Wellness Webinar
2026-07-28 10:00 - 11:00 | Online
Why We Keep Doing Things That Don’t Truly Satisfy Us ? The Gap Between Achievement and Fulfilment in working life and beyond.
This talk explores why things don’t always change, even when we try to approach them differently. It draws on everyday experiences in work and relationships, offering a way of understanding patterns that repeat and don’t seem to shift.
Who it’s for
For people who notice themselves moving forward, whether in their professional life or beyond, yet still finding themselves in the same situations or patterns, encountering a sense of dissatisfaction that doesn’t quite shift.
What will be covered:
⦁ Why we repeat patterns that don’t lead to satisfaction
⦁ The gap between achievement and fulfilment
⦁ Why doing more doesn’t necessarily lead to feeling more satisfied
⦁ Why understanding something isn’t always enough for it to change
⦁ A different way of approaching and understanding patterns that don’t seem to shift
Whether you’re noticing similar patterns in your own life, or are simply curious about how change unfolds, this session offers a space to reflect on these questions and consider them from a different perspective.
