5 years ago today – on World Mental Health Day – I got the news that I was being made redundant.
In those 5 years, much has changed:
✅ Completed university
✅ Started a business
✅ Published academic research
✅ Qualified as a psychologist
✅ Been recognised in leadership, culture, and psychology fields
✅ Became an ambassador, judge and head judge for multiple awards
✅ Recognised as a global thought leader on Culture & Leadership
✅ Generated over £300,000 for other local business owners
✅ Published my debut book
None of this would be possible without help to get me through that first period, 5 years ago.
And none of that would have happened if I’d not asked for help.
It can be tough. I know; I’ve been there.
But better days do come.
And they come more often, quickly and smoothly if we can normalise asking for help.
You’ve got this.
