Dr Charlie Easmon trained at St George's. London. He did his elective in Ghana (his country of birth) and has since worked with, among others, Merlin, Raleigh International and Save the Children in Rwanda, and ECHO in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.

He has been privileged to work in and visit 75 countries.

Charlie’s interest in mental health in the workplace came late through his occupational health work in which he saw the consequences of poor work environments, late referral, lack of mental health support resources or poor management. He lectures in schools to children, parents and teachers on mental health.

He has built his own private medical business through various (at times stressful) ups and downs over the last 15 years and has counted 12% of the FT100 amongst his clients. The current business is called Your Excellent Health Service www.yourexcellenthealth.co.uk and is based at 1 Harley Street

Roz Savage MBE is the first (and so far only) woman to row solo across the world’s “Big Three” oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian, earning four Guinness World Records. A latecomer to the world of adventure, she was inspired to pick up her oars for the environmental cause after seeing the retreating glaciers in the South American Andes.

She has written two books about her ocean adventures, and earlier this year published The Gifts of Solitude: A Guide to Surviving and Thriving in Isolation, drawing on her experiences as a solo rower to support people struggling with lockdown.

She now writes, speaks, and lectures on sustainability, courage, resilience, and leadership, and is the founder of the Sisters, a global women’s movement.

By the time she was 27, Toni McClelland was proactively working with councillors through the London riots and bombings as well as being a lay visitor for the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA), she was embedded in the community and the go to person. She was fast emerging as a crisis leader

With a wealth of strategic business development experience across criminal justice, education, care and fast forward to the present day, my work has seen me managing multi-million-pound budgets and portfolio projects whilst focusing on large reorganisations, transformations, evaluations, service reviews and feasibility projects

She is passionate about individualisation, personalisation awareness, organisational cultures and bringing sustainable change with empowerment, embracing difference and inclusion at the heart.

Today Mike Vacanti hosts a stunning hue-man conversation with Heather Younger, Brooke Erol and Cordelia Gaffer.

Bios:

Brooke O. Erol started her career at IBM following the traditional path she was given to be "successful". She quit her "great job" on paper after 11 years, feeling she is not aligned with it. She started her journey to find her purpose in life. She started her first business in 2003 YourBestLife to help professionals who don’t like their jobs and want to find more meaning at work. After being around so many unhappy people at work as her clients, she decided to help the organizations and leaders who employed them. She started her second business Purposeful Business to help leaders catch up with our times and grow their businesses without sacrificing the well-being of their people; where profit becomes a by-product rather than the main goal . She believes life is too precious to live only for weekends and retirement.She is the author of Create a Life You Love. She is also the co-author of "From Hierarchy to High Performance: Unleashing the Hidden Superpowers of Ordinary People to Realize Extraordinary Results" that became an International Best Seller in 2018. She speaks and writes about Leadership, Purpose-Driven Life and Organizations, Future of Work in the US and abroad.

Mike and I spoke with Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D today on what was a wonderful exploration.

“When we have an inward mindset, we see ourselves as more important than others. When we see ourselves as more important than others, we see others as objects. An outward mindset is when we see others being as important as ourselves” – 23.35

“Where is the focus when we have the desires to look good, be right, avoid problems and get ahead? On ourselves. If we are a leader and we are incentivised to look good, be right, avoid problems and get ahead, where are we focused as a leader, on the person we should be least focused on as a leader” – 31.00

We are pleased to share the second of our truly hue-man conversations which included Brian Kelly, Rishita Jones, Kate Griffiths and Tanya Obeng in conversation as we had a wide-ranging conversation taking in race, leadership, education,  self-leadership and so much more.

The reason that Tanya, Brian, Rihsita, and Kate took part in this conversation was:

- “Seeing colour, seeing diversity. Too often people say that they don’t see colour and I know it is meant on a human level, but it is really about connecting with people, seeing people’s differences, appreciating peoples differences and connecting with people on a soul level   and appreciating them for who they are” -  02.00 Tanya

- “I am excited about the opportunity to expand my perspective, to help us all expand our perspectives, to listen and learn from one another, so that we can come at creating change and taking purposeful action together, from a different place” - 02.55 Brian

- “I feel that up until now people have either been active when it comes to racism and D&I or they have been neutral. I want us to move from neutral to a more active stance. I’d like us to understand our own lens, our own frame of reference which shapes our thinking, our beliefs and our actions and I want to go deeper than that as we are all human beings with passions, dreams and desires. We all want to be heard, seen & felt” – 04.00 Rishita

- “On the back of a HumansFirst call, I love those calls, but I recognised that my soul was yearning for deeper connection which isn’t as easy to obtain when there are 40 or 50 or 60 people in a call so this really seemed to be heaven sent and when we are processing such complex set of emotions such as shame and all those other things that have come up recently, the way to heal is through more intimate gatherings where we can be ourselves and be open to learn” – 05.20 Kate
