Location: Online
Email: [email protected]
Overview: Break the taboo by learning how to navigate this important time in life and work. Menopause most often affects women and AFAB folk at the peak of their careers, right when the most is at stake. It can affect mood, mental health, energy levels, decision-making and physical comfort, and therefore poses a massive risk to our relationships, emotional intelligence, business strategy and team culture.
The Hatchery has partnered with Dr Bec Jackson to give you the rundown on what to expect, how to survive, and also how to lead through perimenopause and menopause. She has a unique perspective as a Clinical Psychologist and Leadership Coach with her own strong lived experience living ‘through the change’. Join her and step out of the dark, arm yourself with knowledge and strategies to not only support, but to thrive and lead through menopause.
Dr Jackson has spent 20 years building her professional expertise across psychology, academia, therapy and education in clinical, forensic and organisational psychology roles. The last 10 years have focussed on the military, government leaders and private enterprise. Five years ago she founded The Jackson Company, a bespoke para-disciplinary consulting practice which combines her unique skills, experience and expertise. Dr Bec can speak with authority on the lived experience of perimenopause and managing its physical, emotional and psychological effects, all while leading a demanding professional and personal life.
