Join us for these interactive online events!

 
 

Many businesses have, understandably, had to cancel or postpone training and development programmes for the foreseeable future.

Yet our physical and mental wellbeing is being pushed to the max during these uncertain times, with homeworking leaving many of us feeling isolated and some in fear of our jobs.

The time to invest in our wellbeing is now!

 
 

We are here to support and challenge you and whilst we find ourselves in such unprecedented times, we have created a special calendar of online and interactive events that will bring value to you or your teams, with minimal impact on your time and budget.  

The calendar of events either run well as a programme or as standalone events.

For firm businesses the workshops can be tailored and extended especially for you.

For individuals, if you’re a lawyer, why don’t you join in with a free group session and tell your friends and colleagues! (If you’re an individual but not in the legal profession contact me to discuss your sector!)

What are you waiting for? Check out the events below and either sign up or contact me. Go on, do it now!

During these uncertain times, caused by COVID-19, our team’s mental health is forefront of our minds. A mental health issue that is already rife in law firms is burnout, which could be exacerbated further during these troubling times.

The positive is, burnout is completely preventable. How? By successfully managing workplace stress, which can seem even more challenging when our teams are so remote.
