How To Use Your Time To Your Advantage
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.
The Power Of Self-Compassion To Ignite Change
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.
