The COVID pandemic has changed our daily routines, and it is crucial that we stay focus and productive while we remain in lockdown. Remote work is a new way of working for many people, and it can get hard. Today we are joined by Dr Sarah-Jane Cullinane to speak about what thing we can do to overcome the challenges that come with the lockdown.

Dr Cullinane works in the Trinity Business School and has ten years’ experience in teaching and researching the areas of HR, Organisational Behaviour, and well-being at work. She has a PhD in Organisational Behaviour focusing on well-being and job design, and a diploma in teaching mindfulness-based Interventions. She brought her passions together and established her own business, The Place to be, in 2018 to complement her academic work by helping organisations build a culture which fosters and promotes well-being. Sarah-Jane believes that leaders drive well-being in the organisation and act as role models for healthy behaviour, which is why most of her current work involves developing and researching mindfulness-based leadership development programmes which allow leaders to build resilience by developing self-insight and strategies for self-care.
