Boundaries Without Guilt: Saying yes to what matters by saying no well
Boundaries are not about being difficult or unhelpful. They are about protecting time, energy and clarity so we can work well and support others sustainably. This session explores why boundaries can feel hard, how they support wellbeing, and how to use simple language to manage expectations more confidently.
Each 30-minute online session will focus on one practical workplace wellbeing theme, with a relaxed mix of reflection, light interaction, surprising “Did You Know?” facts, and simple tools colleagues can use in everyday working life. The sessions are designed to be short enough to fit into a busy day, but meaningful enough to offer a genuine pause, a fresh perspective and one small action to take away.
These sessions are not about doing wellbeing perfectly, and they are definitely not about adding more to your to-do list. They are a chance to take 30 minutes for you, step back from the busyness of the day, and think about what might help you, your colleagues and your team work well.
Come as you are. Leave with one small thing.
Sessions will run monthly between October 2026 and June 2027 – sign up for one or sign up for them all. You’ll leave with one idea, one reflection and one practical action to help you build small recovery moments into your day.
Sessions will be delivered by Kevin Donovan, our Staff Wellbeing Manager. Kevin said:
"I’m really excited to launch Working Well at Strathclyde: Bite-Sized. The idea for this programme has come directly from the feedback and requests we received following this year’s World Wellbeing Week session, where colleagues told us they valued short, practical spaces to pause and reflect. Wellbeing is something we need to keep talking about all year round, not just during awareness weeks, and I’m particularly looking forward to helping colleagues leave each session with practical ideas they can use to support themselves, their teams and our wider Culture of Care at Strathclyde."
