‘I would say to anyone, speak and there is bravery in that even if you are vulnerable ‘

Tony Nneke is Chair of Oracle UKIE Cultural Harmony Network and passionate about Diversity and Inclusion as well as mental health.

Tony  talks openly about needing to take time off work due to poor mental health and how leaders helped or hindered his experience in the workplace.

We go deep on:

  • Practicing vulnerability at work
  • The need to create supportive and safe environments in the workplace
  • Engaging in mental health conversations in the workplace
  • Impact of mental health on productivity
  • Opening up to management and colleagues
  • The feeling of shame around mental health
  • The Power of Conversation
  • Childhood experiences of mental health
  • Recognising the trigger points and the ongoing journey
  • Finding your own balance and boundaries
