Menopause and Mindset Masterclass new [Places] 09:30 - 11:00 CPMO: MS Teams

Looking after our wellbeing during menopause can be challenging; we are likely to be experiencing busy periods in our lives, managing fluctuating hormones and caring for other people around us too.

Having tools and approaches to help us understand and manage our mindset, in a way that is right for us, is a powerful tool.

This interactive session, delivered by Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace with Jo Lee-Morris, Head of Training and qualified coach and learning professional, offers time to reflect, understand and discover strategies for managing our mindset and practicing self-care that’s right for us as individuals, so that we can thrive during menopause.

Session Objectives:

  • Explore some of the mindset challenges we can experience during menopause
  • Discover where negative and intrusive thoughts come from and practical strategies to work with them
  • Think about what we can and can’t control and reflect on how to use this alleviate overwhelm
  • Explore and define the self-care that’s right for you
  • Share with others and gain useful ideas and insights from them
