Being a Small Business owner brings many challenges and a need to be mentally fit. Many of us manage our way through the day to day, yet how many of us actually understand what being Mentally Fit is. Even more important is understanding why it is vital to your organisation’s success. In this Episode’s Hero story, I chat with Emily Johnson, a psychologist and consultant who works with individuals to provide not just a compliance approach to mental fitness but a very practical and supportive one.
