Welcome back everyone!

Today we are revisiting one of the very best interviews from my previous podcast, with Dr. Bill Howatt. 

As Chief Research and Development Officer at Morneau Shepell, Bill is an internationally recognized expert in mental health who has spent 25 years helping employees, patients, and leaders achieve their potential. Bill has a PhD in Organizational Psychology, did post-doctoral training at UCLA, has developed programs with organizations like the Conference Board of Canada and the University of New Brunswick, and is author of numerous books and articles, including regular contributions to The Globe and Mail.

As I’m sure you know we're faced with a tremendous mental illness epidemic. Around one in five people will access the medical system at some point because of a mental health related challenge. However, much like cancer in the 1950s and AIDS in the 1980s, there is a stigma around talking about mental health challenges. 

In this conversation Bill has an amazing ability to explain all of these topics and really explore in great detail where exactly we need to go in the future if we're going to actually address this particular challenge. So I hope that you enjoy this conversation with the amazing, brilliant, and insightful Dr. Bill Howatt.
