12:00 - 12:05 - Welcome & Introduction
12:05 - 12:25 - Bouncing Back and Building Forward - Fran Costello, Organisational Development Consultant | Psychotherapist | Coach
We all face moments that shake our confidence, drain our energy, or leave us questioning our strength. In this session, Fran invites you to explore resilience not just as the ability to bounce back, but as a powerful daily practice that helps you feel capable and well both personally and at work. You’ll uncover how to move through challenges with compassion, build the protective factors that support long-term wellbeing, and recognise that resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t, it’s something you can grow. By blending psychology, real-world insight, and practical tools, Fran will help you reconnect with your inner strength and discover how small shifts can transform the way you live, work, and care for yourself.
12:25 - 12:45 - From Burnout to Brilliance: Thriving in High-Pressure Professions - Annette Barnes, Counsellor & Transformational Coach
This session will explore how driven professionals can move from exhaustion and self-doubt to clarity, confidence, and sustainable success. Annette reveals how compassion, mindset, and small daily shifts can transform pressure into purpose. You will leave feeling empowered, calm, and equipped with strategies to protect their well-being while performing at their best.
12:45 - 13:05 - From Invisible to Influential: Mastering the Art of Personal Branding - Jannette Brimm, Personal Branding Consultant
We buy Brands every day from Primark to Prada. We get life-time connections with the brands we love and will pay premium prices just for some brands. Developing a personal brand delivers these same distinctions as it allows others to buy into you, helps you to position your career and affords you impact and influence. In this session Jannette delves into the superpower of building your own “Brand”. Undertaking a few simple strategic steps such as defining your unique you, sharing your story consistently or showing up authentically to attract opportunities. Building a brand helps you lean-into your skills and strengths, gives you career confidence, attracts opulent opportunities and shapes your growth goals and future finances.
