Tip of the Day: 05.06.2019

Do you tend to power through your lunch hour, never leaving your desk? Take a leaf out of our friend Liz Earle’s book. ‘Try walking meetings,’ she suggests. ‘Natural daylight and fresh air increase our sense of wellbeing, happiness and ability to focus, so be sure to get outside in your lunch break – or even rope in colleagues and set up walking meetings or a lunchtime running club. Our offices are a stone’s throw from a park and I encourage the team to have walking meetings there whenever possible. We find two or three people is the optimum number for this and it is a great way of focusing the mind on what needs to be achieved on a 30-minute walk with quick notes scribbled down on a pad as you go, or a swift park bench stop.’
