Facilitating Wellness: Success in the System with Ingrid Messner | Monday October 08, 2018 | 5.30pm

October is Mental Health Month

Health is at the core of leadership. However, health is a term that is often misunderstood and seen too narrowly. Mental health is more than “mental”. People are wasting time, money and energy looking in the wrong spots for solutions to create healthy results and wellbeing – for people and planet.

Currently, we are transitioning from a knowledge-based to a wisdom-based economy. The best leaders know the value of making time to understand the whole picture—the detail and crucial broader context. I will be sharing a holistic perspective that is critical to success. Without it, you sacrifice productivity, performance and – most importantly - wellbeing.

The session will be highly experiential. Together as a group, we will be going on a journey and explore the different aspects of wellbeing.

Outcome for participants

• Increased awareness on how to leverage fresh perspective for
  complex challenges.
• Practical applications of ancient wisdom for today’s most pressing
  health challenges.

The Art of Resilience with Lina Mbirkou | Monday Sep 11 2017 | 5.30pm

None of us is immune to changes and challenges in life, however, as mindfulness leader, Jon Kabat-Zinn says: “You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”

But how to develop the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties? How to strengthen our ability to deal with challenges? Is it really possible to build resilience?

This is what we’re going to explore together in this 90 minute session. You are warmly invited you to:

• Discover a new way of learning that is practical and embodied.
• Find out how to manage when things go badly
• Learn about 5 easy things you can do when crisis hits
• Develop new attitudes and approaches to difficult times
• Walk away with an emotional toolkit you can draw from and use immediately for your wellbeing.

This will be an experiential session so if possible wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
