Tailored Presentations
Anne doesn’t believe that ‘one size fits all’ especially in leadership and mental health. Your organisation has its own painpoints and aspirations and Anne will tailor her presentations to meet your needs.
Building leaders mental health conversation and communication skills
Underlying Anne’s work is her conviction that leaders need self -awareness and self-management to build a psychologically safe culture.

Service #2
Conversations with Leaders
Anne leads conversations with your key leaders and interactively engages the audience
Anne leads conversations with your key leaders and interactively engages the audience.
Mental health conversations should not be scary. They ought to be a part of everyday work and family life. So, what holds us back?
Anne’s view is that we worry about what to say and how to help. We want to be sure that what we say and do is based on the best research and delivers the right support. Anne will alleviate your concerns.
She shares her own story of living with mental ill health while still forging a successful career. She engages your leaders in a discussion about how leaders can support people individually and develop best practice mental health strategies in the workplace.
Conversations with leaders about mental health in their workplace
Anne says:
Mental health challenges run in my family, but we never spoke about it. I know families that are still like that … and organisations.
I wish someone had talked to me 30 years ago when I was struggling at work – but they didn’t know how.
Service #3
Executive Briefings
Executive Briefings
Highly customized, concise and focussed dialogue with key decision makers.
The Executive set the tone. Their tangible and visible support will make or break mental health and wellbeing initiatives. They play a key role in creating a psychologically safe workplace and culture where mental ill-health is seen as treatable and often preventable. Not doing this well is a major risk issue. Anne will spotlight the evidence, risk and protective factors and work with the Executive to identify key best practice interventions.
Service #4
Small Group Workshops
Small group workshops
Build knowledge and actionable practical skills, not just theory
Influencers and leaders are powerful role models. Anne designs her highly interactive workshops to improve mental health literacy, and delve deep into practical skills and techniques that leaders, influencers and teams can use working from anywhere.
Whether your program is a short term intervention or part of a longer term mentally healthy workplace development strategy, (the more sustainable option), your program will be constructed on the basis of a thorough understanding of your goals and desired outcomes, what Anne knows works based on her hundreds of proven programs, and tested business education principles.
Participants will be energised and equipped to lead and support mental health strategies for individuals, teams and whole systems. In short, they become champions and catalysts for change.
Service #5
Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid
Train selected employees to become Mental Health First Aiders and provide essential support to employees developing a mental health issue or who are in a mental health crisis

As an MHFA Instructor, Anne can train your team leaders to become Mental Health First Aiders.
They will learn about:
- Signs and symptoms of common and disabling mental health problems in adults
- How to provide initial help until professional support is received or the crisis resolves
- Where and how to get professional help

Are you ready?
Upskill your leaders and teams
Leaders are key influencers in the mental health and wellbeing of their employees. Yet leaders are often reticent to have mental health conversations in case they ‘get it wrong’, ‘make it worse’, or simply do not know what to do or say.
Anne’s presentations address these concerns and instill leaders with the confidence, skills and competence to protect, enhance and support employee mental health.
