We talk about how we must understand and respect the culture of an organisation when considering interventions, that's across the board and particularly for men's mental health. We also talk about getting outside - with school memories from two nothern lads, it's almost like an old hovis advert and we finish with a great takeaway from Steve.Oh and by the way - Steve is a clinical psychologist, author of ACT made Yorkshire and creator and host of the shit shower and self care podcast.People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun.

Movember Part 1 with Dr Steve Jones

Movember Part 1 with Dr Steve Jones

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 33 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. P-Soupers, One of the wonderful things about having a producer - and specifically a producer like Emma - is that she's fizzing with ideas. When Emma mentioned Movember I immediately sent out a bat signal to friend of the show Dr Steve Jones and later that week - we met virtually over a brew to chat about men's mental health. Why do men seem to find it more difficult to talk about emotions, stuff that makes them feel uncomfortable and instead tend to bottle it up? Well - we have a go at answering that - and reflect on some of the guests that Steve has had on his brilliant show - the Shit Shower and Self Care Podcast. We also touch on Steve's pride at his nerdiness, football, and superheroes.

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 32 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. It's a bit different this week. It's a solo episode, a cup-a-soup if you like. What I want to do is build on the idea I shared earlier this year about having a separate sister podcast of PeopleSoup for leaders. One where they can tune in and really hear about bite sized practical skills that they can use to develop and evolve their own authentic leadership style. So I wanted to present my emerging idea to you all and hopefully get your views.Think of this as a kind of, discussion paper if you like. I'd love to get your ideas and views on how ACT can support the development and evolution of authentic leadership. I've called the episode Act and Authentic Leadership FM. And Authentic Leadership FM is the new holding name for what will perhaps be a spin off podcast.People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun.

Ross on the Sh*t Shower and Self-Care Podcast

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 18 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. TasterThis week, it's something a bit different. I was invited to be a guest on the Shit Shower and Self-Care Podcast by Dr Steve Jones. Now Steve is a friend of the show. He's already been on People Soup talking about his brilliant book, ACT made Yorkshire. Since then - he's got the podcast bug and launched his own, where with his guests he exploresWhat does it mean to be a man?What does mental health mean to men?How are we able to talk more about the stuff that we might otherwise keep tucked away at the back of our sock drawer?Now our chat was spread across two episodes so I thought I'd share the second one - and just to flag - I use the f word on more than one occasion in the chat. I also reflect on my experience of being a gay man in the workplace, gay role models when I was growing up and how we're all still learning in the workplace.

Kevin is truly dedicated to supporting people at work and his research publications reflect that, particularly his work supporting those in health care. He's such a kind, thoughtful, reflective and humble man - I'm a big fan of Kevin, his work and his stance of exploring the systems and organisations in which people operate.
