Your thoughts and your emotions affect your work, no matter how much you pretend that you can leave them at the door of your workplace. It's easy to deny your own experience the importance it deserves, especially if it's only inside your own head. But boxing it all away because you have "work to do" is like trying to run a marathon while carrying a Labrador Retriever.

It doesn't have to be that way. This talk will teach you how to frame your world using experiential language rather than clinical language, giving you a powerful tool to discuss your mental health in a way that can be easily felt and understood - and that won't get you in trouble with HR. That sharing becomes the key that unlocks the true power of your team... so come find out how to finally bring your whole self to work!

This talk is more focused than a general mental health talk, and is centered around the central point that you can and should talk to other people about what's going on in your head, whether you have a mental health diagnosis or not. I spend a lot more time make the case for why it's important for you personally, and how to fight the hesitations and what-ifs that tend to crop up.

I have had some very positive feedback on this talk - one of my favorites was "There were many sessions that taught me things. But Arthur's made me a better person."
