World mental health day

Today is World mental health day. At Sharp Perceptions we are honoring this day through an Immersive Oret experience in the mountains. I am so looking forward to telling you all about it.

This year’s theme is prioritizing mental health in work places. I remember in my last employment I had found myself holding a role for someone which was supposed to be three weeks for over three months. My whole body was super tired and burn out a familiar was already creeping in. Not to mention some colleagues had experienced mental breakdown contributed hugely by the work.

What I have seen is that often organisations can be very blind to the experiences of the staff only wanting results. Human centred approaches in leadership is key and I believe that ensures productivity while building the people that contribute to that productivity.

While we cannot necessarily change the systems we operate in, it is important to be mindful of own wellbeing. To be intentional with breaks and self care.
