The Jamshidi Mental Strength and Fitness
Training Programs for Men in the Workplace
These and many other challenges afflict men in the workplace who are overwhelmed with stress, the pressure to perform, and the stigmas of masculinity they must continually strive for but mostly feel like they fail to live up to. At least that’s how they feel.
Left unchecked, this can lead to outcomes that are extremely costly for your company and the individual. These include burnout, which can lead to chronic health conditions and mental health challenges. It can also cause them to act out with substance abuse, sexual harassment and unhealthy rivalries.These and other negative conditions can cause deals to fall through, critical tasks to go unfinished, employee conflict and turnover to increase, and lost revenue.
Solving this problem isn’t easy, because unlike women, men are historically and culturally more resistant to therapy and counseling. Therefore, these and other mental wellness challenges require a different approach.
Let’s explore how the Jamshidi Method – a proprietary mental health training program developed by a masculinity researcher specifically for men in the workplace – can revive your corporate team culture, restore peak performance, reduce lost productivity, and increase sales output

“The most profound business challenges we face today is how to build organizations that can change as fast as change itself.” – Gary Hamel
Leaders set the tone. Cultures built on micromanagement, excessive hierarchies that isolate and divide, or lack of transparency, will struggle to establish trust.Without trust, there is no empowerment. Such a culture eventually devolves into stress, pressure, and backbreaking expectations to meet quotas. Your company becomes less agile, less innovative, and morals suffer in workplace relationships and communication..
This only reduces productivity and revenueEngagement suffers. Your top talent starts to leave. Finally, growth stalls, and you get stuck in the hiring-and-rehiring cycle. How big a problem is this across the system? According to a 142-country study by Gallup, only 13% of employees are engaged at work.
Our Power Series offers a way out of this downward spiral so your company can adapt and respond to change with continual innovation and healthy problem-solving collaboration.
Power Series Part 1
Overcoming Powerlessness
In part one, we address the feeling of powerlessness in men.
Traditional masculinity culture presents a dichotomy that puts most men in a predicament. On the one hand, it defines masculinity as an evident, luminous, powerful, and a given identity, but there is a catch. These accolades only apply if he is an alpha; patriarchy’s glorified stereotype. On the other hand, for the overwhelming majority of men who are not born with the alpha personality type, their masculinity is an imperative, a duty, a performance, and a prover, meaning their masculinity is not given; it has to be achieved, earned, and proven repeatedly. It seems hard to acquire and easy to lose. That’s where the destructive notions of “man up“, and “not man enough” come from. This makes masculinity a fragile identity and creates a strong sense of powerlessness in many men
1. What do you do when you feel overpowered or outmatched?
2. What do you do when you doubt your ability to fulfill an important task?
3. How do you handle an impossible deadline that you can’t change?
Whether a situation is in your control or not, you can feel powerless. For most people, past trauma has created a pattern of hopelessness that leads to frustration, anger, stress, and fear, which makes you feel like you’re losing control of those situations. In this case, the feeling of powerlessness can be all too real. Sometimes, you face circumstances that are actually out of your control which perpetuate the sense of powerlessness more intensely. Over time, it leads to acting out and self-sabotage.
You can do everything possible to hire the right talent and provide them with the best sales tools, but none of that matters if they don’t feel seen or heard and instead feel inadequate and powerless.
With the proper mindset training, you can help your team develop inner strength so the outside elements cannot manipulate them. This helps them stay focused, efficient, and content. It also gives them the confidence to be a self-starter and push to be the best and do the best. This is an incredible way to minimize volatility and ensure steady growth.

The cultural understanding of masculinity tends to produce unnecessary pressure to live up to unnatural and unrealistic expectations. These cultural restraints often force men to make decisions based on how they need to be perceived personally (looking powerful, capable, competent, brave, confident, and in control) and not based on the health of the company.
For the men on your team trying to live up to these impossible standards, how are they going to respond on an inevitable day that their vulnerability and brokenness are exposed? It could be a workplace failure, a lost account, an outburst, a missed appointment due to a hangover, or overdose – any number of things.
That triggers the spiral.
Your masculinity has taken a hit, and now you have to avoid people, cower in the shadows, and find a way to regain your carefully cultivated previous status at all costs. The problem is, now you feel like less of a man, so re-cultivating your old public image isn’t as easy this time and perhaps at the expense of the company’s well-being and growth.
This is when your A-team burns out and quits, or you come to a painful decision that it’s time to let them go.
This training teaches you how to
- Break out of the downward spiral
- Defeat the false perceptions of masculinity
- Find a permanent and internal source of self-confidence
- Bounce back from failures and setbacks much faster than before Imagine your whole team being able to do this. How would that affect your productivity, workplace culture, and relationships with clients and customers? That would make you, your company, and your team invincible.

Power Series Part 3:
Emotional Intelligence.
Master your emotions
Once corporate men learn the 7-step formula and start practicing it, a common question is, “What’s next”?
The 7-step formula is situational. You use it in the moment you need it.
But for longer-term mental health challenges in the workplace, you need strategies to manage your emotions so they don’t turn negative and drive you off course.
Your emotional health and ability to consistently perform and deliver at a high level depends on your ability to bounce back quickly from failures and setbacks and keep performing, push through challenges, work with difficult people to produce positive outcomes, and show continual sales and revenue growth for your team and company.
What doesn’t work is what most men do – they suppress the anger, stress, fear, and rejection, and look for a way to cope with it or escape from it outside the workplace.
This final component in the Power Series teaches your team how to manage emotions without suppressing or avoiding them.
This helps the men on your team remain vibrant, positive, productive, engaged, and motivated in and out of the workplace.
