We Are Human Leaders

Welcome to the We are Human Leaders Podcast, In today's episode we're diving into a topic that every single human being on earth has experience with - stress. In our wide ranging conversation with Dr Delia McCabe, we explore how to navigate stress using nutrition and neuroscience and the intersection of the two.Stress is a natural occurrence in everyday life, however its impact can be detrimental to ourselves, and how we lead others. Dr McCabe helps us understand the relationship between our nutrition and its impact on our brain and our ability to manage stress. This session is incredibly insightful and sheds light on the power of nutritional neuroscience and how we can take practical steps in managing our stress just through what we eat.Delia McCabe (PhD) shifted her research focus from clinical psychology to nutritional neuroscience upon discovering nutrition’s critical role in mental wellbeing while completing her Masters. Delia’s research into the neurological effect of specific nutrients on female stress has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, she is a regular featured expert in the media and her two internationally available books are available in four languages. Using her background in psychology, combined with evidence-based nutritional neuroscience and neurological perspectives, Delia supports behaviour change and stress resiliency within corporates, and for individuals who want to optimize their brain health, via online courses, workshops and tailored events internationally.We hope this episode has underscored the importance of nutrition to your capacity to Lead yourself and others, and perhaps has inspired some shifts in your own behaviors and habits. If so, let us know what those are!

This conversation shares a new perspective of the power Leadership can have in creating positively impactful organisations that can act as vehicles for change and peace in our world. As Leaders tune into their purpose and align with a more empathic and mindful leadership style, business can shift focus from being profit centred to true drivers of positive global change - it all begins with us. At Human Leaders this speaks to our pillar of Human Leaders called Leading Others, an opportunity for Leaders to become more aware of their impact on those around them, choose mindful communication over reactivity to drive more connection in their teams. Mandar Apte is joining us from Mumbai, India for this conversation where he currently manages the Cities4Peace initiative that actively promotes peace and nonviolence in cities worldwide. Prior to this, Mandar was a scholar at George Mason University and also managed Shell’s prestigious GameChanger social innovation program investing in ideas that create shared value – business value and social impact. For nearly two decades, Mandar has taught leadership programs using meditation practices for the International Association for Human Values (IAHV). Mandar won the inaugural League of Intrapreneurs award for his work to facilitate an innovation learning program using meditation practice at Shell to over 2000 colleagues.Thanks for being a part of this potent conversation with Mandar Apte on the power of Mindful Leadership. As Mandar mentioned in his closing comments of the conversation, as a global leadership community we can support each other to mobilise for change, as we each have an individual responsibility for being the change we wish to see in the world around us.

Welcome to the We are Human Leaders podcast. Today we’re taking a very raw and candid deep dive in this conversation with Dr Tahnee Bridson around mental health and the power of peer support in the workplace.Dr Bridson has a story that for many of us, including other healthcare professionals, will likely hit very close to home. It’s one of struggle, hidden mental illness and the challenges that come from caring for others in a high stress and high stakes environment. In this conversation Tahnee shares her experiences candidly, and opens up about her journey to being a part of the change in fighting the growing mental health crisis our health providers face.Tahnee is the Founder of Hand in Hand Peer Support; a visionary solution in combating the mental health crisis and surrounding stigma in healthcare, by connecting medical professionals in Australia and New Zealand with free and confidential peer support. It was through this inspiring work that she was named Forbes 30 under 30 in 2021 and Queensland's Young Australian of the Year in 2022. Tahnee is a Psychiatry Registrar at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and studied medicine at James Cook University in North Queensland where she graduated with First Class Honours and was awarded the Rural Doctors Association of Queensland Prize. Tahnee is not only an incredible mind, but she’s an incredible heart. Her Leadership style is so deeply human and so innately connected to her purpose in advocating for mental health support and reducing the stigma.As a content warning, sensitive topics such as suicide, mental illness, eating disorders and other personal struggles are discussed which may be triggering and distressing for some listeners. This episode is not in any way psychological advice and should not be substituted for mental health advice. If you or someone you know is suffering with mental illness, don’t do so in silence, please reach out for help. In Australia you can access 24/7 counseling through LifeLine, and wherever you are in the world, support is available. Please take care of yourself and know that you matter.Reach Dr Tahnee Brisdon and the Hand-n-Hand Peer Support Network here: https://www.handnhand.org.au/We hope this episode has brought to the fore the power of peer support in life and business, and the power of community in helping to break the stigma and address mental health.
