Mental Health in the Workplace with Lethabo Sekele

Mental Health in the Workplace with Lethabo Sekele
Experiencing mental health challenges in the workplace may lead to decreased productivity, increased sick-related absenteeism, poor work quality,  and poor job satisfaction. Despite research showing that mental health challenges affect a large population of the work force, workplaces and corporate culture is yet to fully acknowledge its role in creating spaces that are supportive and inclusive of people with mental health challenges. A more proactive approach for managing mental health in the workplace is a strategic imperative for employers. In this episode I am joined by Lethabo Sekele to talk about Mental Health in the Workplace. Lethabo is the Chief Executive at Workwell Workplace Mental Health - They equip organisations to creatively formulate strategies in the workplace to identify, understand and respond to employee mental health needs and challenges. Lethabo shares with us her experience, and the work she does in educating and empowering organisations.

Awakening the African Consciousness with Siseko Kumalo

Awakening the African Consciousness with Siseko Kumalo
In this episode I am joined by Siseko Kumalo, who is an academic, published writer, PhD candidate at the University of Pretoria, and the former editor-in-chief at the Journal of Decolonising Disciplines. Kumalo joins me for a conversation on decolonisation. For many decades, Africa's identity had been determined, through oppressive techniques, by eurocentric ideals. In the past couple of decades, there has been a concentrated effort to address these injustices of the past, and from there, re-establish the African identity. As a new generation takes center stage, be it politically, commercially, or as parents, we are presented with the opportunity to take part in reconstructing the African identity. The intention of this episode is to bring clarity to what is meant by decolonisation, and what roles there are to play in this endeavour.Siseko Kumalo's Information:Twitter: http://twitter.com/KumaloProf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prof_kumalo/Siseko's Academic Information: https://up-za.academia.edu/SisekoKumalo/CurriculumVitaeSiseko's TED Talk on Decolonisation of Education: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrSEmFumT0g&ab_channel=UniversityofPretoriaPodcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.comSupport the show
Dear 2020, Thank You
Dec 20 2020
Dear 2020, Thank You
Let's reflect on the year that was. However, considering the challenges of the year - the perspective this episode takes is that of gratitude. Research in Positive Psychology has found that gratitude and happiness are always strongly correlated. Gratitude moves people to experience more positive emotions, to thoroughly enjoy the good experiences, better their health, face adversity, and develop and maintain relationships of strength, which in turn makes you happier. In this episode I have invited dear friends to share with us what, in spite of the challenges of 2020, they are most grateful for. My intention is to create space for gratitude. My hope is that as we recognize our own blessings, hopefully you listening will notice the good in your own life and we can exit 2020 a little bit happier. Enjoy the episode.“There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.” — Ralph H.
