Choose your Hard: Compassionate Wellbeing Non-negotiables
Life presents new challenges every day, week, and year, and often, our wellbeing gets pushed to the bottom of our priority list. We all hear that we get to ‘choose our hard’ when it comes down to our health and wellbeing ‘be fit now to prevent injuries or health issues later’. But how do we set realistic wellbeing goals? How do we navigate the many health demands: physical, mental, emotional, financial, social; together with work and life demands? This can get overwhelming, intimidating and exhausting.
In this session, we will explore how to establish wellbeing “non-negotiables” and focus on taking small, sustainable steps with self-compassion. We will focus on:
- Identifying what matters most to you and recognizing that wellbeing is deeply personal
- What you see as challenges to prioritizing your wellbeing
- Creating customized wellbeing plans and sharing them with others for support and accountability

Revolutionising the way we look at careers
Helping you own and plan your career story
Research tells us that we typically spend 90,000 hours of your life at work. That’s over 10 years when you work it out concurrently, making it vital that we make the right career decisions.
Life, roles and skills requirements change so rapidly that the career plans can be outdated even before they are written. To meet these many changes we need to start to adapt our approach and focus from career planning to opportunity readiness! This workshop will explore where you want to take your careers to AND most importantly HOW can you be in the best shape possible to optimise on opportunities when they come your way.
At the end of the session you will walk away with clear insights, tools and next steps to build your opportunity readiness plan.

2. Money moves by ABN AMRO
Does your money work for you or do you work for your money? Most women think that finance and money is just “not their thing”. Or it seems to be something we can put off. Women live on average 3 years longer than men, work part-time more often and build up less pension so in fact we need more money! Women have long been lagging behind when it comes to financial education so now is the time to get serious about your finances. ABN AMRO organises a special session on how to strengthen your finances and make managing your money a priority. Join this workshop and get practical tips on how to start building your investment portfolio!
3. Improve your wellbeing in the workplace by Rituals
If we want to get more women in decision making roles, we need to focus on the wellbeing of women. This workshop will be about reducing women’s stress level, both at work & at home, and making them more rested and energized.
During this breakout session, Rituals will will offer you various tools for wellbeing. You are going to learn about the importance of sleep for your brain, the importance of relaxation and consequences of stress on your body & mental health, and we will teach you some breathing exercises for deep focus.
