In addition, Beth is a research MD for the European Space Agency (ESA) and has overwintered in Antarctica at the spaceflight analog Concordia. Her research focuses on studying the effects of isolation and extreme environments on the crew's physiology and psychology.
Drawing from her personal experiences and research, Beth can provide valuable advice and coping strategies to help reduce anxiety during governmental lockdowns and self-isolation. As the world slowly grapples with never-seen-before problems and isolation, ensuring that your team is prepared to enter the new normal is crucial.
By booking a PepTalk with Beth, you can support your team's mental and physical health, helping them navigate the challenges ahead.
Topics, Sessions And Talks
From her work in the polar regions, Beth has witnessed first-hand the effects of climate change. From time working in a local Inuit village hospital she has seen how hunters have had to adapt their hunting styles to chaining migration patterns of local animals their way of life. Following repeated visits to the same areas she has seen retreating glaciers and climates becoming increasingly unstable. She has also experienced more frequent encounters with polar bears as they take greater risks in search of food. In this talk Beth will share what she has witnessed, explore the impact of COVID-19 on climate change, and discuss developments in science and technology that will shape the future of sustainable living.
The effects of self-isolation are taking their toll on our physical and mental health as we adapt to a new normal in how we live, interact and work. Having overwintered in Antarctica, where she researched the physiological and psychological effects of isolation on the overwinter crew, Dr Beth Healey has first-hand experience on coping with isolation and how to overcome the difficulties it presents. Her research has since been used to help inform space agencies of the challenges that future astronauts on long duration spaceflight missions may face, as well as develop medical models required for such missions. In this talk Beth draws on her experience and research into isolation, to share advice and coping strategies for use during the pandemic, and to help us thrive in self-isolation.
Having worked across a range of areas, Beth feels passionately about sharing ideas and technological advancements between industries. She is currently part of a working group looking to see how we can use space technology to improve healthcare on earth, specifically developing healthcare systems where remote access to both specialists, diagnostics and training is transforming healthcare provision worldwide. Her research into the effects of isolation and extreme environment physiology in Antarctica has also been used to help inform space agencies of the challenges future astronauts may face on long duration spaceflight missions. In this talk Beth will explore how a fresh perspective and improved sharing of both ideas and failures can promote success across all industries.
This talk delves into the concept of creating maximum performance rather than settling for good performance. It explores how high-performance teams are designed to transcend the limits of what is possible, enabling them to reach market-leading and employee potential.
