HOW TO BUST YOUR BUSYNESS
Being a leader today is not easy, expectations grow, and resources can be constrained, stepping off the constant merry go round is hard. Our ability to deliver on these expectations is limited, as our responsibilities increase over time the impact can be negative to varying degrees on ourselves, our families and our colleagues.
Being ‘busy’ has become a glorified term defining our worth, we can wear the ‘busy’ badge with pride to demonstrate or reinforce our importance and value, not realising that we are on our way to burning out without intervention. There is one thing for certain, each day consists of 24 hours and how we spend this time is our choice.
In this presentation, Gillian defines burnout and identifies practical ways to increase self- awareness and strategies that can be implemented to make a positive change towards being more present, connected and calm.

Creating Meaningful Connection
We all seek to be seen, heard, and understood, in fact the most undesirable behaviours we witness could all be linked back to one of these not being achieved. Connection to ourselves, others and our purpose create the mindset for us all to be present, authentic, and brave.
As leaders’ connection with our teams, colleagues and employees is the foundation to which we inspire, encourage, and motivate. Not prioritising the need for meaningful connection can create a culture that doesn’t feel safe to challenge, learn, grow, and innovate.
In this presentation, Gillian digs deeper into what meaningful connection looks & feels like, how our organisation’s emotional culture is, as important, as its cognitive culture and how creating a safe work environment will increase connection, engagement, and innovation.
