In this episode we chat to Dan Greco, an executive performance coach who works with many people in the mining sector around performance, personal issues and challenges they face within our industry plus others. He previously worked in a catering as chef, working on mining sites remotely and on FIFO rosters so is experienced and understands what those conditions and environments are like

Dan responded to my LinkedIn post about getting a guest to come on to the podcast to talk about metal health issues with FIFO lifestyles and it’s a common theme and often spoken about in his work so it would be good to share some knowledge and give some tips to help improve anyone working on a FIFO basis or even working remotely.

He talks about common practices any FIFO worker should follow to reduce further confrontations at home and what things you should work on to improve your mental health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
No matter which job you do, there can always be a sense of routine and drudgery, which can contribute to a decline in mental wellbeing.
The physical aspect of wellbeing contributes heavily to the wellbeing of our mind. If we take care of the body, the mind will benefit.
We tend to deal with big things in our mind quite easily. It's the smaller things that niggle and nag at our minds which make days worse.
Life keeps moving, no matter where you are. It's pointless to worry about things that are far away. Control the things you can, and leave the rest to others.

BEST MOMENTS

'I experience what it was really like to bear the brunt of how harsh it can be'

'You can become conditioned'

'It's about living a communal life. It's not a normal life'

'There's a level of patience that we must develop'
