Calm In A Box is about to turn five this Autumn (yes, we’re officially old enough for school now), so we’ve been doing a little reflecting.

Which got us thinking: who do we work with best? What keeps them up at night (apart from doomscrolling)? And, most importantly, what type of CALM do they actually need?

So, curious to know who you are? Read on, because we’ve boiled it down to four types — take a look and see which one feels most like you.

The People-Focused Leader

You’re the one checking in on everyone else before you’ve had your first coffee. You care deeply about your team and want them to thrive — but let’s be honest, balancing “human-first leadership” with endless meetings, emails, and targets can feel like spinning plates… on a unicycle.
The CALM you need: simple, doable ways to lead with empathy without burning yourself out in the process.

The Work/Life Brilliance Seeker

You love your work (most days) but you also love your life.. You’re on a mission to find that sweet spot where you can chase your goals, be there for the people that matter and change the world in your spare time.
The CALM you need: unlocking the performance and productivity edge with less pain, tools and tricks to protect your time, stay focused, find your flow and actually switch off (for at least five minutes).

The Disruption Designer

You look at the “this is how we’ve always done it” crowd and think… nope. You’re ready to reimagine how work should be done — more human, more flexible, more fun. And you’ve got big plans for changing things up. Once and for all.
The CALM you need: room to think big, experiment fearlessly, and keep your creative spark alive while everyone else catches up.

The Wellbeing Enthusiast

You’re the one sharing articles, organising wellness challenges, and encouraging others to take a break. You’re passionate about creating a healthier, happier workplace — but sometimes you feel like you’re pushing a boulder uphill.
The CALM you need: fresh ideas, a bit of backup, and a like-minded community cheering you on (because yes, you deserve support too!).

So, which one are you? Maybe you’re a mix (we see you, Work/Life Brilliance Seeker + Disruptive Designer ✨).

Either way, we’d love to know!

Calm In A Box partners with businesses, teams and leaders to help them slow down to go faster for more great days at work.

We have developed our CALM philosophy and toolkit to facilitate focused and proactive work on culture, mindset and behaviour change programmes so leaders and teams can be well, to do well, combining our knowledge and experience of practical application with academic research in partnership with University of Nottingham.
