KERRY WHITE As part of Construction Safety Month 2023 PJ Hegarty invited Workplace Health & Wellbeing Coach Kerry White to projects Apple, Eli Lilly and Kilkenny Cheese. Kerry spoke about resilience and mental health during her practical talk, enabling participants to apply a few effective tools and insights to help them re-set their nervous system to a calmer, less stressed state. We did this with breathwork, self-acupressure, and some transformative self-reflective coaching questions and insights. Kerry also candidly spoke about post traumatic growth and how experiencing a traumatic event can have a transformational role in personality among certain individuals. We know through experience that our challenges are an invitation to grow, to develop new skills to not only cope with adversity, but to thrive.
