ACT Diary 2020 - my reflections

Season 3 Episode 36

It's a cup a soup this week. In this 10 minute episode you can hear me reflect on how I've used the ACT Diary over a turbulent year. 2020 has certainly delivered for us all on both the uncertainty and anxiety fronts. I've found the diary particularly useful in ensuring that I attend to my own self-care in a whole host of contexts.

I'm looking forward to having the 2021 Diary by my side next year. Helping me check in on my values, track my progress and think how I want to show up.

You can order the diary direct from the publishers here www.pavpub.com/mental-health/well-being/act-diary and you should be able to get it from your regular bookshop too!

and one other student!

You can grab one of two tickets to the UK-ROI ACBS Online Conference on 16 & 17 November - sponsored by People Soup - nourishing the mind, flourishing at work.

The 4th UK and Republic of Ireland ACBS ACT and Contextual Behavioural Science (CBS) Online Conference is coming up very soon on the 16th and 17th of November. Conferences are a place to rapidly learn and update yourself on the cutting edge research and practice within the ACT and CBS world. For those of us who work (or aspire to work in supporting people in the workplace) it's a rich, multidisciplinary source of inspiration. 

However, given the current climate, it is not easy to access funding to attend conferences, especially for students and recent graduates. As such (and inspired by Contextual Consulting) People Soup will be sponsoring two free places for students and recent graduates of disciplines that involve supporting people in the workplace using ACT and Contextual Behavioural Science (worth £115 each). This will be both to attend the live conference online and receive full access to the recording of the sessions for viewing afterwards.

The conference has an exciting array of speakers presenting on a variety of topics. You can find out about the conference  and read the full programme here:

The programme includes three fabulous workshops and I was lucky enough to interview each of the presenters on the People Soup Podcast.

• Rikke Kjelgaard – Creative Hopelessness
• Ray Owen – ACT for Long-term Health Conditions
• Jim Lemon – Introduction to the ACT Matrix

Who is eligible?

• Any student or or recent graduate of organisational/occupational psychology, coaching psychology or sports psychology who has a keen interest in ACT and Contextual Behavioural Science in the workplace. 

How do I enter?

Please email me with 'Conference Sponsorship' in the subject line and include:

• Your brief CV - maximum one page. Give me the highlights without using a tiny font or disappearing margins!
• A statement (maximum 100 words) on the topic - "Why I'd love to attend the ACBS UKROI Conference."

To ross.peoplesoup@gmail.com by midnight on Tuesday 10 November. Winners will be announced on Wednesday 11 November.

After the conference, each winner will be invited to join me on the People Soup Podcast to share their insights and highlights.
