Dads in Law Online Conference: Strategies for Maximising Work and Family Balance
2021-11-18 09:30 - 13:00 | Online
DESCRIPTION

In recognition of International Men’s Day, The Legal Training Consultancy is partnering up with Parent & Professional to run a half-day conference to help law practitioners improve the balance between their role as a father and the demands on their time from their profession.

Booking Page
Why are we doing this?
Nearly 70% of lawyers believe they work in the most stressful profession, with an astounding 80% blaming workload as the key source of their stress. We are hearing first-hand about how dads in the legal profession value a healthy work/family balance much more than they did in pre-Covid times; more and more dads are prioritising their health and wellbeing and family time – but they equally want to maintain a fulfilling career and financial stability. At Parent and Professional we absolutely believe this balance is possible – but how? This conference aims to hear from experts in their field as well as working dads in the law – how do they do it?
Who this is for?
All working dads in the legal profession: perhaps you have had a difficult experience during your journey as a working dad; or perhaps you are just coping with the day-to-day demands of juggling the roles of parent and professional.
HR/D&I/L&D/Family Network Leads – those who want to hear about the latest challenges for working dads and consider ways to help support them.
What’s in the half day conference?
We’re bringing together wellbeing and performance coaching experts to offer dads working in the legal profession a morning of the latest research, tips and advice to balance their career with all stages of parenthood.
Timetable:
09:30 – Chairman’s opening remarks Ian Dinwiddy, Dads Coach, Parent & Professional Ltd
09:40 – Opening address by Mark Brooks OBE, Ambassador for International Men’s Day

10:30 – Making it work in practice: panel event dads in law firms Sidley Austin, Taylor Vinters and Pinsent Masons (from Associates to Partners) will discuss their personal challenges and experiences of combining a career in the law with their role as a father
11:35 – Second session ‘The Elephant in the Room: Fatherhood, Work, Life and Wellbeing in the Legal Profession’ with Professor Richard Collier FAcSS FRSA Newcastle Law School
11.55 – Third session ‘Developing strategies to achieve your version of work life balance” with Ian Dinwiddy
12.25 – What’s needed now to support working dads? Actions moving forward which will make a difference at an individual and organisational level. Helen Letchfield, Co-founder of Parent & Professional Ltd, in discussion with experts in law firms:
Mary Peterson, Head of Talent and Learning, Addleshaw Goddard LLP
Kate Fergusson, Head of Responsible Business at Pinsent Masons
12:50 – Questions and concluding remarks
1:00 – Conference ends
What will I take away?

Strategies for maximising the work/life balance/avoiding the problems and pitfalls
Managing dads effectively/maximising dads’ wellbeing and professional performance
What’s special about dads?
Coping mechanisms
Avoiding applying the “this is the way we did it in my day” approach
How to implement change at a personal and possible organisational level

Price:
The price for this is £225 + VAT. This is a per organisation price, so up to 19 of your colleagues can participate at no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time. So, of course, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £22.50.

After retiring from football, Clarke moved in to broadcasting, working on several documentaries, and authoring a book.

Insurance Institute of Manchester: 'In Conversation with Tom Chapman'

Talking about depression

In celebration of International Men’s Day, award-winning barber, author, public speaker and international educator, Tom Chapman is hosting a Q&A talk. Sharing his own experiences of mental health, Tom will be talking about how we can all look after not only our own mental health but also others, how to look out for signs of depression amongst the people we love and how we can begin to open up and have these difficult conversations.
By attending this event delegates will be able to identify:

Recognise signs of depression
How to have a conversation about depression
Where to get help from for those that need it

https://www.localinstitutes.cii.co.uk/manchester/home/events/2021/miindful/international-men-s-day-in-conversation-with-tom-chapman/
Speaker
In September 2015, Tom Chapman founded the Lions Barber Collective, which started as a group of international barbers raising awareness about suicide prevention and mental wellbeing. With Tom being the driving force behind it, it’s developed to become much more. They have created a bespoke BarberTalk training to teach Barbers to how to RECOGNISE, ASK, LISTEN and HELP people that may be struggling in order to save lives.
Tom is on a mission to put a spotlight on mental health, specifically men’s mental health and create non-judgemental safe spaces where people can feel comfortable to open up and speak about their mental health and to be able to signpost them to support and help.

Fatherhood and Mental Health - Frog Systems event
2021-11-19 12:00 - 13:00 | Online
We are marking International Men’s Day with a discussion about the impact that fatherhood can have on men’s mental health.

About this event

We are marking International Men’s Day today with a discussion about the impact that fatherhood can have on men’s mental health. We will explore the pressures that men face at home and in the workplace before and after becoming fathers. The fact that men are often sidelined because there is more interest in the mother, they are suddenly expected to know exactly how to parent and be a great dad, they feel pressure to earn more to support their family financially, and traditionally they’ve been seen as weak if they say they can’t cope.
We will be joined by three dads who are advocates for men’s positive mental health and a society in which all parents are given help and support.
Mark Williams is an international campaigner, has co-written reports for government and a book Daddy Blues (the film of which is being premiered tonight) and coaches health professionals on how to provide better the ante-natal and post-natal support for men.
Jamie Cooke is a father of three who juggles fatherhood with running the Royal Society of Arts in Scotland and is a global campaigner for a fairer, more inclusive society. He did a degree in primary education and is heavily involved in supporting community projects.
Kieron Achara, a former Olympic basketball player and dad of two. He’s a busy broadcaster who has become a firm advocate for men’s mental health awareness. He is also a consultant with us at Frog Systems focusing on delivering mental health and wellbeing platforms in sport
