Amazed at year-end at how easy it was, I had to do very little as Finance Officer- my job was essentially redundant!

Top Tips To Help You Build Resilience And Achieve A Balanced Life

by 
Emma Goldring
· Updated
Apr 7, 2021

Are you happy with your work-life balance? Think about it… how do you spend your time in a typical week?

As a Local Council Clerk you may find that your work and personal life have collided as a result of the pandemic.

Not only has the work-life balance been misaligned during the pandemic, but our ability to cope with uncertainty and change has been tested...

This pandemic has put us all into a real state of uncertainty that has led to us having to make lots of changes. Then once we stabilise for a while, it starts all over again because the next wave of changes hits us! This could be new government guidelines or the kids go back to school.  It’s like a never-ending cycle of uncertainty, adaptation and stabilisation. 

The good news is that there are ways in which you can take control of how you want your life to be.

Imagine how much more productive and happy your work could be with a little help in the form of some expert tips. Now is the perfect time to take charge of our lives, even if it means starting small!

The wonderful Helen Lawson from Wellbeing Training Solutions took part in our Scribefest 2020 series to explain ways in which we can help build resilience and achieve a healthy work-life balance. 

If you are going to watch any video today, we really recommend you watch this one. It could be life-changing!
