Speakers: Lisa Ardley-Price and Ian Rodwell

In a world that is frenetic, volatile and uncertain, how can we retain focus and serenity while remaining efficient and productive? It’s a question that Lisa Ardley-Price, in-house lawyer, coach, fitness trainer and yoga teacher, marathon runner and well-being practitioner, is incredibly well-placed to answer. With practical tips on everything from box breathing and building networks to why listening while walking is the new superpower,  we talk about the importance of self-care and regulation – and why, like Alice in Wonderland, it pays to try all the doors that lie before us!
