May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Leadership is hard to quantify because it is both an emotion and a verb. Sometimes our leadership actions spur emotional responses, while at other times, our emotions activate a leadership action. Emotion and action are intertwined... 'None of us can be fully effective in leadership activities unless we have done deep inner work, unless we have gone down and in and embraced our shadow... if executives do not know what it is deep within that drives them, they continue their anger-based, fear-based, approval-based, or insecurity-based practices of leadership. The impact on others, and on the organization, is costly'- Russ Moxley #HappyWednesday #Leadershipjourney #CoachingInsights

As leaders, our commitment to addressing men's mental health has never been more crucial. Here's a powerful snippet from an interview with Steve Whittle, Founder of Tough To Talk, and Julio Taylor, the inspiring CEO of Hallam. Their insights are invaluable in guiding us in breaking the silence and effectively supporting our teams. Picture an iceberg: the tip represents suicide, but beneath the surface lies a vast expanse of silent struggles—biological factors, identity challenges, and life events. Breaking this silence is essential to prevent these tragic outcomes. By fostering open communication about the right issues, we can create a culture where men feel safe to discuss what's going on beneath the surface. Let's take collective action to make a difference.

As leaders, it’s our responsibility to lead by example, creating an environment where well-being is a priority. By showing that it’s okay to take breaks, ask for help, or discuss mental health, we encourage our teams to do the same. Let's foster a culture where mental health matters just as much as deadlines. When we take care of ourselves, we can show up as our best selves – both professionally and personally. #WorldMentalHealthDay #Leadership #WorkplaceWellness #LeadByExample #MentalHealthMatters #MindfulLeadership
