Throwback 2020

When face-to-face social interaction had become forbidden, Ed Watch took the initiative to bring people together virtually by providing the latest information and insights needed to develop skills for the challenges in times ahead.

Let us have a look at some of the honorable mentions of 2020:

Unlock the Best version of yourself

Keeping to its promise of complete personality development, Ed Watch conducted its first live session online in May 2020. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a person’s mental health and strategies to cope with stressors were discussed. It was a bilingual session in English & Urdu. The session was hosted by the founder of Ed Watch, Ms. Sana Quadri and animated by top coaches and consultants, namely, Ms. Farhana Mirza, fitness expert from “24 hour Fitness” & “LA fitness studio”, Dr. Alina Rashid, NLP practitioner from Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital (SKMH), and Ms. Asia Ashraf, national trainer for UNODC.

Stress Management Program

Ed Watch also developed a Stress Management Program, which was conducted for a group of employees of a corporate client. It is a three step approach specially designed to help people to alleviate underlying stress by identifying and addressing the root cause of the problem. The program consists of an individual assessment, that is, an online test and an online consulting session with our clinical psychologist. Then, a series of workshops is arranged for the group, as well as fitness classes. The program also allows an opportunity to follow up with the psychologist after the end of the workshops. The primary language of the program is English but it can be conducted in other languages including Arabic, Bahasa, Urdu and Mandarin.
