Mentally at Work: Optimising health and business performance through connection

Written by Genevieve Hawkins

Narrated by Genevieve Hawkins

If you haven't got your head buried in the sand, you can't help but notice how much the developed world is talking about mental health. Whether it be discussions on the rates of mental ill-health or the latest 'thing to do' to cope with the anxieties and challenges of an ever-changing world. Rapid changes in the world are impacting our collective mental health, and as a leader, you need to get ahead of the curve if you don't want to leave performance on the table. But to not leave performance on the table you have to get under the skin of how your mental health is connected to the way you lead, your team's mental health and the performance of the business. Real Estate agents shout 'Location, Location, Location', this book shouts 'Connection, Connection, Connection'. This book is about understanding the science behind why connection matters, and the practical strategies to build your mental health, the mental health of the team and the strength of connection that delivers results.
This book is written by a senior manager for senior managers. It pushes away the jargon and 'fluff' to give you insights into why you can't afford to ignore the tsunami hitting the developed world. Your health, your business performance and your future leadership impact depend upon it.

Genevieve Hawkins

Genevieve Hawkins has a unique combination of skills in health, human behaviour and commercial business at small and large scale. She published her first book, Mentally at Work, while working full time in an executive role, when she saw a need in the marketplace to give leaders a pragmatic way of looking after their own mental health and influencing that of the organisation they work in. It took off far more than she had expected and has been humbled by the feedback she has been given on its impact on people's lives. While she had never thought she would write a second book, both the response from her first, and the continuing elephants in the room in workplaces, got her energised to want to write this second book. Again, focused on pragmatic ways of helping leaders develop the critical skill of having better conversations to find common understanding and unlock value. When she isn't writing, or working with businesses to improve commercial collaboration, Genevieve helps leaders have the conversations they need to have, including with themselves.
