Another fascinating talk at the Ladies' Forum - this time our speaker was Robert Batt. Robert holds a Masters Degree in Addiction Psychology and is founder and chairman of 'The Recovery Centre' www.therecoverycentre.com Success and wealth can sometimes have unwelcome outcomes in the family environment, especially for the younger generation, and Robert shared some experiences and insights into his work with troubled people.

An important thought for very wealthy families is that self worth not net worth is what matters. Robert believes in positive psychology, and one of the tools for this is a daily gratitude list - we all wrote our list for the day - which encourages positive thinking. Another tool he uses for people who are feeling very down about life is to go out into the street and help someone - maybe a tourist who needs directions - and then recognise how much better it makes them feel for putting someone else first. The question and answer session was very lively and everyone was keen to learn more about Robert's experience.
