This launch episode of Coffee First was taken from a recording of a live webinar Adam Saunders (Managing Partner at Amrop UK) hosted in May 2020 – during lockdown and Mental Health Awareness Week to discuss the topic of Kindness.
Adam is joined by guest Dr Hazel Harrison – clinical psychologist and founder of Think Avellana; a firm which works with clients ranging from FTSE 100s through to SMEs, on their strategies and practices around mental well-being at work. In her work Hazel helps create highly productive, growth-oriented company cultures by demonstrating the importance of wellbeing, from the board down to graduates.
Adam and Hazel talk about the importance of wellbeing to an individual’s health, teams health and businesses health. They discuss how mental wellbeing has become an openly discussed topic inside businesses, with more and more time, and money, being spent on understanding the importance of positive wellbeing to culture and productivity. They draw parallels between mental wellbeing and physical wellbeing and share some ideas on how daily practices can add a lot in the long-term.
During the chat, they refer to a number of sources which can be found below together with some recommended books:
