Find joy, calm and opportunity while navigating the messiness of change

After this session, you’ll be able to pause in the middle of life’s messy change, find calm in the chaos, and even spot joy and fresh opportunities hidden inside it. So change feels less like something to survive and more like something to thrive in.

Using the 5 steps of navigating change we’ll explore how we have a better relationship with change.

At this session you will learn to:

 

# Feel calmer and more grounded — learn how to steady yourself when change feels overwhelming.

# Shift your perspective — discover how to see possibility and opportunity in the mess of change, not just problems.

# Reconnect with joy — find small sparks of lightness and play that make navigating change easier and more energising.

 

This will be an interactive session providing an example framework for you to take away and play with.

 

 

Prep required: 

No prep required.

This session is for anyone who is currently navigating change in life or at work, and for curious minds who want to do change better.

Meet your session leader: Dr Giselle Goodwin. Author ‘Can Women Really Have It All?’

My area of expertise is women, work and wellbeing. I am a Gex X mother to two teenage girls. I grew up in Canada in the 1980s but have lived in the UK for the last 30 years – hence the peculiar mid-Atlantic accent!

 

My first degree was in pharmacy and I was a business owner for 20 years: I owned a recruitment company and an online pharmacy and sold both those businesses in 2018.

 

I then went back to university and gained a PhD in 2022 on the subject of women, work and wellbeing.

 

I now speak on this subject and my aim is to connect with communities of likeminded women to improve both work and well-being for the generations which follow us.

Meet your session leader: Nick Whitnell (Daring Works)

I was born into a hippy household so my values and beliefs were based on love and equality. But when my mum died suddenly when I was 17, I was left on my own, not knowing what to do.

So I looked for security and that came in following the traditional career path. I was ‘successful’, climbed the corporate ladder quickly and became a vision of external achievement – big salary, fast cars and nice houses. But inside, I was miserable and had drifted from the organismic ‘me’. So I burnt out.

And that was the breakthrough I needed. I could see that I was ready to do the work to become who I was always meant to be. And that led me to many years of deep, inner work of healing, re-connection and nurturing my self compassion.

So I’ve now trained as a regenerative business consultant, soulful coach and B Corp leader. I help people and businesses to build new systems of success that harmonise people, planet and profit in a way that taps into the intuitive wisdom I was given by my mum.

My journey from corporate to soulful demonstrates that life gets better when we integrate the profit and loss with the peace and love!

Perfectionism and People Pleasing

Many of us are constantly striving for perfection or feeling the need to please others, both at work and in our personal  lives.

These tendencies can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from the life we truly want to lead.

This workshop will introduce you to the psychological processes that underlie these common behaviours and introduce you to some practical techniques that will help you to navigate challenge and change more flexibly and effectively.

At this session you will learn to:

 

#  Understand what perfectionism and people pleasing have in common and why many of us have a tendency towards both

#  Reflect on where perfectionism and people pleasing show up in your life – when do these behaviours work for well for you, and when do they work against what you truly want?

#  Explore the concept of ‘psychological flexibility’ – a set of skills that will help you navigate situations where perfectionism and people pleasing might not be giving you the outcomes you want

#  Work together to reflect on where your newfound understanding and practical skills could be incorporated into specific areas of your life

 

Prep required: 

Isabelle will provide refelective questions that will take up to 30 minutes.

This session is ideal for anyone who sometimes struggles with unhealthy perfectionism and/or people pleasing and would like to learn some practical skills to help you work through these behaviours, this is the session for you!
