Starting strong: Critical wellbeing skills for career success

13 May 2026 12:00 - 13:00
As a young professional in today’s fast-paced, high-performance workplace, you are often expected to deliver more, adapt quickly, and stay constantly “on” — all while navigating rapid change, high expectations, and the internal pressure to succeed. But this should not come at the expense of your wellbeing. In fact, developing the skills to manage stress, protect your mental wellbeing, and perform sustainably is essential for long-term career growth and success.
Please join us for a very practical virtual learning session, hosted by the Thriving From The Start Network, designed specifically for young professionals who want to manage stress more effectively, protect their mental wellbeing, and build sustainable high performance at work.
You will hear expert insights and practical tools from Professor Roz Shafran on managing workplace stress; gain tips from workplace mental health expert, Farimah Darbyshire on how to approach and speak with line managers and HR if you are feeling overwhelmed; and learn from other young professionals who have successfully navigated high-pressure career transitions. This is a solutions-focused session centred on real skills you can use immediately.
The Thriving From The Start Network is a free mental health network, run by young professionals for young professionals, and overseen by MindForward Alliance.
