- **Event Description**: Fireside Chat with Dr Alison Metcalfe and Hannah Beko on Navigating the pressures of working, parenting & the mysteries of the teenage brainAbout this EventDo you sometimes feel as though you're winning at work but losing at the dinner table?For many working parents, the drive for personal achievement and family security has been an ongoing battle for many years.The delicate juggle navigated through the early childhood years gives way to the "gut-punch" of a teenager pulling away, leaving even the most capable of us, feeling helpless.Perhaps we've become experts at wearing "character armour" to project competence at work, but this same mask can act as a barrier to the authentic connection our children need during their most volatile years.Join us for an intimate fireside chat as Dr Alison Metcalfe, author of How to Connect with Your Teenager, and Hannah Beko, author of The Authentic Lawyer, explore the intersection of professional pressure and parental connection.This event is for all working professionals who want to understand the "why" behind teenage withdrawal and learn how to rebuild a relationship based on trust rather than management.During this session, Dr Metcalfe will dive deep into:• The Brain Under Construction: Understanding that your teen’s illogical choices and mood swings are a neurobiological response, not a choice.• The TRUCE Method: A practical framework for Trust, Resilience, Understanding, Connection, and Empathy to navigate the biological drive for independence.• The Power of Curiosity: Shifting from "problem-solving" to genuine curiosity to keep communication lines open.• Invisible Costs: Recognising how disconnection at home impacts your mental health and professional sustainability.Event Schedule (4th March)• 17:30 – 18:00: Arrival, Refreshments & Connection• 18:00 – 19:00: Fireside Chat: Dr Alison Metcalfe & Hannah Beko - Real-World Parenting in a High-Pressure World• 19:00 – 19:30: Closing Networking & Book Signing
