WISH North East Event: Permission to Pause - Making Time for You This January

Dear Network,

We’re delighted to invite you to our January event: Permission to Pause – Making Time for You This January

As we begin a new year, this event provides an opportunity to reflect on your career ambitions while also taking time to pause, recharge, and consider your wellbeing and work-life balance.

We’ll be joined by three inspiring speakers who will share their personal journeys, insights, and practical advice:

Laura Wood – Founder of Invisible Creations, sharing her career journey and the lessons she has learned along the way.

Suzanne Lindsey Holt – Development Coach and advocate for retaining mums in construction, discussing the realities and pressures of balancing a career in construction with family life.

Rebecca Cairney – Commercial Marketing Manager at P+HS and owner of Modern Yoga. Rebecca will share her own career story and offer practical tips on incorporating wellbeing into everyday life.

Whether you're looking to reset your goals, gain inspiration from others, or simply take some much-needed time for yourself, this event is the perfect opportunity to give yourself Permission to Pause.


The WISH North East Board looks forward to welcoming you in January.

Best wishes,
WISH North East
