Lets Have This Conversation

A survey of 2,000 American adults sought to uncover our relationship with handwritten notes, handwriting and email in the digital age.

Results showed millennials not only appreciate writing more but are more likely to keep hold of hand-written keepsakes than those in their fifties.

The research, which was conducted by handwritten note service, Bond, found millennials also tend to have a lot more confidence in their handwriting, with 33 percent reporting they have “very good” handwriting, compared to just 17 percent of those 55 or older.

Mental illness affects some 1.2 million of our children and youth.  According to the Mental health Commission of Canada,

Jan Stewart is a highly regarded mental health governance expert and advocate. Growing up in New York and moving to Toronto after marrying a Canadian, she was untouched by major adversity throughout her youth and imagined a similar, happy life for her children. In her raw and emotional book Hold on Tight: A Parent’s Journey Raising Children with Mental Illness, she candidly describes the shock she and her husband faced when each of their two young children started exhibiting troubling behaviours.

While it took time to find the right doctors, diagnoses and treatments, Jan’s roller coaster journey with the children’s multiple mental health disorders taught her to insist on an integrated partnership approach with all those involved and propelled her to help parents of children with similar challenges. Her book gives readers invaluable insights and advice to become empowered and inspires them to persevere and never give up. It also importantly serves to better educate health care professionals on the parental perspective, as well as families, friends, educators and employers of those affected by these challenges.

While Jan takes great pride in her business career, the majority of which was spent as a senior Partner with the global executive search firm Egon Zehnder, it is her mental health governance experience that has been the most meaningful to her. This includes currently Chairing the Board at Kerry’s Place Autism Services, Canada’s largest autism services provider, and previously serving as Vice Chair at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

She also served on the Parent Advisory Council at Mass General Hospital’s Department of Neuropsychopharmacology, the Advisory Council of Access Open Minds, the Advisory Board of LIGHTS, and the Board of Directors of the former Ontario OCD Network. In addition, she co-founded the OCD Parent Advisory Group at SickKids Hospital. Jan is a Diamond Life Master in bridge and enjoys genealogy, fitness and dance. She joined me this week to tell me more.

More than 8 out of 10 global executives believe their people feel “excellent” or “good” in their physical, mental, social and financial wellbeing, according to a February survey of 2,100 people from Deloitte and Workplace Intelligence. However, employees rate how well they’re doing in each category much lower. In one big misalignment, though 81% of C-suite leaders think their employees are doing well with their finances, just 40% of employees actually feel that way

Jason Hopcus is a motivator and catalyst for cultural change within organizations. He believes that connection to one’s self, one’s transparency and one’s passion to connect, allows individuals to live a wholly authentic, full life. He creates systems of people working to deepen their relationships to their work, their play, and ultimately our world. He presently serves as non-profit President & CEO of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Arapahoe & Douglas Counties and is Founder of the Connection Project, a for-profit company.

“The stigmas of mental health cannot be unraveled unless we begin to celebrate those who have pulled themselves back up… and then some. It’s time to acknowledge recovery success.”

Jason’s mission is to advance human connection by embracing the conversation of fighters; the folks whose journeys from black to light give hope to those that deserve a 2nd or even a 3rd chance to be the ambassadors of conversation. The present narrative about mental health is often perpetuated through sad, scary, or traumatic events, which typically overlooks individuals who are simply struggling with functional life issues. The Connection Project takes a fresh approach by focusing on those who have turned their personal struggle around to champion for a community-driven cause. Through the raw focus on the individual, Jason nourishes honest conversation to birth a system of ‘next level’ social responsibility. He joined me this week to tell me more.

Across America, there are approximately 18.3 million children who live without a father in the home, comprising about 1 in 4 US children (Father Absence Statistics). The United States has the highest rate of children living in single-parent households of any nation in the world, according to the American Policy institute.  For Chad Smith: “People have often asked Why did you start Battle Warrior Brands? Let me break this down to the simplest way possible by pictures of my past.

A person who had his father leave during his teenage years. Someone who buried his trauma in substance abuse and false sense of life. A kid that literally was months away from getting his boat repoed by the bank and spent 3/4 of his student loans on alcohol and flashy toys. It took 33 years, a divorce, 23 years of addictions to finally wake up and own my life.

You see this brand was not established because I want to own a “brand”. This "brand" was created because I was there, ran the miles, and lived it. Life chewed me up and spit me out like another statistic. I am sick of watching people do the same.

So why I created Battle Warrior Brands?? I created Battle Warrior Brands based off of the mindset. The mindset of a warrior that went through the battle, and striving for a better life. A mindset that requires the best physical,  mental, and spiritual shape.

Am I the best “gym shape” person out there? Nope, but I challenge myself everyday. The next run, the next race, the next struggle, most important the next day. Its all about learning YOU ARE MORE!

I want all of you to feel this same feeling of free by wearing the best apparel, and listening to the best information around. We create a culture of warriors that conquer a better mental, physical, spiritual battles with the battle warrior mindset. That my friend is true freedom! The freedom to create, lead, and change the culture.

YOU ARE MORE!
