Prevent Burnout, Boost Retention and Protect Your Own Time and Energy
A one-day conference for leaders in high-stress, high-stakes industries like health and social care, senior healthcare professionals, wellbeing leads, workforce development and retention leads, coaches, trainers and mentors who:
- Feel responsible for the wellbeing of staff in their organisation and want to retain their best people.
- Are frustrated with one-size-fits-all, and time-consuming wellbeing interventions which don't work in an overstretched system, with a neurodiverse workforce
- Want to explore a new approach to supporting their teams, and get some practical tools to improve wellbeing, without it being just one more thing on their to-do list.

Work Well Live is brought to you by Wild Monday - an organisation dedicated to helping professionals in high stakes jobs like healthcare beat burnout and work happier (even on a Monday morning, in a highly stressed system).
We’re fed up of ineffective and expensive wellbeing initiatives which make no difference, or even make things worse.
Drawing on our own frontline experience, and almost a decade of experience working with thousands of healthcare staff around the country, we believe we’re in a unique position to take a bird's eye view of what’s out there, what works, and what doesn't, in the real world - for an overwhelmed and stressed workforce with no time or headspace.
Our conference is curated and hosted by Dr Rachel Morris, Founder of Wild Monday, Former GP, Keynote Speaker and host of the Apple Top 100 UK Business Chart Podcast You Are Not A Frog, and Dr Sarah Coope, Mediator and Executive Coach, Former GP, and Head of Training at Wild Monday.
Together, they bring insights from
- 260+ episodes of the You Are Not A Frog podcast,
- Hundreds of interviews with experts in resilience, time management, career crafting, burnout and the challenges of working in healthcare.
- 20+ years of working as doctors on the frontline in the NHS, and 9+ years of leading resilience and wellbeing training with thousands of doctors and other health and social care professionals both online, live and face to face for Primary Care Training Hubs, NHS Acute Trusts, ICSs, NHS England / Health Education England, Community Health Trusts, Mental Health Trusts and Doctors in Training.
Rachel and Sarah will share their learnings from the last few years, present the models and concepts they have found make the MOST difference to people.
And they're inviting YOU to share your own thoughts and experiences and be part of the ongoing conversation about resilience, wellbeing and everything that helps people to work well.
At our one-day conference, we're going to be thinking about:
How to change your approach to leading for retention & wellbeing, without rescuing, burning out yourself or losing your best people.
How to set boundaries to manage your energy and protect your time so that you can enjoy work, have a sense of balance and be effective – and support others to do the same.
How to retain your workforce when you can’t change the system.

Our speakers and sessions

"THE TROUBLE WITH WELLBEING: WHY ARE OUR WELLBEING INITIATIVES FAILING OUR WORKFORCE AND WHAT SHOULD WE DO INSTEAD?"
Dr Rachel Morris is a former GP who now helps doctors and other professionals in high stress, high stakes jobs beat burnout and work happier. Rachel is the host of the Apple Top 100 UK Business Chart podcast ‘You Are Not a Frog’ and creator of the Shapes Toolkit Resilience Training Programme.

Rachel knows what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and one crisis away from not coping. She believes that you don’t need to dramatically change careers to thrive in your 9-5 (or 8-8) but by thinking differently, you can make deliberate choices to feel calmer, get some time and headspace and love what you do again.
