The latest mind body research gives us profound insights into the effects on mental health of 'physical' factors, including breathwork and time in Nature, new ways to improve mental and physical health, and more… -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This wide-ranging day will deepen your knowledge of the mind-body system and the impact ‘physical factors’ can have on our emotions, state of mind and memory – with additional ways to help people quickly and effectively… -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Accredited CPD: 6 hours * Length: 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A brilliant framework to understand the neurobiology of our needs and how to > manage stress > > DR ALLY JAFFEE, NHS DOCTOR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Having a deeper understanding of the latest research into the effects on mental health of ‘physical’ factors – such as movement and exercise, time in Nature, ‘breathwork’ and real-time connection with others – enables us to tailor powerful therapeutic interventions and deliver more informed psycho-education. This jam-packed day also covers the physiology of responses such as ‘freeze, fight or flight’, the effects of physical activity on emotional, mental, memory and brain health, why stress can become chronic, the many ways we can activate our innate capacity to restore calm through our breath and attention, why these relaxation techniques work and what they do for us physically. The findings you will explore on the workshop have implications for many areas of mental health, even addiction, and give us additional ways to help people resolve many difficulties quickly and effectively, as well as improve overall health. The HG approach recognises that meeting our emotional needs and using our resources well are key to good mental health – yet the impact of ‘physical’ factors on our emotions and state of mind can be just as profound. Even though our physical needs may appear obvious – a healthy diet, regular physical exercise etc – we know that most of the chronic diseases sweeping through the Western World are linked to “lifestyle”, indicating that many people are not actually meeting their physical needs in healthy balanced ways – despite the vast array of information available to them. Finding clarity about how best to meet our own physical needs can also help us maintain our capacity to help others. Throughout the day, Dr Andrew Morrice, a practising GP, draws on both the latest research and his decades of experience managing the complex combination of mental and physical health problems in General Practice (20 of those years using the Human Givens model). We will sift the sense from the nonsense, and see the fundamentals behind the buzzwords and trends, making it easier to think clearly about our own health as well as that of our patients or clients… > Really insightful course with an amazing way into practical applications of > the HG concepts... > > ALIYA DRAKE, HG THERAPIST WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * How the now well-known human ‘needs and resources’ relate to our evolutionary past, and physical lives * The many ways physical movement affects the functioning of the mind and our emotions * A deeper look into the physiology of emotional responses, such as ‘fight, flight, freeze’ and their impact on health * Greater knowledge of the fundamentals of how we can find calm – and the very many ways these can be used to help people * New information from the latest mind/body research that has implications for therapeutic lifestyle changes ALSO COVERED: * What is ‘health’?

Trade barriers are going up across the globe. And cybercrime is on the increase. The link between the two? The value of trade secrets. As countries become increasingly protectionist as regards international trade, so their IP law has been changing, with the result that companies that previously would have sought protection through patents are opting to go down the trade secret route instead. But is this a high-risk strategy? Technology is changing and this is having an impact on forms of commercial co-operation. Collaborative or open forms of innovation by their very nature involve the sharing of intellectual property (IP), and in many instances this IP is in the form of valuable confidential business information (ie, trade secrets). Little surprise, then, that trade secrets disputes have increased accordingly. At the same time, the changes in technology make trade secrets more vulnerable to attack, misappropriation, theft. So just how effective are the legal protections for trade secrets? How can organisations safeguard the value in their IP (increasingly, the single biggest line in their balance sheets)? This programme is designed to help you address these issues. Note: this is an indicative agenda, to be used as a starting point for a conversation between client and consultant, depending on the organisation's specific situation and requirements. This session is designed to give you a deeper understanding of: * Emerging trends in trade secrets protection and exploitation * The current situation in key jurisdictions * Recent case law * How leading companies are responding * The importance of trade secret metadata * Different external stakeholders and their interests * Key steps for effective protection of trade secrets Note: this is an indicative agenda, to be used as a starting point for a conversation between client and consultant, depending on the organisation's specific situation and requirements. 1 WHAT ARE TRADE SECRETS? * Definitions * Examples * Comparison with other forms of IP (patents, confidential information, know-how, copyright) 2 CURRENT TRENDS * The various changes taking place affecting trade secrets - legal changes, trade wars, cybercrime, technology, commercial practice * The current position in the UK, Europe, USA, China, Japan, Russia * Corporate best practice 3 TRADE SECRET DISPUTES - HOW TO AVOID THEM * Trade secret policies, processes and systems * Administrative, legal and technical protection mechanisms * The role of employees * The sharing of trade secrets with others 4 TRADE SECRET DISPUTES - HOW TO MANAGE THEM * Causes * Anatomy of a trade secret court case * 'Reasonable particularity' 5 RELATED ISSUES * Insurance * Tax authorities and investigations * Investor relations 6 TRADE SECRET ASSET MANAGEMENT ROADMAP * Maturity ladder * First steps * Pilot projects
