Nancy works with professionals and leaders who carry significant responsibility and continue to perform well, even as the internal cost of that performance quietly increases. Her work focuses on the hidden relationship between chronic pressure, nervous system capacity, and sustainable performance. Rather than approaching stress primarily as a mindset or time-management issue, she helps people understand how prolonged activation affects focus, emotional regulation, decision-making, communication, and connection long before anything visibly breaks down. Drawing on her background in quality management, leadership, coaching, and extensive training in stress and nervous system regulation, Nancy combines practical insight with a bottom-up perspective on human functioning. She is the creator of Balance™ - Sustainable Performance, a framework that helps professionals recognise declining capacity early, restore the foundations of sustainable performance, and remain effective without relying solely on compensation and pushing through. Nancy lives in Belgium and works internationally through online programmes.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.

    odd structure to be watching as a 1 hour session - as this is meant to be weekly sessions per their comments and 'welcome back' each time.

    The course content was excellent and I really enjoyed the speakers. However, I found it to be very choppy and did not appreciate having to click on the new section every 2-3 minutes especially for a 1 hour course.
