Herlarious - Virtual Reality: Creating Calm out of Chaos

Hosted by Funny Women founder and CEO, Lynne Parker, this session will feature two micro-workshops and some brilliantly funny entertainment.

The first few weeks of lockdown are best described as chaotic. Some aspects of our lives are still being fuelled by chaos as the world rallies against the pandemic. The impact this is having on society will change our lives forever. In the midst of all this, we crave normality, new or otherwise, in order to continue working and running our businesses. We need to find calm to be creative.

This event is designed to give you a sense of perspective about the world we find ourselves in and what we can, and can’t, do about it. There are no right or wrong answers and chaos emits from indecision so we will be discussing how we can ‘go with the flow’ and proceed calmly and creatively.

Wellbeing is paramount for personal and business survival so Funny Women and WEConnect International have partnered to create this online social forum to help you express yourself, keep focused and plan ahead with a few essential endorphin and morale-boosting laughs along the way.

Press mute when you need to scream
In these curious times we’re expected to be ready to go in an instant - Zoom calls and constant emails mean everyone has us at their fingertips, all the time. Beyond making sure you wear trousers for video calls and pressing mute when you need to scream, what’s the best way to cope with new pressures and demands? In her corporate role, Jo is often called upon to present high-profile events to a demanding international audience; now she’s dealing with delivering those while keeping up with her day-to-day work, a child who needs to be at least mildly educated and a cat who loves to get in on video conferences. She’s gathered some tips to help you be your best, even when the dog is eating your desk or your child is smearing jam on your ankles.
