Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP

Yesterday, we hosted over 150 clients at the Calgary Petroleum Club for an open conversation on women’s health. We were talking about it. You were talking about it. We wanted to talk about it together. We explored how sleep, brain health, stress, and muscle health affect energy, focus, and long-term performance, and how to separate lasting habits from wellness trends. The conversation was expertly moderated by Robyn Bews, Chief Business Development Officer, who guided the discussion and asked the questions we all wanted to ask. Alicia Quesnel, Managing Partner of BD&P and President of the Calgary Petroleum Club, offered an honest and insightful introduction to the event, while Susan Fader, Partner & Co-lead of our Litigation Group, MCed with humor and wit. Thank you to our fantastic panelists for sharing both expertise and lived experience: • Dr. Karen MacNeill MacNeill @dr.karenmac • Dr. Dilpriya K. Mangat @wellnesswithdrmangat @nexcerebrum • Kristi Stuart @yourinnerwellth • Kathy Tissington @vitalityyyc We believe in sharing knowledge. Sharing the kind of advice that could have saved a lot of late-night group texts or 2am google searches.
