Apr 10, 2023
by Dr Ruth Allan | Released Mon 10 Apr 23
Dr. Sara Whedon has combined her years of experience with working with patients, her love for co-creating new strategies forward and her experience being raised with a parent in corporate to help organisations help employee's with brain optimisation
Dr. Sara believes you shouldn't have to wait until you are retired to live a fulfilled and expansive life. Contrary to popular belief, she believes we can individualise wellness in organisations without an unrealistic budget and says the results are far more reaching that what was previously anticipated
In this episode we talk about the brain in the context of performance in the workplace. We discuss the importance of taking a human centric approach as well as the shift that has taken place since the pandemic
We talk about the importance of setting time boundaries and understanding your performance needs, as well as the role of humour in the workplace and the real challenge of addressing neurodiversity
And Dr. Sara shares her inspiring story as we dive into the Five Pillars of Brain Health that contextualises the importance of environment and connection beyond the spoken word
