Tom Cleary, Wellbeing & Mental Health Trainer & Consultant
Tom will be delivering a talk on: The Rollercoaster of Self-Employment: Wellbeing & Avoiding Burnout
What is the impact of your wellbeing on your business?
In all careers, looking after ourselves and our teams is critical to business survival, let alone success. And this is even more the case when we have our own business.
But the world of wellbeing can be a bit of a minefield, and even when we decide to look after ourselves, something often gets in the way. And good intentions quickly become something on our To Do list which gets pushed further and further back.
During a successful career in education and leadership, Tom learnt the hard way what happens when we don’t look after ourselves properly. After recovering from a severe burnout, Tom has spent the last 6 years helping everyone from the Royal Navy to hundreds of self-employed business owners improve their mental health and wellbeing.
Join Tom to learn some simple, effective wellbeing strategies that can be applied in the real world. Ones which can have a significant effect on business success… along with a healthier, happier life.
