Being Responsible For Recovery: Guest Scott Ransome
Warning: This episode contains strong language and detailed content relating to mental illness. Some listeners may find this upsetting.
Scott Ransome has worked in two extremely tough industries where rejection and setbacks are commonplace.
He experienced success as a professional actor before joining the recruitment industry and he truly understands how self-care can be hard to prioritise when we mistakenly think we're 'doing great'.
Scott had his first manic episode at the age of 24. He was subsequently diagnosed as being Manic Depressive (now Bi-Polar) and has lived and worked with that condition ever since.
Despite necessary periods of hospitalisation and recovery, he has successfully worked in the recruitment sales training space for over 20 years.
He is charming, kind and humble.
He is also an addict, gratefully in recovery.
Scott understands more than most that though he is not responsible for his disease, he is responsible for his recovery. He is still here and driven by a duty of care he feels towards the people he has trained, coached and mentored throughout his career in recruitment and beyond.
With a steely passion and determination to help others. He is an example of strength and bravery, showing us that Mental Health and caring about Mental Health is not weakness.
This episode is an enlightening, no-holds-barred account of what it is to be, as Scott coins it: ‘poorly’. We also look at why we should pay more attention to the manic highs and not just the lows of those suffering and why we need to do better as an industry to support our high performers.
