She goes to the doctor, just to make sure. He waits until the heart attack. She confides in all her friends, he tells no-one. She asks people for health advice, he looks it up on the internet. When it comes to the psychology of health, men and women are on different planets. This seminar takes an entertaining and practical look at: how men and women think differently about health and their bodies, how gender differences in attitudes to health affect relationships, for better or for worse and what men can do to support women to be healthy and vice versa.How Slowing Down and Stopping can help you Get Ahead (S, W)

Working women know better than most that they need high-levels of wellbeing to fulfil on their work-life goals and commitments.
