Dr Eleanor Gunn: The Top Five Regrets of the Dying & What You Can Do Now

Do you know what the top five regrets of the dying are? Wishing you had worked harder, surprisingly, isn’t on the list. Eleanor will discuss the importance of discovering one’s true purpose as a key step in the way to long-term fulfilment.

In this interactive session, she challenges you to consider your own personal history, how it has shaped your identity and values and show how understanding that can help you lead a more meaningful life. Living a life that aligns with your values can be hard when you may have concerns about the opinions of others. Aside from the value individuals take from understanding their purpose, or ‘why’, in the workplace, more engaged and self-aware employees are happier, more engaged, productive and creative in the workplace – if your company values are aligned with theirs.

Dr Eleanor Gunn

Clinical Psychologist, NHS & Emotionally Connected

Eleanor studied psychology as an undergraduate, partly in an attempt to make sense of herself and the world around her. It was an obvious step then to take a first job in PR for an insurance company upon graduation, but this role did not satisfy her desire to connect and work with people in a capacity that would lead to meaningful change. Following her doctoral training, she continued to work in the NHS in various roles alongside starting independent practice, developing specialist interests in perinatal mental health, trauma, ADHD, psychodynmaic therpaies and organisational functioning.

She started working with Emotionally Connected following the pandemic, where she now collaborates with Dr Suzanne Brown, with the company focusing on emotional fitness, to help individuals, companies and organisations including Tyler Grange, Cognizant, Game Logic, Abbott, Sunderland FC, Arsenal FC, the RFU and other high-performing organisations.
