Research
Research Title: Recreational physical challenge, self-efficacy and performance in the workplace.
In collaboration with The leadership High Organisation, the research aims to investigate the psychosocial outcomes (e.g, confidence and leadership) that can be developed through frequent engagement with physical recreational challenges. Through observational and experimental methods, we aim to generate data on the short and long-term outcomes for individuals and workforces from participating in these challenges.
