In this episode, Jeannette talks to Richard Stone who has spent 30+ years working in construction and development. He is also a TEDx speaker and mentor. Richard is passionate about mental health issues and providing support to others who need help with this.

Richard talks about his early life and his business journey and what he has learned along the way. He also speaks extensively about taking care of your mental health, overcoming trauma, grief, and other life challenges, while at the same time providing the right sort of support to help others to do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Never leave things unsaid and always, always check in with people and make sure they are OK.
The first step to effectively monitoring your mental health is regularly checking in with yourself and asking what am I feeling. How am I acting?
Human beings are hardwired for connection.
Even councillors have a supervisor to check in and make sure they are doing OK mentally. Everyone needs support with their mental health at some stage.
There is a world of difference between mental illness and mental health issues.
Being true to your values and genuine is the only way to be an effective leader.
Treat your workers with respect. The people at the bottom of the pyramid are essential. Without them you are nothing.
You won’t get innovation unless people feel that it is safe to share.
Look at your team dynamics. Understanding how everyone fits together enables you to support your team and pick the right people for the tasks that need to be completed.
Business owners need to learn to share the details of their failures as well as their successes. We can learn so much from each other.
Running a small business is probably the loneliness place to be. There is no board of peers to support you and it is tough to secure finance. Connect with others for support.
Don´t sweat the small stuff. How to stop doing that is explained in the podcast.



BEST MOMENTS

‘I am a firm believer in our being where we are meant to be. ´

‘Look at team dynamics and dynamics in meetings and dynamics when you are pitching all sorts of stuff.’

‘For me, it is all about serving. It can be a lonely world out there, but it doesn´t need to be.’

‘I don´t think we are really ever finished. We can always learn.’



This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
