We kicked off our 2025 series of Wellness Hours with a brilliant talk on burnout prevention from Clare Kenny, from PVL. Clare spoke about the importance of identifying symptoms of burnout, how to reduce the risk of burnout, and the practical measures we can take to look after our own well-being. Our Wellness Hour programme plays a key role in our mission to foster a supportive culture that prioritises health and wellbeing. Thank you Clare and everyone who joined us for the talk!
The XPS Disability and Neurodiversity Network would like to thank Ted Talk speaker and Paralympian, Wendy Smith PLY, for her inspirational and thought-provoking talk today, held in honour of UK Disability History Month. Wendy spoke about the importance of resilience, flexibility (or "a different way of doing things") and treating every interaction as unique, with a unique "map of reality". It would be impossible to be unaffected by Wendy's enthusiasm, energy and "unstoppable" personality. "I love your attitude of "why not?". Just because it hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean it can't be! ", commented Kim Crown, XPS Learning and Development Specialist, after the talk.
