Financial Stress & Mental Health
Financial strain is recognised as being one of the key stress factors for adults, and it can be a major risk factor for poor mental health. It is not uncommon for people to neglect their mental health, specifically when they are experiencing financial stress. This can lead to significant problems in the long term and even worsen the existing financial stress.
In this session, we will explore the relationship between financial stress and health - and attendees will leave with practical tools to help them combat financial stress, and stay well.

WEBINAR - 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATORS IN INSURANCE AND THE FINANCIAL SERVICES
Good negotiation skills are crucial to many different roles within the insurance and financial services sector, and though we may not always realise it, most of our day-to-day work centres around negotiations.

This is an interactive and fun session that introduces the key elements of a negotiation process, such as the following:
- qualities of a good negotiator
- planning a negotiation
- styles and strategies
- communication skills.

WINE AND CPD - MOVING BEYOND LABELS: WHAT WINE CAN TEACH US ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
MOVING BEYOND LABELS: WHAT WINE CAN TEACH US ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION!
There are many links between the world of wine and a good strategy for diversity and inclusion in the workplace and society as a whole. Wines and humans share the same basic structures but are unique in their own way. Like labelling in society, people tend to make judgements about wines based on labels but in fact wine tasting requires us to notice characteristics and to reflect on our experience and this is exactly the same strategy that helps to encourage diversity and inclusion.
By tasting 5 different wines from Spain and Portugal, we will learn how to move beyond labels and relate this to diversity and inclusion both in the workplace and society as a whole.

Men: It’s OK to Talk (and other ways to process difficult stuff)
Talking is good for us. We all know that and yet some of us find it hard to talk about how we feel, especially when we aren’t feeling good.
This session is aimed at men and those who would like to support the men in their lives. The aim of the session is to shine a light on why some men find it difficult to open up, to explore ways to support men when they are struggling and to share some alternative ways to process difficult stuff, for those who really don’t like talking.
In this interactive session, attendees will develop an understanding of some of the challenges facing men today and will take away some helpful ways to support men (or themselves) through difficult times.
