Topics, sessions and talks
Are your people tired, stressed out and lacking the motivation to do something about it? Are You tired of running well-being sessions that don’t lead to lasting change? How much could you add to your bottom line if you could reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, and have a more engaged team? In this keynote, Dr Heather McKee empowers your employees to take their health and happiness into their own hands and make the changes you care about as a company, and they care about as a person last.
This keynote, led by Dr Heather McKee, is designed to launch or enhance an internal health and well-being program. In a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty, routines and habits are more crucial than ever. Yet, many feel they lack the time, energy, and motivation for positive change. If your team struggles to prioritise eating well, exercising, or mental health amidst busy schedules, this session is essential. Attendees will gain a critical plan of action to protect and nurture their well-being, ensuring lasting positive change.
Dr Heather McKee, a behaviour change specialist, will lead a workshop on reclaiming time, preventing burnout, and achieving what truly matters. Many of us struggle to balance home, kids, and work, often feeling depleted and unable to focus on our priorities. Despite our best intentions, we end up working late to catch up. In this session, Heather will teach attendees how to prioritise their time, identify and manage obstacles, and create supportive environments. Participants will develop habits to reclaim their time and prevent burnout. By the end, they will have a clear roadmap to maximise their time effectively.
We often extend compassion to others but neglect ourselves. Research shows that self-compassion enhances our ability to achieve work, health, and life goals, and to serve others better. In Dr Heather McKee's workshop, participants will explore the science behind compassion as a foundational element of success. They will learn how external compassion and shielding themselves from negative influences can be beneficial. The workshop will also address the impact of critical self-talk on productivity and happiness, and how to counteract it. Attendees will discover ways to incorporate joy and kindness into their daily routines. By the end, they will have a personalised compassion habit blueprint for lasting improvement.
Dr Heather McKee emphasises the necessity of adopting effective learning habits in a rapidly changing work environment. With 40% of skills projected to change by 2030, employees must transition from reactive learning to proactive growth. Utilising her Sticky Habits methodology, Heather provides practical, science-backed tools to help individuals integrate continuous learning into their daily routines. Attendees will learn to build lasting habits, prioritise small actions over grand plans, and align their learning with essential business skills.
Heather brings over a decade of academic expertise in lifestyle behaviour change, offering your team research-driven methods to foster lasting, healthy habits. Her work, celebrated in top publications and with leading companies, ensures your team will learn from Europe's foremost specialist in creating joy and freedom in health. Booking Heather means empowering your team to shift from burnout to engagement, with actionable insights grounded in behavioural science.
