The new leadership principles that put mental health first

When Mark Butler experienced burnout, his body threw in the towel but neglected to tell his brain! Mark’s subsequent recovery sparked a pivot into mental health and a passion for helping others which now sees him work with leaders, teams and organisations to help them recognise, anticipate and recover from burnout. With COVID putting mental health front and centre, Mark offers leadership strategies based around providing support over solutions.
