“We need deadlines, especially in our industry. When we know that there's a date, it gives us something to work towards. It means that we know that there's a line in the sand and there's an end point. And I think when a lot of people can find it really, really hard is when they just don't know when it's going to end.”
In this edition of M&IT Talks we talk to Laura Capell-Abra, founder of Stress Matters, in the wake of International Stress Awareness Week (ISAW). We wanted to know: how corrosive is the Covid-19 uncertainty in our industry to our mental health? What can we learn from awareness campaigns such as ISAW? And what's the best way for event professionals to approach the upcoming Christmas season?
