Speaking Topics
Claire's Signature Keynote
How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You
The human nervous system was designed to cope with stress, but the persistent demands of modern life and work can grind us down, leaving us operating in one nervous system mode - survival. Learn the most up-to-date neuroscience of stress and why traditional self-care has failed you in the past, plus instant tools to change this.
Recognising Burnout
Recognise the signs of burnout, understand the stages and learn how to halt the progression into full-blown clinical burnout.
Tired but Wired! How to Unwind After Work
The neuroscience behind the struggle to ‘switch off’ plus instant tools for overriding the dopamine-crash and adrenalin-waves that keep us in ‘doing’ mode.
Protecting Frontline
Staff
This workshop outlines what trauma (including vicarious trauma) is, risk factors and the impact (ranging from PTSD, anxiety difficulties and burnout) and options of recovery.
All keynotes and workshops are tailored to your team, event, or organisational needs.
