Katherine Newton is a CEO doing impactful important work.
Some of the key topics we cover are:
- When people stop doing things that they love, this can be an indictor that they're struggling
- Venting and discussing small issues can go a long way to stopping them becoming big problems
- If you do ask if someone is ok, really listen to their response and be genuinely interested (don't ask five minutes before a meeting or while scrolling on your phone)
- Prioritise staying in touch with people
- If you're a corporate and the only activity you to do to support mental health is put up RU Ok posters, don’t. Instead be authentic with a variety of activities throughout the year, build support of mental health into everyday culture.
One insight that Katherine shared that particularly struck me as a marketer and mental health advocate was that when she's wearing the bright yellow RU OK tee shirt people approach her and want to talk.
