SPECIAL GUEST: Genevieve Hawkins
If your audience hasn’t got their heads in the sand, they’re aware of how much the developed world is talking about mental health. Whether it be discussions on the rates of mental ill health or the latest ‘thing to do’ to cope with the anxieties and challenges in an ever-changing world.
Rapid changes in the world are impacting our collective mental health, and as a leader, they need to get ahead of the curve if they don’t want to leave performance on the table. They have to get under the skin of how mental health is connected to the way they lead, their team’s mental health AND the performance of the business.
Real Estate Agents shout ‘Location, Location, Location’, this book shouts ‘Connection, Connection, Connection.’ This book is about understanding the science behind why connection matters and the practical strategies to build your own mental health, the mental health of the team and the strength of connection that delivers results.
Mentally at Work: Optimising Health and Business Performance, by author Genevieve Hawkins, is written by a senior manager for senior managers. It pushes away the jargon and ‘fluff’ to give valuable insights into why leaders can’t afford to ignore the tsunami hitting the developed world. The audience’s own health, their business performance and their future leadership impact depend upon it!
GENEVIEVE HAWKINS
From the start of her career as an Occupational Therapist, Genevieve Hawkins has had a passion for understanding and influencing the psychology of how people not just cope but thrive under pressure. This passion led her to further study in and exploration of how leaders, teams and cultures perform and has seen Genevieve shift from the health system to consulting to the corporate world.
Genevieve is now a senior executive with extensive experience in leading major change programs in large organizations and is cognizant of typically seeing things from a different perspective given her mix of experiences and qualifications. What she felt was missing in the market was practical, relatable and scalable guidance for senior leaders linking the trifecta of their own mental health, with the mental health of their team and the organization’s performance.
In an ever-changing, complex world, how we lead has become an increasingly critical skill. Genevieve hopes that this book can guide leaders to lead in a sustainable way for them, their teams and their businesses, so that we may collectively reverse the trend on mental illness in the developed world..
