This ties into Ross’s philosophy of Sonoma Mindset, which is about finding your place in life, identifying your strengths, and taking on life and using every opportunity as a chance to grow.  It has served him well over the past 30 years, and it’s something Ross is keen to share with others.

Stress and anxiety .. how to cope
In this video, Ross talks about stress and anxiety and shares some tips on how we can change our mindset and our relationship with them. Anxiety and stress affect us all differently but prolonged exposure to these emotions are detrimental to our emotional and physical health. Sometimes the hormones our bodies release during periods of stress including adrenaline and cortisone, can actually help us perform better but most often stress is perceived in a negative way. Having experienced multiple panic attacks and burnout Ross is all too familiar with the feelings of low efficiency, irritability and profound tiredness stress can cause. Ross shares how becoming more self-aware, building confidence, talking about our feelings and seeing these feelings as an opportunity rather than a threat can help. Learning how to get out of our comfort zone into our stretch zone whilst not allowing ourselves to enter the panic zone is key.

Corporate Mental Fitness In Action
Here Ross McWilliam and Jenny Pelling, Director of Apprenticeship Development and Diversity for Kaplan Financial, reflect on corporate mental fitness. Ross has been supporting Kaplan with personal development seminars for their apprentices and UK students. These seminars were initially introduced during lockdown to help support their delegate's mental health, offering practical guidance, tips and training on how to overcome setbacks and reach their full potential. These interactive workshops touched on subjects such as prioritising to avoid stress, imposter syndrome and confidence being a foundation for growth, managing conflict and how to set yourself up for the year ahead. During the video, Ross and Jenny discuss how they received invaluable feedback from delegates which allowed them to tailor subsequent sessions. Delegates were able to draw on advice and information from Ross allowing them to flourish.

Celebrating World Book Night
To celebrate World Book Night (23rd April 2022), Ross visited Pool House Primary School in Preston to donate some of his CUPPA journey books which aim to help young children develop a confident mindset, promote positivity, self-esteem, confidence, resilience and empathy but also encourage their love of reading.
