. Today, I want to share a transformative story that highlights why organizations are increasingly turning to integrative approaches for workforce wellness.
When Marlene Lucio, one of our certified facilitators and a practicing nurse, began working with Candy, a high-performing professional, it highlighted a challenge many leaders recognize: traditional wellness approaches often fall short in addressing the complex needs of today's workforce. Despite having access to standard wellness resources, Candy was struggling with high stress levels, chronic pain, and overwhelming cravings that affected her work performance and wellbeing.
What unfolded demonstrates the power of giving teams practical, accessible tools for resilience. Through STOP & FLOW's integrative approach, Candy discovered how to:
Create micro-moments of calm during high-stress situations
Use simple movement practices to shift from overwhelm to clarity
Build sustainable daily practices that enhance both professional performance and personal wellbeing
The results speak to why more organizations are incorporating these practices: Candy's stress levels dropped by 60%, physical pain decreased by 50%, and she developed lasting strategies for emotional regulation. But perhaps more importantly, she gained tools she could use anywhere, anytime - no special equipment or environment needed.
Key Takeaways for Leaders:
Small shifts in daily practices can lead to significant improvements in team performance and wellbeing
Integrative approaches that combine movement with mindfulness offer practical solutions for workplace stress
When team members have effective self-regulation tools, it positively impacts both individual and organizational resilience
