It also includes interpersonal and work skills such as teamwork, leadership, adaptability and cognitive function, as well as the ability to maintain these qualities over a career.

The WHO says: "Good brain health is a state in which every individual can realise their own abilities and optimise their cognitive, emotional, psychological and behavioural functioning to cope with life situations." The Lancet defines it as "a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing through the continuous development and exercise of the brain.”

"Remember that heady rush of excitement and adrenalin which most people experience when they are given, or take, a position of power over someone or indeed something, else." As Sir John Dalberg-Acton wrote in 1857, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men..."

Serenity in Leadership's CEO, Thom Dennis, is a culture change specialist with over 30 years' experience in developing leadership skills and making workplaces safer for employees.

In this full-ranging talk as part of SiL's Profitable Wellbeing Dialogue series, Thom explores the differences between bullying and harassment and offers things that both organisations and individuals can do to eliminate harassment and protect themselves, and benefit the bottom line at the same time.

"We're all socialised and conditioned around the dynamics of racism. And it requires all of us to show up to bring the change that we want to see."

Serenity in Leadership's guest speaker, Raggi Kotak, is a human rights barrister with more than 20 years experience challenging issues such as racism, gender violence and mental health.

In this eye-opening dialogue, Raggi describes the daily regular encounters of racism she experienced as a child and the horrific experiences of racism she faced in the beginning of her law career. Her talk addresses how people refuse to acknowledge racism is in their organisations, and notes how the belief that it happens elsewhere often differs to the opinion of those working at a company. .
