Don\u2019t work faster – recharge and recover between event demands to lift performance and prevent burnout<\/b><\/p>\n

High performance usually isn\u2019t the problem. Most business event professionals can perform at a high level for a period of time. The real challenge is sustaining it – without burnout, cognitive overload or sacrificing wellbeing in the process.<\/p>\n

This practical, science-based session explores how event professionals can protect their energy, focus and capacity by working with the brain and body more intelligently – rather than simply pushing harder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants will explore three evidence-based principles for sustainable high performance:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take a Whole-Person Approach to Performance<\/b>
    <\/span>Explore the 4-Dimensional Wellbeing Model – mental, emotional, physical and internal wellbeing – and complete a practical wellbeing and energy audit to identify where to recharge first.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Balance Energy Output with Recovery<\/b>
    <\/span>Work with the brain’s natural rhythms by building recovery and recharge between demands.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Activate Calm – Not Just Stress<\/b>
    <\/span>Reduce chronic activation and create more moments of calm, clarity and regulation throughout the day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
     <\/div>\n

    You will leave with a practical understanding of how to sustain high performance by protecting their energy, improving focus and recovery, and building simple habits that support long-term wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Kristy von Minden is an accredited Mindfulness teacher with a special interest in the Neuroscience of wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>

    An experienced facilitator and keynote speaker, Kristy is invited regularly to speak at large industry events where she advocates for human sustainability and gets us thinking about new ways to understand and look after our mental wellbeing. She also works with some of New Zealand\u2019s biggest businesses, including ASB, Sony, Yellow, HSBC, Callaghan Innovation, William Buck and more, supporting them with their wellness programmes to reduce stress in order to enhance health, happiness, and performance.<\/span><\/p>

    But she hasn’t always worked in the wellness industry – after 15 years working in marketing and PR, managing a large team and working with some of the world\u2019s largest brands, Kristy saw first-hand the negative impact the long hours, relentless rush and constant connectedness had on herself, as she suffered years of chronic pain and anxiety. She also witnessed the health of her most highly motivated, intelligent and capable team members suffer. Through her evidence-based work, Kristy now seeks to help us redefine our thinking around what it means to be truly successful in the modern business world. Her message, ‘Looking after our wellbeing and excelling in our job, do not need to be mutually exclusive. In fact, the science is undisputed: what’s good for people is good for business”.<\/span><\/p>

    Kristy holds a Bachelor of Communications Degree, numerous Mindfulness Teacher Training Accreditations through Ovio and has completed the Berkley University the Science of Happiness certification.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
