Last week I did 2 talks to NRL senior management, coaches and support staff which was all part of a mental health and well being initiative, I was there wearing a Black Dog Institute hat. Day 1 I did a talk on meditation, this was the last talk of the day at 6pm which followed hot on the heals of an hour long talk by a psychologist about suicide – no mean feat; took a bit of energy to raise the mood but the talk was well received.
Day 2 I did a talk on life, purpose and balance. I was actually a little worried that they might find this a bit twee but the 90% male audience lapped it up which was truly satisfying. I’ve been so impressed with initiatives that have been kicked off by the NRL in bringing a little understanding to it’s players and staff.
Omwards and Upwards!!!
