Pressing Pause talk
Talk: Pressing Pause
Why life can feel like a race and how to slow down when we haven’t got time to.
A one hour talk aimed at employees, to enhance your wellbeing agenda.
Overview
Long working hours, information overload and a high-speed culture. Modern life is full-on and professional workers have become used to managing packed daily schedules and juggling the constant demands of home and work. Slowing down can feel at best a rare luxury and at worst, impossible. Why does slowing down matter? Why do we find it so hard to do? And how can we get better at doing it?
In this interactive session, Helen draws on the work of behavioural, organisational and psychological experts to explain why we are wired to ‘do’ rather than ‘be’. She explains:
- The cultural and social factors that influence us
- How slowing down can help us be more effective (and happier) in our work and home lives
- How understanding our needs, motivations and personality preferences can help us to ‘press pause’
- 6 ways to switch into ‘being’ mode more regularly.
