14 March @ 12pm - 1.00pm
Overview
We are delighted to have the incredible Kristy Von Minden share a virtual presentation on mental health & resilience, the science of stress in the context of 21st century living, the pandemic and the current climate of constant change and uncertainty. With grateful thanks to Celebrity Speakers.
Kristy will investigate where stress comes from and what’s happening when we are in the stress response, and how stress is wearing down our health, energy and performance. In this workshop we will explore why stress itself is not the problem and what we can instead shift our focus to, to rewire our own brains for calm and resilience. All with a self-led wellbeing practice that only takes a few minutes a day.
In this online workshop we:
• Explore the fascinating science of stress + the mind-body connection
• Identify your own personal triggers for your stress and the relaxation response
• Discover why stress is not the problem and how we can shift our focus to the relaxation response to rewire our brain
• Look at the well-proven mental, emotional and physical benefits of cultivating a daily, self-led wellbeing practice
• Learn 5 x simple, fast, science-based relaxation tools for busy people to switch on the relaxation response and switch off the stress
Grateful for Celebrity Speakers hosting this event free for our members.
Your presenter..
An experienced facilitator and keynote speaker, Kristy is invited regularly to speak at large industry events where she advocates for human sustainability and gets us thinking about new ways to understand and look after our mental wellbeing. She also works with some of New Zealand’s biggest businesses, including ASB, Sony, Yellow, HSBC, Callaghan Innovation, William Buck and more, supporting them with their wellness programmes to reduce stress in order to enhance health, happiness, and performance.
But she hasn’t always worked in the wellness industry – after 15 years working in marketing and PR, managing a large team and working with some of the world’s largest brands, Kristy saw first-hand the negative impact the long hours, relentless rush and constant connectedness had on herself, as she suffered years of chronic pain and anxiety. She also witnessed the health of her most highly motivated, intelligent and capable team members suffer. Through her evidence-based work, Kristy now seeks to help us redefine our thinking around what it means to succeed in the modern business world. Her message, ‘Looking after our wellbeing and excelling in our job, do not need to be mutually exclusive. In fact, the science is undisputed: what’s good for people is good for business”.
Kristy holds a Bachelor of Communications Degree, numerous Mindfulness Teacher Training Accreditations through Ovio and has completed the Berkley University the Science of Happiness certification.
