Professor Sir Cary Cooper CBE, 50th Anniversary Professor of Organisational Psychology and Health
Enhancing Mental Wellbeing in the New World of Work
Sir Cary’s address will highlight the business costs triggered by an absence of mental wellbeing and the reasons behind this; the changing nature of work due to the impact of Covid-19; and what the world of work will look like in the coming year and perhaps beyond. Mental wellbeing at work is now a ‘must have’ for all organisations rather than a ‘nice to have’: people’s lives literally depend on it.
Live Event moderated by Jane Thomas

Live Event
with Lotte Mikkelsen, Happiness Expert, Laughter Yoga Master Trainer
In this Energiser session we will be exploring how laughter can be used daily as a tool that will take us through lockdown and keep us in touch with other people in a positive way.
For this session it is important to have your sound and video turned on so we can all share laughter together. Laughter works when we hear the sound and see the smiles - the mirror neurons are acting as triggers and we connect through sharing the experience, rather than laughing at anyone or anything.
Join us for a 45-minute deep-dive workshop session with an Expert of your choice

How Many Steps to Resilience?
This session demonstrates how resilience is much more than simply ‘bouncing back’!
Powerful resources will include a set of life skills that can put both the individual and the organisation back in the driving seat. Employees want to engage with positivity and organisations require a resilient workforce, especially now with all the uncertainty caused by the Covid pandemic.

Proven Keys to Reducing Stress and Building Resilience In and Out of the Workplace
Resilience is not what you think – it's not merely about ‘bouncing back’ and ‘perseverance’.

Prash will talk about proven keys, including ‘the perspective tool’ to turn your inner critic into an inner coach within 15 minutes; the pillars of resilience and how to build them; key behaviours that prevent you from building a resilient mindset; practical techniques to reduce stress, increase calm and self-awareness. Arrive with an open mind and leave with a suit of armour!
