    Give Yourself A Break!

    Presented by Tim Segaller, Director @ Rising Minds Life at work can be both fulfilling, but also incredibly demanding – with ever increasing pressures on our time and attention. Often when things get tough, our knee-jerk reactions – to find a quick fix, to work harder, or to ignore problems – can make things worse. Left unchecked, this tendency can lead to stress, exhaustion and burnout. This highly interactive and experiential webinar prescribes the universal antidote to such ills: a balanced approach to working life and to ourselves – rooted in neuroscience – that harnesses our natural energy and self-compassion to deal with tough challenges effectively, and to thrive in our work. Key takeaways include:- How to nip stress in the bud early How to use simple and easy in-the-moment tools to step out of ‘autopilot’ and into ‘intentional’ mode How to plan and flex one’s time intentionally and mindfully How to work effectively with one’s inner critical voice How to manage energy to fit the tasks at hand

    Achieve Peak Performance At Work And Beyond

    Presented by Abigail Ireland, Peak Performance Strategist @ Understanding Performance In this session, we will explore the concept of peak performance. What does it mean? And how can it help us to perform better at work, be more productive and achieve results that matter whilst looking after ourselves in the process? Current times have shown that it is crucial to invest in more than just our technical skills. Our ability to excel and consistently bring our best selves to work is also dependent on our ability to fine-tune psychological and physiological factors that impact performance, as well as optimise the way we operate and engage with our external environment. Key takeaways include:- An understanding of peak performance and where you currently sit on the scale Clarity on key levers you can adjust to fine-tune your performance at work Practical tactics you can apply immediately to uplevel your daily performance at work and beyond

    How Self-Compassion Can Help You Thrive

    Presented by Karen Liebenguth, Life and leadership coach and mindfulness trainer @ Green Space Coaching & Mindfulness Many of us believe that being compassionate to ourselves is weak and self-indulgent; that being self-critical is the way to go to keep you up the mark. Quite the opposite is true. Research shows that people who practice self-compassion are more emotionally robust and resilient because they are more able to learn from their mistake rather than getting overwhelmed by negative emotions. In this workshop we’ll explore how we can become aware of our inner critic and begin to change the attitude towards ourselves into one that is compassionate, kind and respectful. Key takeaways include:- Understand what self-compassion is Science behind self-compassion Self-compassion practice for day-to-day life

    Presented by Angel N. Livas, Founder, The Woman Behind The Business and Sope Agbelusi, Managing Director, Mindset Shift When you would meet colleagues at the watercooler, you have the opportunity to have quick conversations amongst peers; it's a space for colleagues to connect through topics where there is an obvious problem or a difficult situation that people do not want to talk about in an open environment. The Virtual Watercooler is a space to continue those hard to have conversations with a network of like-minded attendees who will have had similar experiences. Join Sope Agbelusi and Angel Livas as they discuss the impact of 2020 on Black mental health and productivity. As the pandemic progresses, systemic racism and the death of Black people consistently in the news, how can Black people look after themselves and their mental health?

    Toxicity of Perfectionism and How to Break Free

    'I'm a perfectionist' used to be a clever answer you'd give in an interview when they asked you what your greatest weakness was, hoping that this would be an impressive and desirable trait. However, now that research shows that it is linked to a raft of mental and physical health conditions, there is greater awareness of the more toxic side of perfectionism. This webinar will dive into the light and dark sides, the pressures we all face and why, as well as the steps you can take to break free from toxic perfectionism to have a life and career filled with far greater success, confidence and wellbeing. Key takeaways include:- Understand what perfectionism is, where it comes from and how it can become toxic Learn how to shift to the healthier, more productive paradigm of progress and self-validation instead Examine whether a productivity and profit based definition of success is serving you personally, humanity and the planet. If not, how should success be defined? Presented by Harriet Waley-Cohen, Women's Leadership Coach and Award Winning Speaker
