Mental health remains a pressing issue across industries, but the construction industry stands out in an alarming way. 77% of employees say that they experience burnout at their current job. At best, this means increased sick days and reduced productivity in companies. At worst, this means an increased risk of suicide, with the construction industry having a suicide rate 4.5 times higher than the general public. This is unacceptable. The construction industry and the trades experience uniquely challenging work conditions such as long hours, job uncertainty, and harsh working environments. This takes a toll on both the mental and physical health of employees, and often leads to unhealthy coping strategies, such as abusing alcohol and drugs to cope with stress. As men, it's often difficult to admit when we need to take a break, and even more difficult to admit when we need support. I've found that having candid conversations goes a long, long way, and I've seen first hand the change that comes from it on more occasions than I can count.It takes courage to admit that you're struggling, and it opens up a space for others to do the same. Research shows that companies who invest in effective mental health solutions receive $2.18 for every dollar spent.

We live in an era where technology has connected us in more ways than ever before, yet the human connection, the one that truly matters, often eludes us. We find ourselves in a paradoxical situation: amid all the likes, shares, and comments, genuine emotional understanding and empathy can be in short supply. It's as if we've forgotten how to truly connect with each other on a deeply emotional level.Dr. Mark Goulston is an American psychiatrist, keynote speaker, executive coach and consultant who has worked with fortune 500 companies, universities and other organisations. Mark was the UCLA professor of psychiatry for over 25 years, is a former FBI and police hostage negotiation trainer, is the author of nine books, and the host of the highly rated podcast, My Wakeup Call.

The balance between ambition and being present is a delicate dance that many individuals find themselves navigating in today's fast-paced world. Ambition drives us to set goals, achieve milestones, and reach for new heights, which is undoubtedly a valuable trait. However, the pursuit of ambition can sometimes lead to a state of perpetual striving, where the focus shifts to the future and the next achievement, leaving the present moment neglected.Being present, on the other hand, involves immersing oneself in the here and now, fully engaging with the current experience. It's about savoring life's small moments, cultivating mindfulness, and finding contentment in the present circumstances. The challenge arises when these two seemingly opposing forces intersect.Striking a balance between ambition and being present requires a mindful approach. It's about recognizing that while ambition propels us forward, the journey itself is equally valuable. Being present doesn't mean giving up on goals; rather, it involves infusing intention and awareness into each step taken towards those goals.Mindful ambition involves setting objectives, working diligently towards them, and yet maintaining an awareness of the present moment. It's finding joy in the process and celebrating progress along the way. This balance prevents burnout, nurtures mental well-being, and fosters a sense of fulfillment.Ultimately, embracing both ambition and presence allows for a more holistic and enriched life. By intertwining these two aspects, individuals can pursue their ambitions with vigor while also cultivating a deeper connection to the richness of life as it unfolds in each moment.Today’s guest discusses strategies in finding such a balance. Lauren Barirani is a registered clinical counsellor with experience working with children, youth, and adults.

The relationship between financial wellbeing and mental health is a delicate balance that profoundly impacts our lives. Financial struggles can cast shadows of stress and anxiety, while stability can lift our mindset with a sense of security. This connection is not one-sided. Just as financial challenges can harm mental health, mental health issues can lead to financial missteps, creating a cycle. Roughly 46 percent of people with debt also have a mental health diagnosis - it is clear we need to do more. The key lies in embracing a holistic approach that nurtures both aspects. Seeking help for mental health is wise, just as consulting a financial advisor is for money management. True financial wellbeing involves living within your means, setting achievable goals, and understanding that happiness isn't solely tied to wealth.The intertwining of financial wellbeing and mental health is a crucial aspect of our lives. By tending to both, we can create a balance that resonates with our sense of purpose and builds resilience. It's about empowering yourself to navigate challenges while taking care of your wellbeing beyond monetary measures.Today’s guests, Eleni Prontzos and Bryn Swayze are focused on helping bridge the gap between financial and mental health. They came into the financial industry wanting to make a meaningful, long-term impact in the lives of Clients and their loved ones.

There are endless issues surrounding mental health in companies.When comparing industry rates of mental illness, the construction industry sticks out like a sore thumb. 77% of employees say they have experienced burnout in their current job. At best, mental health issues lead to more sick days and reduce company productivity. At worst, it can lead an increased risk of suicide with the construction industry having a suicide rate 4.5 times higher than the general public. This needs to change. I am really excited to share we you our first construction industry forum discussion with: Angelina Pillai: Chief Executive Officer at Association of Consulting ArchitectsJohn Toomey: Founder of Wide Awake WellnessLisa Davie: Project Engineer at Lendlease Martin Smith: Group General Manager of Health, Sustainability and Climate at John HollandWe discussed a number of issues, such as the state of mental health in the construction industry, impacts of Covid and the ongoing challenge of improving mental health & wellbeing in the industry. And finally, A huge thank you to Lendlease for sponsoring this podcast.I hope you enjoy! ...This is the 12th episode of the Brick by Brick series. This series was launched due to the positive reaction to the construction series and is proudly sponsored by Lendlease. We will be interviewing a range of people from the industry and will be discussing a range of topics such as the state of mental health in the industry.Australia loses one construction worker every two days to suicide & more than 20% of the construction industry are shown to have had a mental health condition. These figures are made even more compelling as it is an industry that employs 10% of the working population. We feel this podcast will play an important role in creating conversations and awareness. Our goal is to change the construction industry, one conversation at time....A huge thank you to our sponsor Lendlease for all of the work they are doing in mental health.

We've been conditioned to believe that strength is all about suppressing emotions, staying stoic, and never showing vulnerability. But what if we challenge that belief and offer a new perspective, giving people, especially men, permission to feel. Emotion plays a significant role in how we connect with others, how we lead, and how we make choices.We live in a society that sometimes overemphasizes certain traits based on gender. But true strength, as brilliantly put by Dr. Brene Brown, is the perfect combination of tough and tender. It's about being courageous enough to embrace vulnerability and connect with our emotions. That's what makes us truly powerful.The following was derived from a TED talk delivered by my next guest, Mike Cameron. Mike has traveled across North America, delivering his powerful message on giving people, especially men, permission to feel. With over two decades of studying the impact of emotions on human behavior, he's a business leader and a sales professional who knows how crucial it is to connect with our feelings.Mike's journey led him to study the works of experts like Dr. Antonio Demasio, Dr. Travis Bradbury, Dan Goman, and the renowned Dr. Brene Brown, just to name a few. He learned that emotions play a vital role in how we make decisions and connect with one another, both personally and professionally.But Mike's journey took a tragic turn when he faced the unimaginable loss of his girlfriend, Colleen. In the face of such adversity, he discovered that true strength lies not in suppressing emotions but in embracing vulnerability and learning from our feelings.Mike urges us to redefine what it means to be a badass, to dismantle the outdated stereotypes, and give ourselves permission to feel and be courageous enough to face our emotions head-on.You can learn more about Mike here: https://mikecameron.ca/...
