26 June: WellToDo Summit
New Fetter Lane, London
£26 for evening networking/ £100+ for event
The global wellness industry has grown double the speed of the economy, according to the Global Wellness Institute. And WellToDo is a catalyst for growth, offering news, insights, events, consulting and career services for companies of all sizes. Their annual WellToDo Summit is a half day (and into the evening) mega session of advice and networking for those who wish to grow their businesses. Featured speakers include Camilla Barnard of Rude Health, Chiari Quadranti of Fiit, Hamith Grierson of Thriva, and Michael Atkinson of investors Inverleith LLP. 20 June: National Freelancers Day: Are you charging enough?
Exploring the dilemma of pricing work that springs from your natural gifts
Black Ivy, Edinburgh
£10 via Eventbrite
Self-employed creatives lost out on more than £5,000 of income for giving away work in hopes of gaining exposure and 20% of freelancers say giving away work for free is a standard practice, according to research. Is it because we undervalue our work or feel guilty charging money for our natural and intuitive gifts or our work isn’t recognised or respected by clients? We’ll hear from panelists on their journeys from uncertainty to confidence and how they navigated setting boundaries,
building trust and making a living as one’s own boss. Moderator Liza Horan (MindstreamConnect) leads a panel discussion with storyworld creator Claire Colston (Fairy Worldwide), artist Rose Strang (Rose Strang Artworks) and spiritual coach David Thomas Wright. This event is part of the IPSE’s National Freelancer Day, and is presented by MindstreamConnect.com, covering mind-body-spirit pathways to wellness.

Upcoming coverage on MindstreamConnect
Two days of inspiring speakers on mind-body-spirit topics — and an active marketplace — that are bound to catalyse your 2019 lifestyle goals. The line-up of speakers features local heroes and international gurus, including best-selling book authors Julie Montagu (yoga, super foods), Haemin Sunim (Buddhist monk), and BBC1’s Dr. Rangan Chatterjee. Particularly interesting speakers promise to be rapper, singer and actor Professor Green on “What Makes a Man;” Emma Dempsey and Rachaele Hambleton on “Helping Our Girls to Flourish”; and Catherine Gray and Sharoo Izadi on addiction. If getting more sleep is a resolution, The Sleep Consultancy also will be in the house.
