Is it possible to be successful and happy? In the high-pressure environment of LSE, it can be easy to think that professional ambition and competitiveness come before our own wellbeing. Indeed, with many graduates going into the worlds of Finance, Law, and Professional Services, long hours and little free time can seem a necessary price to pay for success.
But what if there’s another way? Freedom of Mind LSE: Success brings together representatives from some of England’s most prolific graduate recruiters, alongside LSE Careers and Mental Health First Aid UK to ask how we can balance wellbeing and ambition. Balancing a mix of professional, institutional, and educational experiences, our panel aims to break down the myth that to succeed means to sacrifice your welfare.
