Winning In Work

005 - In this episode, Nikki chats to Rachael Conroy, Partnership Manager at Movember, the world's biggest men's health charity, as they discuss how Movember began with a group of mates in Australia and how the charity has grown over the years to tackle prostate cancer, testicular cancer and male sucide.   Rachael touches on her own personal experiences with this and what to do if you know someone who is struggling or if you yourself need help and don’t know where to turn. This is not just an episode for the men but also to discuss what the women (Mo’ Sista’s) can do to help too!   This episode is to the point and a no holds barred discussion on men’s health and how everyone needs to play a part to help save lives.   Subscribe   Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher   Resources 1) The Movember Website: https://www.movember.com/ 2) Information on the Mo Awards 2020 3) Find out about Move for Movember here: https://uk.movember.com/get-involved/move 3) Find out more about Winning in Work here: https://www.nikkithomas.me/winning-in-work-podcast Or follow us on Twitter here @WinninginWork 3 Career Takeaways 1) On working for Movember “I unfortunately have some family members who went too soon. And I believe that if they had opened up, if they'd spoken more, something could have changed and it wouldn't have to happen like that.” 2) On always being there for a friend: “If someone's going through a relationship separation, a job loss, you probably would reach out to a mate naturally, in that scenario. But actually, sometimes the big life moments that from the outside seem incredibly positive, can trigger mental health issues because people build up the expectations, and if they don't feel how they think they should be feeling, then it gets them to a place where they feel wrong about themselves.” 3) On the view of men in 2020: “I think the idea of what it means to be a man is changing and there's lots of conversations around modern masculinity and what that looks like. I think more and more men are feeling it's okay to be vulnerable at times. It's okay to open up. And particularly in a British culture, you don't have to have that kind of stoic, stiff upper lip anymore. And I think it's only through that really grassroots kind of change that we will impact further down the line and make sure that less and less people are getting to that point as well.”   A Podcast Company -  is the leading podcast production company for brands, organizati

I started to think maybe my future was going to be related to people.” 2) On Setting Goals: “We often set goals for our career and think of achievement related goals.It doesn't always occur to us to set goals for friends and family.” 3) On Finding Happiness in Work: “If you are thinking I don't know why I'm at this job. I don't know why I'm doing this - the biggest part of that is because you haven't identified how your values are linked with your company's values. And if they aren't, then you're in the wrong place.”   A Podcast Company -
