WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH & LEADERSHIP
Leading From The Top
Better Leadership Starts With Better Conversations.
The way we lead shapes the way people experience work. And when mental health enters the picture, what leaders say, do, and sometimes fail to do can make all the difference.
Leading From the Top challenges outdated approaches to workplace mental health and equips leaders to navigate the conversations, decisions, and responsibilities that come with leading people—not just managing performance.
Employees Don't Need Perfect Leaders
THEY NEED PREPARED LEADERS.
Mental health challenges don't stay at home when employees show up for work. And when those challenges affect performance, relationships, or well-being, leaders can't afford to look the other way.
Yet too many managers are expected to navigate situations they've never been prepared for. I created Leading From the Top to change that. Because workplace culture isn't defined by what an organization says it values. It's defined by how its leaders show up when it matters most.
SIGNATURE WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM
Leadership That Goes Beyond Good Intentions.
Leading From the Top is designed to help organizations move beyond simply talking about mental health and start addressing how it shows up in the workplace.
Through engaging, thought-provoking training, I bring together professional expertise, lived experience, and the realities leaders face every day. We examine the assumptions that influence workplace culture, the conversations that often go unspoken, and the leadership practices that can change how people experience work.
3 Customizable Sessions Flexible Delivery Format In-Person or Virtual 60 Minutes
WORKSHOP 1
From Stigma to Support
Rethinking Mental Health in the Workplace
What happens when we look beyond what employees show us and start understanding what they may be experiencing? Explore the realities of living and working with mental health challenges, the fears and risks that keep people from speaking up, and the impact of stigma on workplace culture. Learn to recognize common signs and symptoms while uncovering why mental health isn't just a people issue—it's a business issue that directly affects your bottom line
WORKSHOP 2
Conversations That Matter
Navigating Mental Health With Clarity and Confidence
When an employee is struggling, avoiding the conversation doesn't make the problem disappear.

Move beyond the fear of saying the wrong thing and discover how a thoughtful conversation can make a meaningful difference.
WORKSHOP 3
Rethinking Business As Usual
