These online courses and events are hosted by Clara Rose Consultancy with The StressLess coach Vikki Pratley
After many years as a practicing employment lawyer and a founding partner of a successful law firm, Vikki suffered from burnout; recently recognised by the World Health Organisation as being caused by chronic workplace stress that is not successfully managed.
Through her experience, Vikki is accustomed to high pressure situations connected to advising in disciplinary and grievance procedures, acting
for clients at Tribunal, advising Boards of Directors and C-Suite clients, working with public and private sector clients and much more. What she lacked personally was an appreciation of her mental fitness, a clear life vision and some fundamental and learnable key skills that could have kept her safe from burnout.
During her recovery, Vikki realised that such education or skills are rarely valued or taught at law school – nor in many professional sectors. Therefore, Vikki was inspired to help others to be high performers without risking burnout. So, building on her Psychology and Social Science first
degree and many years as a lawyer, she retrained as an ILM certified coach, ABNLP certified NLP practitioner, licenced practitioner of Liberating Leadership® and Pioneering Professional® and is the business owner of Skylark.
Vikki now works with professionals, through Skylark’s StressLess Clinic. From speaking or facilitating events or on a one-to-one or group basis, Vikki works with individuals and professional firms to help them successfully manage workplace stress and create sustainably high performing environments for themselves and others.
Vikki has a holistic approach to her work, always starting with the individual before equipping them with a tool-kit for success, including a mindset, key skills and, for leaders, a process.
