9:30-10AM | Thursday 27 May | Uncommon Instagram Live
Session Overview
We will start with sharing data and findings on how COVID-19 has shaped Consumer Wellness and what we can expect – what we can expect the new “normal” to be.
Linking this, Aly will speak a little about the highs and lows of his journey (which is not complete) and some of the tricks that he has adopted to manage the journey. A Q&A will then follow.
About Aly
Herbal Essentials founder Aly Rahimtoola is a global citizen with the perspective needed to lead a consumer goods company beyond its national borders. Aly was born in Pakistan and educated at Westminster School in London before graduating from Brown University in the United States. During a successful career in Shipping based in Dubai, Aly realized that more and more consumers were like him – yearning for brands that were genuinely authentic in everything they did but also high performance and affordable.
With these in mind, he founded Herbal Essentials, an award-winning skincare brand powered by pure Himalayan Spring Water which has been clinically proven to boost skin health. Herbal Essentials offers its customers affordable, clean, cruelty-free products that are made in France with minimum 90% natural origin content. The brand has launched in 13 global markets during the Pandemic and will launch with Superdrug in the UK this summer.

With Lucy Puttergill
6-6:30PM | Friday 28 May | Uncommon Instagram Live
Session Overview
Breathing is the only way that we can consciously control our autonomic nervous system, it has the power to calm us down, wake us up, pull us out of a funk, help us sleep better, feel better, manage emotion better and generally get better at this old thing called life. In this session, Lucy will give you a brief introduction into the magic of breathing properly but rather than just stick with the science, you’ll also dive into a few breath practices which you can use to give yourself an energy boost, help you sleep at night and help you get centred before that big pitch at work. The secret is all in the nose.
About Lucy
Lucy spent close to 10 years working in sales on the trading floor at two US investment banks but made the difficult decision back in 2020 to take a leap into the unknown and start over again which she wrote (and embarrassingly went viral) about here. Having secretly struggled with the pressures of juggling corporate life with a drive to find purpose, she spent a lot of time on her commutes diving into the world of self development, eastern philosophy and psychology in an effort to better manage her mind & find some sense of purpose. This journey led her to qualify as a yoga teacher back in 2019 whilst she was still working in finance and then subsequently as a Reiki practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, Ayurvedic consultant & coach. She is now working as a transformational coach, helping people transform their thinking, and in turn their lives, through deep guided self-reflection blended with bodywork, yoga & breath.

Everyone has the same fundamental six “human needs” or driving forces. However, each person places different levels of importance on them and finds a unique way to satisfy those needs.
By knowing what your number one human need is and how that shapes your behaviour, you are able to take control over your life’s direction and even learn how to create new patterns that unlock your hidden potential and lead you to lasting fulfilment. You will learn:
– What are the six human needs that drive our behaviour (why we do what we do).
– Which one of these needs is most important to you and how you are consciously or subconsciously trying to meet it.
– What are the negative and, most importantly, what are the positive ways of meeting your needs.
