Organised by Fora
Fora Presents is our new curated events series for fresh initiatives and big ideas. Join some of the best minds, household names and industry experts as they share their knowledge and insights through a monthly series of exclusive talks.
Are you one of nearly 70% of professionals feeling overly stressed at work? Or one of the 50% experiencing work-related anxiety? If so, this hands-on workshop is for you. Join Liz Selman and Maurits Kalff from The School of Life to cut through the wellbeing noise and unlock valuable tools to boost your wellness in the workplace.
You’ll explore what it means to be well, discover what philosophy can teach us about everyday fulfilment, and how each of us can take practical steps to balance our emotional, social, physical and existential wellbeing.
This Workshop will help participants to:
- Explore wellbeing as a fluid concept and the ways this has changed over time.
- Recognise barriers and blockers to being well, including individual and organisational responsibility.
- Learn about the PERMA model of psychological wellbeing to better understand what we need to be well at work.
- Reflect on what being well looks like for us, and the triggers that cause us to be less well at work.
- Using the PERMA model as a guide, practise practical tools and strategies that promote enhanced wellbeing.
- Build habits that will encourage us to be more well at work, day-to-day.
