Episode notes

It is crucial to have open conversations about mental health in the workplace. By sharing personal experiences of anxiety and depression, individuals can create a supportive environment for discussing mental health struggles. Encouraging communication about mental well-being can lead to improved relationships with colleagues and foster a more understanding work environment.

Sharing his own experience with mental illness, he reveals the surprising benefits of opening up about stress at work — and why being vulnerable creates a safe space for everyone. After the talk, Modupe discusses why we all need to advocate for important causes on an institutional level — and how to start.
