Today's episode is an open chat about 'the state of things' with Every Saturday founder, Mark Boyd
We're chatting about how having conversations can change industries, and can change the health of our employees.
TW: mental health and suicide.
Ahead of R U Ok day next week, we're also reflecting on some important experiences that Mark Boyd has seen in his industry, but in corporate as a whole and how we can move away from the cupcake day and make dynamic change for mental health.
We're talking women's rights in the workplace, and whether we need to burn it all down and start again.
Longer one today - but as the name suggests... A conversation that needs to happen!
Mark’s career started at the age of 15. The first computer he fixed was the family PC. He broke it. His dad was at work. He had to figure out how to fix it before his dad got home. Ever since then, he was hooked. From the moment Mark set foot in his first role, he saw a challenge with workers and managers often having a disconnect between their shared (or sometimes separate) wants and needs when coming to work every day.
With a passion for problem-solving and have risen through the ranks to build high-performing teams worldwide. Mark was always aware of his mental health challenges and never shied away from tackling them head-on. With the belief that humanity is more than the tagline on our LinkedIn profiles, he set out to bring people into a platform where they could tell their career stories and lend a voice to those still developing theirs.
Mark’s story is a relentless (and sometimes misguided) pursuit of technical and business perfection, a high bar he now realises is impossible to meet, and a story of openly and purposefully making mistakes and owning them. EverySaturday is here to show that even the most senior people in the technology industry can be vulnerable and make mistakes.
This site is built on the belief that a senior manager, COO, Director, or CEO of any business can share their mistakes with the world, those coming into the workforce will not shy away from making them, and we’ll leave the world a happier, healthier place.
