Let’s Talk Mental Health with Steve Gamble from Man Overboard

Mental Health is a topic that is becoming more and more important to discuss, especially as you move more into management and leadership roles. Your own mental health will affect how you think, feel and act. It also determines how we deal with stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Most importantly being able to talk about mental health with your team, and being aware of considerations you might need to make when dealing with others, will make you a very empathetic leader as well.

Steve’s session is about removing the stigmas and barriers associated with talking about health and mental health as well as encouraging conversations within your own family and friends.

Emotional Intelligence – With Bernie Garrett

Leadership is not about one’s position, but more about one’s level of self-awareness and the impact we as leaders, have on one ‘self and that of the people around us.

Emotional intelligence is not about how smart one believes they are, but more about one’s ability to identify and regulate one’s own emotions and understand the emotions of others.

A high Emotional Quotient helps you to build relationships, reduce team stress, defuse conflict and improve one’s job satisfaction.

Now imagine you are a successful leader in your field, business or organisation, not because of what you have achieved, but because of how you make people feel every day.

Developing a High Performance Culture with Wayne Pearce

Wayne is known more so widely for his contribution to the sport of football. However, since retiring from professional coaching 15 years ago, Wayne (Managing Director of Wayne Pearce Advantage) has been helping businesses increase the productivity of their workforce to great acclaim.

“Everyone deserves the opportunity to be the best they can be, but many people lack either the self-belief, the motivation, and/or an understanding of how to realise their true potential. I observed a genuine appetite for quality personal, team, and leadership development that wasn’t being fed and that’s why I started Wayne Pearce Advantage way back in 2001.”
