Investing this time proved to be effective with (add results/feedback?)

Company-Wide Webinar – Developed and delivered a tailored, firm-wide webinar specifically addressing the unique challenges faced within the legal profession. The session brought employees together virtually, creating an inclusive space to discuss important topics related to mental health. Packed with practical advice and actionable strategies, the webinar empowered attendees to build a supportive workplace culture and was rated 5/5 by participants.

Senior Leadership Workshop – Facilitated a bespoke workshop for the firm’s senior leadership team, emphasising the critical role of leaders in shaping conversations and priorities around mental health and wellbeing. This interactive session explored how leadership behaviours and strategies can create a ripple effect throughout the organisation, setting the tone for openness, support and proactive engagement with mental health challenges. Leaders left the workshop equipped with tools to embed wellbeing into team dynamics and broader organisational strategies.

Director of People

I really liked how much time we spent on going through having difficult conversations. Having the time to role play it in a safe environment was also incredibly helpful.

It was highly informative, interactive and I have learnt a lot. Truly a brilliant session.

I loved the practicality to the session and the constant approach of involving us as part of your presentation rather than us just being the audience.

Dervla’s presentation skills were fantastic and she adapted her approach and style based on how we interacted as a group - I particularly enjoyed her parts of the session. The workbook and flip chart enabled interaction which I found engaging. I loved the opportunities we had to discuss things as a group.

Extremely interactive and brought so many great ideas together from all offices from London to Belfast.
