Developing Meaningfulness Within the Team
Living a purposeful and meaningful life is considered essential for optimising human potential. However, we often go from one day to another without having the time and space to really consider what’s important for our own sense of meaningfulness at work. In this webinar, Dr Luke Fletcher from Aston University will spend some time reflecting on what is meant by having a sense of meaning and purpose at work, why it is important, and what we can do to help facilitate meaningfulness within our workplaces.

The Science Behind Sleep and Dreaming
Some of us remember regular, vivid dreams, whilst others vow they never dream of a thing. Dr. Caroline Horton will discuss the science underpinning dreaming, by explaining what happens to our mind and brain while we are asleep. We will also consider how dreams help us to process our experiences and emotions, reminding us that sleep is crucial for our mental health and cognitive function.
