Quiz: How good are your listening skills?
You spend half your life listening, but how much do you really hear? It’s a skill you can learn, which, when mastered, can elevate your personal and professional relationships to new heights…
FOCUS ON YOUR WELLBEING AND MENTAL HEALTH
Our mental health and wellbeing is something that requires careful, ongoing commitment, each and every day, and is intrinsically linked to our happiness, productivity, innovation, creativity and ability to connect with others, both in and outside work. Mental Health Awareness Week, celebrated here in the UK annually during May, along with other mental health-related awareness days, is an opportunity to more consciously tap into our mental health, acknowledge where we are and what steps we might need to take to nudge closer to optimal. We’ve curated some of the most popular content from the ‘wellbeing’ shelf of the everywomanNetwork to support this Mental Health Awareness Week and beyond.
Stay well, safe and happy.
