# [WA YWP Professional Development 2025](https://www.awa.asn.au/upcoming-events/wa-ywp-professional-development-2025)

REGISTRATION HAS NOW CLOSED. At this YWP professional development event your skills will be enhanced learning about "The Trust Factor: Building Teams That Think, Speak, and Thrive Together" and "Human First: A mindful workshop on stress, connection & how you cope".  

In addition to meeting other WA young professionals our facilitators will cover two very important topics to assist you in the workplace. 

| **Session facilitated by Astron Consulting** **"The Trust Factor: Building Teams That Think, Speak, and Thrive Together"** In today’s fast-paced and high-pressure work environments, teams don’t fail because of a lack of talent or intelligence—they fail when trust erodes, psychological safety disappears, and mindsets narrow. In this dynamic 75-minute interactive session, we’ll explore the human foundations of high-performance teams. Participants will reflect, engage, and walk away with practical tools to build trust, create safer spaces, and unlock mindsets that enable growth, collaboration, and resilience.  |

|   **Session facilitated by Beyond All Bounds ** **"Human First: A mindful workshop on stress, connection & how you cope" ** This is a human-centric, experiential workshop that blends storytelling, discussion, humour, engaging learning of practical skills and knowledge, and guided practices. To cater to the night's theme, 'Share & Connect', the workshop will include structured frameworks for conversations for attendees to authentically self-express and reflect on how to deploy the workshop takeaways directly into their personal and professional lives. Topics include understanding and diving deep into stress, self-care, nervous system regulation, coping strategies and introspection. |
