Episode 10: Finding your balance in covid times and beyond - with Laura Capell-Abra, Stress Matters

In this episode I get to chat stress and well-being with my partner in crime Laura Capell-Abra. We work together on various projects and programmes and met through a shared background and love for the events industry. Laura wears many hats as you’ll hear in this chat…she is a business and career coach, NLP Practitioner, Mental Health First Aid Instructor and Visiting Lecturer. Laura set up the creative-industry coaching company, No More Ifs Or Buts and workplace wellbeing company, Stress Matters to support businesses and their people to feel better and work smarter. Previously running marketing events agency, Sledge Ltd, Laura is well-versed in the pressures senior management teams deal with. I’m most excited by Laura’s work around mental health for employees and how businesses can create thriving cultures for people, especially now. In this episode we explore: - Why the events industry needs to talk about stress now more than ever with the industry being hit hard - How depression and anxiety in adults is on the rise and how we can change our attitude towards mental health - How businesses are embracing a new version of well-being – its not just about online pilates and stress management training - How the pandemic has impacted how businesses function- and what leaders are doing (or not!) to cope - How wellbeing in 2021 must be strategic and no longer a nice to do - Laura's take on balance , why she has created her new, improved version - Balance 2.0 and how it can work for you!
