This is a great event for anyone with an interest in, or with responsibility for the wellbeing of their staff team and attendees will have the opportunity to ‘ask the expert’ various aspects of the impact of wellbeing in the workplace.

We are also incredibly excited that Sally Gunnell will be our keynote speaker. Sally won the 1992 Olympic gold medal in the 400 metres hurdles. During a golden 24-month period between 1992 and 1994, Sally won every international event open to her, claiming Olympic Games, World Championship, European Championship, Commonwealth Games, Goodwill Games, IAAF World Cup and European Cup golds in the event, and breaking the British, European and World records in it!

Sally is also a supporter of Rockinghorse Children’s Charity and a wellbeing expert. Sally will share her insights and experiences in how wellbeing impacts performance at the event.

Sally said, “I’m thrilled to be supporting Rockinghorse Children’s Charity as keynote speaker for Wellbeing in The Workplace.  My mission is to provide companies with life-changing solutions, for life-changing health. I work in partnership with organisations to assess the overall health of their employees and then design and implement a program to address these issues.

In this way, I can help make real and lasting change in productivity and performance by sharing the lessons I have learned on the track and provide insights on ways to improve mental and physical resilience.”
