Mental health and you.

May 22, 2019

I have watched the programmes screened over the past few weeks,discussing mental health and am amazed by the difference well-known people are making: shining a light on mental illness and diminishing its power. Like most troublesome issues, mental illness thrives in the darkness where it likes to gain control and change how we live.

Will you start drinking again in January? At the beginning of the year so many of us go on a health initiative. Whether it is joining a gym, doing the couch to 5k, or giving up alcohol.

The pressure…

More importantly, they may soldier on regardless without regard to the danger of burn out, the result can be an expectation that their staff will do the same. Albert Einstein is quoted as saying: ‘I was raised to treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO’ If leaders led with this mindset, they would invite respect,…

It has been with interest that I have examined the statistics from my latest blogs. All about mental health in the workplace, these blogs may have challenged the reader with regard to an authentic response. So I have checked out how many have commented or liked them against the number of people who have read them. The question is what does it tell us? As an executive coach I spend many hours with senior leaders, business owners, managers and entrepreneurs. They…
