Reset, reframe, recharge

As part of the Your life at work strand, we're offering training aimed at sharing workplace best practice as well as how you and your teams can stay healthy, happy, and productive at work. 

Hybrid working was adopted by necessity during the pandemic. Now it’s here to stay, there is an opportunity to fine tune working surroundings in the office and at home to maximise focus, energy productivity and manage stress.

This interactive workshop will reveal the science and tips around enhancing concentration, the truth behind multi-tasking, plus exercises and techniques to boost cognitive skills for focus and decision making. Explored through the lens of the current challenging climate and hybrid trends such as Zoom fatigue. Stress is unavoidable, but cumulative stress is not.

Includes practical strategies, mindfulness and breathing techniques to manage stress before it becomes overwhelming and impacts daily life.  

Who it's for

Anyone working in unscripted TV who is hybrid working and would like to boost their focus, energy and productivity.
