Lifestyle and Self-Care is an engaging session focused on the transformative power of healthy habits and the growing evidence based on the impact of physical activity, nutrition, social connections, sleep, and stress management on mental health and wellbeing. The participants are encouraged to use the session to develop their unique lifestyle plan. In addition, the session includes a mindfulness-guided meditation session and practical information and tips needed to make changes that optimize wellness. The session is led by Dr Mihaela Bucur and Dr Sarmila Sinha.

Harris1:1 coaching sessions
There will be opportunities for 1:1 speed coaching at IC, building on our pilot wellbeing initiative at IC 2019. Participants reported benefits from exploring issues ranging from career progression, work-life balance and creative aspirations in a safe, confidential 1:1 session. The coach will guide the discussion to explore options, barriers to progress and develop an action plan.
In order to make the most of this we ask participants to identify prior to the session an issue, dilemma or difficult decision they wish to address. The 15 minute sessions will be held over the lunch period and will be booked in advance (more information will be available shortly).
