About this Event
Self-employment can significantly impact your wellbeing in various ways, both positively and negatively.
Being self-employed often offers more flexibility in terms of working hours and location, which can lead to better work-life balance and reduced stress, whilst being your own boss allows you to make decisions independently, giving you a sense of control over your work and career direction.
However, working alone without colleagues can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, impacting mental wellbeing and self-employment often comes with financial instability and irregular income, which can lead to stress and anxiety about the future.
By attending this free event delegates will learn to establish clear boundaries between work and personal life to prevent burnout and maintain balance, build a support network of fellow self-employed individuals, mentors, or industry groups to combat feelings of isolation and prioritize self-care activities such as exercise, relaxation, and hobbies to manage stress and promote mental wellbeing.
In addition delegates will also have the opportunity to register for 2 of 4 exciting wellbeing workshops taking place over the course of the day, including
- Mindset Matters - This session is packed with simple practical mindset strategies & techniques, that if put into practice, will help improve your personal wellbeing, as well as help you move forward with your business. Topics include positivity, resilience, motivation & focus.
