Topics

Real Conversations: The counterintuitive approach to being truly supportive, by learning to “sit in the mud”.

5 step proven communication formula that boosts connection skills by up to 400%

Watch session overview here

Why you should book this talk:

We think that ‘talking’ and ‘connecting’ are the same thing. It turns out that they are completely different. Very few people know how to actually connect… until now. Healthy relationships are the heartbeat of life, including business. In our day-to-day interactions with our team and/or coworkers, we are often faced with the confronting reality of supporting people who are going through difficult times. It’s common to feel confused about what to say or do, overcome with fear of getting it wrong, or riddled with guilt that we might make things worse. If that resonates with you, hire this mental health expert who has helped 10,000+ people in similar situations learn a new way to connect with confidence. In this keynote, Mitch shares core insights from his proprietary framework which has been adopted and trusted by some of the world’s biggest companies to boost psychological safety and facilitate conversations that truly move the needle.

Who is this for:

1) Leaders & People Managers (top-down approach)

Are your people managers leaning out when they should be leaning in?

Despite best intentions to be helpful, many managers don’t know how to connect, subsequently fracturing trust and creating legal, economic & reputational risk for the business. We help leaders find the middle ground of maximum impact. Where they are therapeutic, without being a therapist.

The importance of having people-centric leaders cannot be overstated. It’s the #1 way to create psychological safety in the workplace. You cannot outsource duty of care, you need to internally build the muscle of care. EAP isn’t the answer to a lack of leadership capability. Effectively supporting staff is a basic & necessary requirement for people managers to build healthy high performing teams.

2) Passionate peer supporters (bottom-up approach)

Ignite your most critical mental health support system: passionate peer supporters. Peers are craving a sense of shared understanding. Emotional CPR is part of supporting colleagues, but it’s not the whole picture. Mental Health First Aid is not a peer support program. Establishing a thriving network of advocates within the organisation involves giving them tools to do more than just triage.

The majority of peers don’t know what to say and do to provide assistance to someone who’s stressed, upset, or living with a mental illness, even if they are accredited in Mental Health First Aid.

We help peer supporters find their passion, fuel their knowledge, and support their continuous growth over the long term.
