“I’m fine” a common response to a question of how are you ? When in fact we are not fine. We are all becoming more and more aware of mental health - the health of the mind as I prefer to call it. Why do I choose to call it that ? Simply because you feel claustrophobic by the use of word mental health perhaps of my story with my ex partner and what he experienced. In short as we focus on getting our body’s to remain fit and strong and take care of our nutrition, so too we need to with the mind. But what happens if we don’t see it or admit to ourselves that we are not ok? Reaching out of family, friends and nature is always a starting point. If you need more support then please always call the @samaritanscharity.
What’s also not often talked about is culturally how mental health issues are approached and if they are even discussed or still pushed under the carpet . Don’t feel you are alone.

Joze Piranian is an international speaker on #resilience and #diversity, and is a lifelong #stutterer.
In this week of #nationalstutteringawarenessweek2021 (US), I interview Joze (@yeswayjoze) who talks about the micro steps of facing your fears, using comedy to create a platform of acceptance and how we all have challenges. The question is how do we face those challenges will never be the same for everyone. It touches upon how we have disabilities or perceived disabilities as opposed to something that simply should be accepted as part of the person and how we get “boxed & labelled”. Can we change perceptions. President Joe Biden is a well known stutterer too, it was interesting to see during the elections how he was treated because of it and his age.
When listening to this #podcast I hope you find it as inspirational as I did. If you are on clubhouse you will already have heard aspects of his story. In this interview I develop deeper and ask different questions or made observations that got Joze thinking.
Enjoy this special episode of my #rethinkpodcast ‘In Conversation with’.

Delighted to annunce my certification in Company Direction awarded by The Institute of Directors .
Corporate Governance is at the heart of what I do and believe. The journey has continues. Anyone running a company/
Director should be aware of the thread that is corporate governance and how it is stitched into the fabric of the company purpose, mission and every action and decision the board takes .
Baby I’m certified ! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😁.

Empathy is such a key part to being a good leader. As people return to the office some employers are scared that people may not want to return or that they are losing staff because they have moved. Take a breath and be empathetic. We have all been through a period of emotional and mental upheaval and we are not returning to normal but navigating emotions, fears, anxiety and places.
Be empathic and lead from the front.

This was the photo eight years ago that made rethink the garment industry and fast fashion. Our responsibility as corporates and consumers, as policy makers and protectors of the Earth and people. There is so much in this photo that I see. What do you see ? Get involved in helping fast fashion change . The ones that pay tend to be women and girls.

In my latest @yorkshirepost article... #trust #authentic, #reviews, and #libel. Social media platforms allow people a chance to voice and review brands. With this platform will businesses change how they are viewed or are they open to “fake reviews”. Who is controlling the brand content?

#earthday all I ask is that we as individuals think about what we can all do to help our planet. If you are privileged to be in a position to make legislation, policy or hold a summit- negotiate and influence to ensure you are doing the most to protect out future generations.
.
If you are in business you already have a responsibility to be sustainable in every way. Stop asking what we should be doing and ask what if we can do .....

Weekend highlights - out and about for the first time. Felt strange and lovely, in the glorious sun despite the sadness of the weekend with Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral and Helen McCrory’s death. Life is for living as long as we stay safe and considerate.

Diversity is critical as it makes for better leadership and better governance, which results in better sustainability. Kodak thought that it knew digital disruption , but it failed to bring in new skills. The lack of diverse skills and thoughts allowed the board to make assumptions around themobile phone and how people were going to use the phone camera and what it meant for printed photos. One of their assumptions was that people would still want to print photos but simply do this at home. They invested in printers/cartridges and paper... they were wrong.
Disruption is around us constantly. For those who thought the pandemic was a black swan, they were wrong. It was predicted and nature warned us a few times.
Your next change is sustainability ESG. Get your governance in order. Plan the change now because when legalisation changes you will be prepared. Besides caring for People and the Planet 🌎 should be high on your agenda. It is for other businesses and consumers

Celebrate this amazing women. @af85 #allysonfelix is the most successful #athlete ever at the World Athletics Championships, winning 12 gold medals topping @usainbolt record of 11. #womentocelebrate
But I also love her because she used her voice and was an advocate for women in sports who become pregnant. She made @nike @nikewomen change their stance with women and their pay; but to her detriment where she had to break ties.

Spring indoors . It’s alway important to stop and unwind and recharge. To allow ourselves to think new thoughts and have a chance to reconnect with nature and others.

Irrespective of what your organisation does it needs to ‘ReThink’ its strategy in light of the changing global market, climate change and sustainability- particularly in terms of the Supply Chain. Most organisations strategies have been impacted by the pandemic and has brought global digitalisation forward by at least 3 years. Both sustainability and digitalisation should be central to your strategic plans- not along side. Are you Future Thinking Now? Where is your Blue Ocean?

I really enjoyed Series 4 of my ReThink Podcast on #mindset with Chloe Bruce (@chloedbruce), Sally Henderson (@sallychangementor), and Stephen Lamb (@lamby1664). Each person talking about different aspects that impact us personally and professionally. Chloe talked about being ground breaking in martial arts and film stunts. The focus and determination required with the mindset but also the support. Sally helps us look at ourselves from a professional aspect as CEO’s, and Stephen on how we have to activate the positives.

Let’s us always remember an extended arm to another can mean so much. Comfort, guidance or reassurance “your doing great”.
