Remove the Guesswork: Health, Fitness and Wellbeing for Busy Professionals
Ep. 10: Good mental hygiene, courageous leadership and addressing the stigma of mental health in the workplace with Geoff McDonald
My guest this week is Geoff McDonald. Geoff is the former Global VP for Marketing, Communications, Sustainability & Talent at Unilever, and now defines his purpose as addressing and ending the stigma of depression and anxiety in the workplace and helping organisations play their positive role in the world. This man is a bundle of energy, and you can sense that in the way he conveys his philosophies and ideas in our conversation. We talk about why energy is so lacking in the workplace, why we need to keep our minds healthy and fit in the same way most of us do our bodies, how we can start to change the corporate culture and what you can do as an individual and if you’re an HR Professional, what you can do within your organisation to remove the stigma and instigate change.
