Mental Health in Recruitment Ambassador Chris O’Connell joins Rhonda D’Ambrosio giving a very honest account of what mental health means to him.  

An award-winning entrepreneur, with a proven track record of building highly successful businesses, Chris talks candidly about how the trauma he experienced in childhood has impacted and influenced him throughout his life, not only driving a need to prove himself and gain recognition and success but also fuelling less desirable behaviours that over two or three decades, eventually took their toll. 

How did Chris come out the other side and why does he truly understand what it is to be a vulnerable leader and advocate for men's mental health?
