Men’s Mental Health

This talk explores why men and boys are struggling and how we can most effectively engage men so they can be the best versions of themselves. A common observation from learning/wellbeing teams is that men don’t seem to engage with their initiatives, but with the right foundations, men will engage and men do talk! Topics covered in this talk include; the challenges, stigmas and barriers men face in being vulnerable, how to redefine masculinity, fatherhood (from new dads, to dads who don’t live with their children and childless men), gender bias, toxic masculinity (and whether ‘toxic masculinity is a wall-builder or bridge builder as a phrase) the testosterone crisis, allyship and the power of men’s communities.

This talk answers the most common questions about burnout, including; What’s the difference between burnout and depression? Is it just a work thing? Is it a sign of weakness? Why are some people unwell with burnout, whilst others use the term lightly to express mild tiredness? What are the signs, symptoms and triggers of burnout? How do you prevent burnout in the workplace? How do you cope with burnout conditions when changing your employment is currently unworkable? How do you build resilient teams practically speaking? What are the things you can do for yourself, (beyond the obvious things) which really make a difference when facing long term adversity?

Imposter Syndrome
Whilst 70% of people reportedly struggle with imposter syndrome, some regard imposter syndrome as a positive thing: a mark of humility which keeps people on their toes. But others report feeling greatly debilitated. Most of us understand what Imposter Syndrome is (fear of exposure, sense of inadequacy and not deserving…
Whilst 70% of people reportedly struggle with imposter syndrome, some regard imposter syndrome as a positive thing: a mark of humility which keeps people on their toes. But others report feeling greatly debilitated. Most of us understand what Imposter Syndrome is (fear of exposure, sense of inadequacy and not deserving your accolades/achievements) but actually, there are two types of imposter syndrome and according to my own research, 85% of people struggle with one or the other. In this talk, we explore what imposter syndrome is, the two types and how they differ, the 10 most common causes, and crucially, strategies to help you tackle it. In the second half of the talk, we shift to unpacking negative feedback as a topic, and how to deal with it as the recipient, so that when you’re hit with negative feedback and there’s no sugar coating or silver lining, you’re equipped to deal with it effectively, and can deal more rationally with imposter syndrome as a result.

When over 3 million people in the UK are said to be extremely lonely and 8 million people in the UK are prescribed anti-depressants annually (the number rises each year) it’s clear that forming truly inclusive communities at work is vital for employers who wish to safeguard the wellbeing of their team, but how do you build inclusive communities when cliques are so common and yet so difficult to spot when you’re in them? People in cliques are not bad people they’re just busy people and quite possibly creatures of habit. In this talk we explore:
a) how to deliver practically on creating psychological safety and allyship at work,
b) how to identify and break down cliques,
c) the danger of stereotypes, tabloid thinking and labels,
d) the facets of a truly inclusive community. -
Mastery of time

Most of us already know that to get more done, we need to break our big goals down into small chunks, delegate out the things we don’t wish to do, drink more water, sleep a bit more, get up early and spend less time on screens (unless its a time management / project management app!) But for all we already know about managing our time, the average person checks their screen between 150-200 times per day, 2/3 of people in the UK identify as procrastinators and 60% of people in the UK say they’re running on empty! If you want to master your time, so you get more done, but without getting busier or burnt out, you need to master 4 key principles.
1) How to build an effective time planning system which is easy to use and which works with your personality.
2) Procrastination: what is it? what are the many common causes and many possible solutions?
3) Boundaries: how do you create them, communicate and adhere to them?
4) Delegation: how to delegate effectively so that the delegate task gets done on time and to the standard you want?
