Bite-sized Learning

Accessible. Practical. Convenient.
Keep learning, wherever you are.

Our bite-sized learning sessions represent a flexible and accessible way to develop new skills, while also minimising the opportunity cost of attending training. A set of short but impactful online sessions to boost your wellbeing, productivity and effectiveness at work.

Introducing Bite-sized Learning

Organised around our three core themes of Wellbeing, Productivity and Effectiveness, these interactive webinars represent an excellent opportunity for your teams to maintain and develop skills, wherever they’re located.

We focus on sharing an evidence-based perspective, the key concepts that set the scene, along with practical skills and their application in the real world. In each ninety-minute session, we’ll cover the essentials of the topic, and also signpost resources to attendees can continue their learning journal.

Perfect as a standalone session, our bite-sized learning modules can also be combined into a bespoke development programme for your organisation.

Our Bite-sized Courses

Each of our Bite-sized Courses lasts 90 minutes and is run via webinar. We have courses that cover each of our core solutions: Wellbeing, Productivity and Effectiveness. While each is designed to be independent of the others and can be facilitated as a standalone session, bite-sized sessions can also be combined and organised in the form of an ongoing development programme.

What our clients say

Given the challenging context we’re all living through at the moment, I asked Richard to run one of his webinars. The session was insightful, evidence-based, engaging and interactive. We learnt how the skills of psychological flexibility can be put into practice in our everyday lives and how they impact our wellbeing and resilience. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Richard and the WorkLifePsych team when it comes to workplace wellbeing events.- Ed Ling: Chief Growth and Operations Officer, MediaCom
...The session was a huge success with record virtual attendance from our members. Feedback was wholly positive and we were requested to provide the session recording and the content provided to our members through our own site for their future use. We would fully recommend WorkLifePsych and in particular Dr. MacKinnon as an invaluable resource and professional skills coach for any organisation.- Keith O'Connor: Marketing & Talent Attraction Manager, IAPI.
We asked Richard to run a few of his ‘Psychological Flexibility 101’ sessions and 55 of my colleagues signed up for the initial workshops. I was really impressed with their feedback and their comments in the brief online survey we used afterwards illustrated just how keen they were to learn more and start putting this all into practice.- Lorraine O'Sullivan: Group People Director, Dentsu Aegis Network Ireland
Richard’s talk (Coping with a Crisis) was insightful, informative and gave me that a-ha moment! Richard listened to our brief for his talks intently and got the material spot on. We wanted a talk that went deeper into the science whilst keeping a clear everyday application. Richard has a skill of talking to a large audience in a very personal, individual way, this has been my highlight of our speaker series so far!- Katie Beales: Senior Learning & Development Specialist, BCG Digital Ventures
Dr. Richard MacKinnon has coached many of our employees over the past years and all have found him to be hugely beneficial for both work and personal life. Richard also completed a session on the benefits of sleep for our employees, who have provided fantastic feedback on how the session has helped them through the challenging climate we are living in. The 'Benefits of Sleep' session gave fantastic insight into how such a simple and free thing can benefit you greatly!- Laura Bourke: People Solutions Partner, Dentsu Aegis Network
