Life Beyond Wellington Online Event: ‘Making Difficult Requests’ by Alan Palmer (M 73)
1:00pm-2:30pm
The Life Beyond Wellington programme is designed to include talks and webinars that are insightful and inspirational for you as you maybe make your transition into the working world, think about a career change or consider learning different skills.
We have all at some point in our careers heard the advice that “If you don’t ask, you don’t get”. Unhelpfully, this advice is rarely accompanied by complementary ideas on HOW you can make that difficult or ambitious request – for a promotion, a transfer, a pay-rise, a budget increase, a deadline extension – in a way which is comfortable for both parties and which will give you the best chance of the request being granted.
However legitimate the ask, if you don’t know how to make it in comfort and security, the danger is either that you will put off doing so, perhaps even indefinitely, or that you will go ahead anyway but worry about the risk to your reputation and your relationships.
In this fascinating 90 minute workshop Alan will give you ideas and a framework for making that request whilst minimising the risk of damage and maximising the chance of success.

Life Beyond Wellington Online Event: ‘Wellbeing and a Fulfilling Career’ by Chris Hardy (Bn 04)
1:00pm-2:30pm
The Life Beyond Wellington programme is designed to include talks and webinars that are insightful and inspirational for you as you maybe make your transition into the working world, think about a career change or consider learning different skills.
In this fascinating session Chris will share stories from his unusual career journey, the relevance of mental health to a satisfying career and practical strategies for wellbeing that you can begin to apply immediately. Chris started his career journey as a teacher, he soon realised teaching wasn’t for him and left for Ibiza where his interest of wellbeing and holistic health was sparked. He then went onto to start two businesses, one an award-winning social enterprise and the other a coaching practice that is still thriving today.
Our mental health is paramount. Think about it; what are we doing if not figuring out ways to live that have us feel good, satisfied and happy? Chris will share his own mental health story and how your own personal wellbeing links to a satisfying career. He will also talk through how we can all incorporate small rituals and practices that promote a sound foundation of mental health into your daily routines. As well as talking through practical strategies and the five foundations to good mental health.
