About this Masterclass

Beyond Caffeine is an expert-led masterclass on how energy rises and falls across the working day, and how to manage it on purpose. The afternoon crash isn’t inevitable, and it isn’t only a matter of sleep or coffee.


Your team learns what actually drains energy at work, including four drains most people never notice, and maps their own daily patterns. They then practise a technique for restoring energy in the middle of the day, instead of pushing through on caffeine and willpower.

Inside the session

Understand what drains your energy

Understand what drains your energy

The session breaks down what drains energy across a typical workday, including the four drains most people never notice, and why sleep and caffeine are only part of the picture. Knowing the causes makes it easier to manage energy on purpose.

02 · THE PRACTICE

Put the science into practice

Participants map their own daily energy patterns to see when and why their energy drops. They then learn and try a technique for restoring energy in the middle of the day, so they can recover properly instead of pushing through on willpower.
