GoalCraft Stress Management Workshop for HR Professionals

Feb 2023

Validating Stress Management for Executives with Real-Time Data

​Nature of Event:	Corporate Wellness Workshop
Products Used:	Upmood Mass, Upmood Insight
Metrics Collected:	Mood (Calm, Happy, Pleasant), Stress Level

GoalCraft, led by sleep expert Cavan Chan, partnered with Calvin, a renowned sound therapist and singing bowl practitioner, to deliver a high-impact stress management workshop. The session was specifically designed for HR leaders and high-performance executives—individuals who operate in high-pressure environments daily. The workshop combined breathwork, visualization exercises, and singing bowl meditation to foster relaxation.

For this engagement, GoalCraft integrated Upmood’s technology to provide a layer of scientific validation to these ancient practices. The goal was to allow analytical, data-driven professionals to not just feel the difference but to see the objective shift in their emotional state as they progressed through the relaxation techniques.

Visualizing the Shift to Calmness 

Held in February 2023, the workshop guided participants through a structured journey of relaxation. As executives engaged in deep breathwork, guided visualization, and immersive singing bowl meditation, they wore Upmood bands to monitor their physiological responses.

Using the Upmood Mass system, the facilitators tracked the group's emotional trajectory in real-time. Instead of relying solely on subjective feedback, the technology captured the moment-by-moment transition from high-alert beta states to relaxed states. This allowed participants to view their emotional changes through each phase of the workshop, bridging the gap between the subjective experience of meditation and objective biological data.

Why Upmood? 

Upmood was the ideal partner for this corporate wellness initiative because it translated "wellness" into a language executives understand: data.

Group Dynamics: Upmood Mass allowed the facilitators to monitor the entire cohort of executives simultaneously, ensuring the methodology was effective for the group as a whole.

Validation of Method: Upmood Insight provided the detailed analytics needed to prove the efficacy of the specific techniques (breathwork vs. sound therapy), showing exactly when and how the nervous system regulated itself.

Actionable Feedback: By seeing their own data, participants were empowered to identify which techniques triggered their calmness, giving them concrete tools to manage stress in the workplace.

Key Outcomes and Results 

The integration of emotion monitoring turned a relaxation session into a verifiable success, providing concrete proof of the workshop's methodology.

• 100% Positive Shift: All participants recorded a transition to Calm, Happy, or Pleasant emotions by the end of the session, objectively validating the workshop's efficacy.

• Visualizing Impact: Participants could clearly see the correlation between the singing bowl meditation and the drop in their stress levels, reinforcing the value of the practice.

• Empowered Leadership: Executives left not only relaxed but with a data-backed understanding of how to regulate their own emotions and support their teams in doing the same.

Conclusion 

This collaboration with GoalCraft and Calvin demonstrated the power of combining holistic health practices with biometric technology. By making the invisible visible, Upmood helped validate the importance of stress management in the corporate world. This case study serves as a model for how corporate wellness programs can use Upmood to prove ROI (Return on Investment) in terms of employee well-being and emotional regulation.
