Leaders’ mental health special: part 2

We chat with Dr Sarah Hughes, CEO of Mind

Almost 10% more leaders feel more burned out than in 2020. What can we do about this?

In the second of our two part special on leaders and mental health, we were honoured to speak to the one and only Sarah Hughes, CEO of mental health charity Mind. We wanted to find out how leaders can look after their mental wellbeing during an exceptionally tough year, and how they can give the same level of care to their teams.

Sarah tells us why having a peer group is a really important part of leaders’ wellbeing, whether the pandemic genuinely shifted the conversation about mental health and how people are processing the upheaval and trauma of the last three years.

We also discuss why and how the charity sector needs to change- and some of the challenges that may be encountered along the way.

Zoe and Paul also open the episode by sharing their experiences of how they manage their mental health.
