Workshop Wednesday - Reframing, reclaiming and redefining with Petra Laranjo

Our Workshop Wednesdays shine light on some of SA's most successful entrepreneurs, whether they're running their own teams with a string of successful projects, creating positive impact in economies and communities, or simply helping businesses do better, be better. We're looking forward to sharing their successes, failures, secrets and brilliant ideas from the comfort and convenience of Workshop17. Join us to tap into these creatives, where ideas are part of their DNA and sharing is part of our growth.

Join us this month for a talk with Petra Laranjo - Reframing Stress. Reclaiming Energy. Redefining Performance.

In this immersive and practical talk, Petra Laranjo. Globally recognised speaker, award-winning coach, and published author of ‘Living ON Purpose - The Key To Change Your Life And Impact Others.’, and Founder of social impact platform JustOneThing365 NPC - blends mindset reframing with practical, science-backed somatic techniques you can integrate anytime, anywhere. The result? Inviting more ease and joy into your life and business, and creating from a space of possibility rather than constant problem-solving.

• Reset your nervous system in high-pressure moments—in the boardroom, between meetings, or during tough conversations.

• Shift from stress-driven reactivity to clear, intentional action.

• Build sustainable rhythms that fuel focus, energy, and creative thinking.

In today’s high-performance culture, the cost of ignoring well-being is expensive. We know this, yet ‘finding the time’ to take better care of ourselves often gets traded for the next target or another workout to push through the stress. Hustle culture keeps us always ‘on,’ running on caffeine, adrenaline, and momentum. Too scared to stop because we tell ourselves that we can’t ‘afford’ for things to fall apart. Until our immune systems, or something else, finally force us to.

Talk therapy alone is no longer enough. True transformation happens when the mind and body work in alignment: body, mind, and Being. So, you can show up fully present and activated in both your work and your life.

When you realign your nervous system, presence, and purpose, you create the space for clarity, momentum, and innovation. This is where strategy meets science and where performance meets possibility.
