Nick Mair - 3 words empowering men to talk about mental health

What a guy Nick Mair is! After experiencing his own struggles with anxiety and depression, including a call to Lifeline at his lowest point, Nick Mair decided to leave the corporate world behind and transition into a career focused on mental health advocacy. Now a dedicated advocate for mental health, Nick's built a new career coaching, training in Mental Health First Aid, and facilitating sessions around psychosocial hazards in workplaces. Nick is also the founder of ‘The Mental Health Pack’ and hosts ‘The Man O'Clock Show’ podcast where he uses humour and empathy to connect with men about some really important issues. It was amazing to sit down with Nick to chat about his journey, his own recovery, and how he's using what he's learned along the way to support men opening up about their mental health. We hope this conversation gives you insights into ways you might be able to help people in your life with their mental health, but of course, if you're struggling yourself, please reach out to Lifeline on 13 11 14 (in Australia) if you need help or support.

Michelle J Raymond - Backing yourself and making an impact

After a disappointing encounter with an old boss, Michelle J Raymond decided in early 2020 to quit her corporate sales job on the spot! She stepped bravely into the unknown determined to do whatever came next on her own terms. Navigating the global pandemic which followed shortly after wasn't easy, but Michelle fell on her feet, pursued her passion for LinkedIn and founded her business, B2B Growth Co, which sees her help her clients achieve real results through LinkedIn. It was a great move for Michelle who now travels the world as a globally recognised LinkedIn Company Pages expert, also co-authoring the two international best-sellers “Business Gold – Build Awareness, Authority and Advantage with LinkedIn Company Pages” and “The LinkedIn Branding Book – The Power of Two: Build your Personal and Business brand on LinkedIn for exponential growth”. We had an amazing chat with Michelle who talked us through her journey, the challenges along the way and how she made the decision to truly back herself in all aspects of her life.
