Building a positive performance culture that delivers both employee wellbeing and commercial results is one of the greatest traits of leadership expert Fleur Heazlewood. She has more than two decades of experience mentoring in positive leadership, future-fit resilience and mental health mastery.

Heazlewood is honest in sharing her journey and exploring how to manage those difficult mental health conversations at work.

Leadership is a constant balancing act, and it’s natural to feel pulled in different directions. As leaders, it is important to remember that you are human, too, and to know it is okay to ask for help and take time for self-care.

“Positive leadership that leads to sustainable performance is possible for any team when we start supporting wellbeing and building resilience as a capability and enabler of performance, rather than as a reward for results.”

It’s important for leaders to know how they can have confident mental health conversations that support both the wellbeing and performance of their people at work.
