    S2: Transforming wellbeing using AI with Shoorah founder Lorri Haines
    Apr 16 2024
    In this month’s episode of the podcast, we are joined by serial entrepreneur Lorri Haines. Lorri and his fiancé Fearne McCann (Public figure and star of ITVBe’s My Family and Me) are co-founders of mental health and wellbeing app Shoorah.
    In this conversation we continue our theme of mental wellness and how mental health, and personal wellbeing can either improve or reduce the productivity of teams in the workplace. We explore new ways that leaders can prevent, and support employees improved wellbeing using new technology, and dare we say it – artificial intelligence! Which is a core component of the Shoorah’s counselling offer – Shuru.
    If you’re curious about how technology can be used to help not hinder our wellbeing, how we function in a world of ever-increasing stress, and how the NHS could be revolutionised by using technology and AI, then this conversation will spark your interest.
    Lorri’s 3 leadership essentials are:
    1. Do what you say you are going to do
    2. People don’t work for you, they work with you
    3. Don’t work so hard because one day it’s going to be over.
    Excitingly Lorri also shares some brand-new features coming later this year in the Shoorah app, and how HR and L&D managers in organisations can try the app for free. It’s also worth noting that the cost for Shoorah business is significantly reduced per user. Find out more and request a free demo at: https://shoorah.io/shoorah-business/

  • S2: Navigating The Menopuase with Melissa Sookia

    S2: Navigating The Menopuase with Melissa Sookia
    Mar 4 2024
    Melissa Sookia, founder of Live, discusses menopause, its impact on women in leadership roles, and the need for affordable treatment.

    Menopause symptoms vary and can affect productivity at work. Perimenopause starts with subtle changes like irregular periods and mood swings. Awareness is key in supporting women experiencing symptoms. Menopause can last for a 15-year period, with some women sailing through, while others may have severe symptoms.

    Lack of awareness often leads to confusion and emotional distress for women experiencing symptoms.

    We ask Melissa what can women do for themselves, and where should they go for help and direction. What should considerate employers be thinking about when it comes to discussing this thorny subject?

    Leadership Essentials:
    Melissa shares her main takeaways about what women should be thinking about:

    1. Communication: whether its your home life, or in the workplace talk about your feelings, and symptoms because you need to be heard and understood

    2. Delegate: shift some of your workload

    3. Time Management: take time, and be kind to yourself.

    Melissa can be contacted through linkedin, or you can visit her website and book a consultation with her at LIVVE.UK

  • S2: Increasing Wurkplace Wellbeing with Claire Burns

    S2: Increasing Wurkplace Wellbeing with Claire Burns
    Jul 12 2023
    What does wellbeing in the workplace mean to you? There’s a lot of talk about mental health, and mental wellbeing, yet when it comes to understanding the full breadth and depth of our wellness this nowhere near the full story. Are your people happy, healthy and comfortable?

    In this episode Rachael & John are in conversation with Claire Burns Health and Wellbeing Consultant - Mental Health First Aid Instructor and Founder of Wurkplace Wellbeing; uncovering the range and scope of employee help, that better leaders should be seeking within their organisations. 

    They uncover the four pillars of well-being and discover how each one can be affected by the other. Looking after your employees makes obvious sense, it should be the human thing to do; vital for the individual, their family and friends and the good of your organisation. Yet it is not so obvious to match peoples outward behaviour with their thinking, and understanding what’s most important to them.

    Three Things for Leaders to be on the lookout for:-

    • People have different starting points - The critical importance of showing affirmation and validation of someones situation
    • Vulnerability to stress - Appreciating the different triggers, and our individual capacity that fill up our “stress tank"
    • Hidden behaviours  - Asking why perfectionism is a real problem alert?
    Claire’s Leadership Essentials:

    1. Curiosity
    2. Empathy
    3. Role Modelling 

    The four pillars of wellbeing: social, financial, mental health, and physical health.
