‘What makes you happy can also make you sick’, reads the title of Professor Mark Deuze’s new book Well-Being and Creative Careers. It is a dilemma that entrepreneurs in the humanities in particular struggle with. Driven by ambition and passion, many find it difficult to set boundaries and manage their time. In this workshop, led by two psychologists, we will create a space for collective reflection on a range of work-related mental health challenges.

Following a psychoeducation session, you will explore a variety of tools and strategies that you can apply in your own working life. The programme is designed to help entrepreneurs and freelancers prevent burnout arising from a lack of daily structure and the pressure of an income that depends on how much they work. Many founders struggle with prioritising and time management, and this workshop aims to support them in addressing these issues.
