- The single biggest factor that undermines our wellbeing – and how to overcome it.
- How to manage mental, physical, and emotional fatigue.
- Explore ‘Green Zone’ thinking based on the work of one of the world’s leading leadership gurus (and someone I’ve worked with).

- Why we struggle to switch off, and how to make sure we do.
- Why bad feelings can sometimes do you good.
`Resilience and compassion have been the buzz words for a few years now for Primary Care Staff; real virtues in the face of multiple challenges. Paul's talk was a virtuoso tour through the strategies and attitudes we health professionals require to be resilient and caring. We laughed, and we learned. It was truly excellent. Many thanks.``
