Workplace Wellbeing and Managing Shift-Work

Workplace Wellbeing and Managing Shift-Work
Workplace Wellbeing and Managing Shift-Work
Numerous research has shown shift workers are prone to various chronic health complaints including gastrointestinal complaints, obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, mental health disorders, depleted immune systems – to name a few.  This stems largely from ongoing sleep deprivation and disruption to the sleep/wake cycle, along with subsequent misalignment of biological circadian rhythms which often induces fatigue, leading to poor dietary and lifestyle habits.
In this webinar, Audra Starkey will explore:
-    Why sleep prioritization is critical for anyone working 24/7
-    Strategies to support the parasympathetic nervous system to encourage better sleep
-    The influence of chrononutrition in the management of shift work wellness
-    Shift work nutrition – eating to support more energy, better digestive health and weight regulation

Dealing with Imposter Syndrome
If you are completely honest with yourself, do you believe your failings are all your own fault, but your successes are pure good luck or a fluke? Are you forever wondering when the ‘fraud police’ are going to come and expose you for being a phony? Would you believe you aren’t alone? If you have ever felt like you didn’t belong somewhere or that your colleagues, friends, and associates are going to discover you are a phony and fraud and that you really don’t deserve the success, then you are not alone. These feelings are referred to as ‘imposter phenomenon’ or ‘imposter syndrome’ and it is estimated that at some point in life, around 70% of people will experience these feelings. Imposter syndrome affects a wide range of people from all aspects of life and this webinar will take a deeper look into the causes, symptoms, and ways you can deal with it.
