Upcoming sessions with Denise
"I’m definitely a bit of a perfectionist: I’ll get ‘perfection paralysis’ and find every way under the sun to procrastinate! These days I’ll say to myself: “I know you want it to be perfect but you have no idea how it’s going to turn out! Just take action.” If you wait to be ‘perfect’, you might never start! That’s my philosophy."
What to expect from a session with Denise
Denise's Sense Check
Did you know that you can calm your nervous system by using your five senses? Ground your feet to the floor, take a deep breath and use the ‘5, 4, 3, 2, 1’ method to work through your senses: five thing you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell and one thing you can taste.
Playful, energetic, chatty
Expect a smile along with your reset - join me and let’s go with the flow! You’ll enjoy a blend of energising and playful games or quizzes while also gaining the opportunity to recharge and reset in between your blocks of focus.
Soulful Sounds
Prepare to be transported back in time as we listen to the sounds of old school instrumentals, soulful RnB and some deep house!
Get to know Denise
Presenter and youth worker...
...Denise is a UK-based facilitator with over a decade of experience in the education and training sector.
She started her career in the DEI space before discovering her passion for empowering the younger generation. Denise left the corporate world in 2017 and didn’t look back - she moved to the Prince’s Trust where she honed her presenting skills while supporting young people with their own personal or professional development.
In 2018, Denise flew out on her own and set up her social enterprise, 4YoungMinds, where she empowers young people to take control of their wellbeing through workshops and mentoring.
What brings you to FLOWN?
I‘ve been a freelancer for almost a decade and facilitating spaces in which people can grow and learn has always been a passion of mine. After trying a Flock out for myself, I instantly saw and felt the benefits and I knew I wanted to be part of the family! FLOWN is mutually beneficial for myself and our wonderful membership: I genuinely love the energy they bring to the room and I love getting my work done alongside everyone else. It’s win-win.
What keeps you motivated?
I’m motivated by THE WORLD! I love to travel and see new places, cultures and of course…food. Fortunately, FLOWN has given me the structure needed in the chaos of freelancing, allowing me to focus on my everyday tasks and tick through my to-do list.
What makes you happy?
A good series binge, right now ‘One Piece’ (anime) has my full attention! A really good meal that makes you do a happy dance in your seat. Animals are the fastest way to put a smile on my face - I am that person in the park who’ll allow your dog to climb all over me.
Where else might we find you?
You’ll find me either in a school somewhere in London empowering young people to become their best self, on the radio chatting away as I do best or binging a series in my new rocking chair - which was literally the best purchase I’ve ever made!
