Different Hats helps organisations build cultures where people thrive, not just perform. Through our "You Alright Mate?" programmes, we transform how men in workplaces and young people in schools think about success, connection and wellbeing.
75% of suicides in the UK are male. Men remain the least likely to speak up or seek support. In workplaces, stress, burnout and presenteeism are rising. Among young people, identity pressure and emotional dysregulation are at crisis levels.The common thread? A definition of success built on titles, money and status. At the cost of connection, balance and wellbeing.We are not offering another wellbeing course. We are changing the conversation about what success actually means.
Our programmes are built on a simple framework. Five pillars that create lasting change:
Balance : Finding harmony between work, wellbeing and self
Authenticity : Living in alignment with your truth and values
Presence : Slowing down, listening and living in the moment
Fulfilment : Finding purpose and joy beyond achievement
Relationships : Strengthening connection with others and yourself
Same framework. Different applications. Whether we are working with senior leaders or sixth-formers, these pillars create real change.
A seven-session journey over three months for male employees. Through storytelling, reflection and honest conversation, participants build resilience, emotional awareness and a healthier relationship with success.
Not a training course. A culture shift.
Building emotional literacy and resilience in young people before crisis point. Delivered free to schools through corporate sponsorship.
Prevention is better than cure.
For every corporate masterclass we deliver, we run an adapted version for a local school or youth community. At no cost.
When you invest in your people, you invest in the next generation. Culture change that extends beyond your organisation into the community.
Whether you want to transform your workplace culture or register your school's interest, we would love to hear from you.
