The Business Case for Mental Health in 2024
In 2024, organisations and individuals worldwide are pressured to “do more with less”, due to the multitude of mounting challenges.
How should organisations respond to ensure business continuity? How does employee mental health play a part in an organisation’s business strategy?
Breaking the cycle of generational trauma
Generational trauma happens when parents pass their trauma to their children, affecting multiple generations emotionally. If these family patterns aren't changed, they continue to persist.
Coping with change and uncertainty
Change is the only constant. As we take our stride into this post-pandemic world, we are witnessing changes in our lives once again. Travel, social gatherings and return to the office are back in full force. However, we are also experiencing layoffs and rising costs. Amidst all these uncertainties, it’s easy to feel like we’ve lost our sense of control and direction.
How to be kinder to yourself at work
Often, we are our worst critics. When we feel frustrated or anxious, we talk to ourselves more harshly than we would to anyone else. We wrongly assume that self-criticism will motivate us to do better. And if we dare say “I did my best”, we’re just shaming ourselves.
How to change your mindset to improve financial well-being
Money can buy happiness – but only if we’ve defined happiness for ourselves. Understanding what we value in life and why/how we value them helps our financial well-being: for when we have our 'why', the 'how' falls into place. This panel will explore how financial literacy goes beyond accumulating wealth, and why emotions are inherently linked to how we use our money.
Change your self-talk, change your life
The stories we tell ourselves have a tendency to shape our lives. But what if we could change the trajectory of our lives by reframing our core narratives about ourselves?
In this panel, we will learn the importance of self-talk, how to shed outdated beliefs about ourselves, and why it's never too late to change your life.
Unpacking mental health myths
"People with mental health conditions are unable to perform professionally. Therapy is for people whose lives are falling apart. Struggling with mental health issues means you are weak."
Despite increased mental health awareness, such statements remain all too common. How can we foster a culture of deeper mental health literacy? And why should such literacy be a company's imperative?
How to make sleep your superpower
We know how important good sleep is for our health. Yet, four out of every five people suffer from sleep problems at least once a week. This session discusses the science of sleep and strategies we can learn to become more successful sleepers.
How to practice self-care
Living through the pandemic has taught us to engage more thoughtfully in our own care to help us live well. Yet, many find it difficult to consistently prioritise self-care. Join us for a discussion on the importance of self-care, why we struggle to practice it, and learn tips to restore your day-to-day energy reserves and live your best life.
How to lead with compassion
Over the past two years, leaders have taken on a big emotional burden: helping teams recover from the grief of the pandemic, supporting the declining mental health of their employees, and being sensitive to people’s anxieties. In this talk, we'll explore how practising compassion enables leaders to advocate for their teams, humanise the workplace, and lead organisations more effectively.
How to thrive under pressure
We’ve all heard the quote that “Diamonds are created under pressure”. In the workplace, pressure is a given but how much is too much? What happens when it gets too overwhelming? How do you strike a healthy balance and thrive rather than sink?
Unpacking the "Overachieving Asian"
‘Asians are so hardworking’, ‘Asian parents are super strict’, ‘Asian kids are always top of the class’ - These stereotypes are known everywhere in the world, thanks to the reverberating success of Asians on the global stage.
