Rob Stephenson is the CEO of FormScore, a keynote speaker, and founder of InsideOut LeaderBoard who has embarked on the mission of smashing the stigma of mental health and inspiring the creation of mentally healthy workplaces and society. Being bipolar he has found a road to managing his own mental health through the encouragement of a friend and another mental health campaigner, it has become his personal advocacy to raise awareness on the theme from a personal to a societal level. He offers highly practical steps for individuals struggling with mental disorders and viable means for companies to practice to help build and keep the well-being of their workers.

Highlights:

• Lesson from the pandemic -- we will all struggle over mental health issues at certain points
• Managed not Recovered -- mental illness comes and goes, and it is liberating to realize that management, not recovery, is what one needs in order to thrive
•  FormScore -- using the technology, this requires one to score his own mood/emotions on a scale of 1-10, thereby showing him and his colleagues the pattern indicating his wellness in realtime
•  InsideOut LeaderBoard -- leaders whose names are included in the list serve as role models impacting and empowering others to be more open about their mental struggles
•  Safety and empowerment -- it is time everyone should feel safe despite having a mental illness and be empowered not only to talk about it but more importantly, to prioritize their wellbeing even in the workplace

According to Rob, "right time" is a major consideration before one's name gets published in the LeaderBoard. And the app is handy and extremely helpful for people in companies and organizations. But if you wake up one day feeling not your best self, and could not get up for no apparent reason, tell someone you love in order to get connected. Prioritize sleep and self-care. But for worse and more critical cases such as bipolarity and worse depression, professional help and medication must be sought. To get more simple and highly practicable, profound, and on-point explanations on mental health,   look for Rob by simply googling InsideOut LeaderBoard to get to his platforms.
