Resilience For Your Speaking Business

Our guest this week is Dr. Marie-Helene Pelletier, better known to her colleagues as ‘MH’ or ‘Dr. P’ (which is a lot easier for me to pronounce!). Dr. P holds both a PhD and an MBA from the University of British Columbia and teaches leadership resilience in the UBC School of Business. Dr. P is a leadership resilience and workplace mental health expert. She is an award-winning work psychologist who has led workplace mental health strategy in senior leadership roles at various organizations including Sun Life Financial. She’s a past Director on the boards of the Canadian Psychological Association and the International Association of Applied Psychology and an active member of the Global Clinical Practice Network of the World Health Organization. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Pelletier!”

Questions: • Given your combined background in business and psychology and expertise in Resilience, how is resilience particularly important for Speakers now in their business? • Even if many Speakers are the main, often the only person in their business, how should they think about Workplace Mental Health? • What would be the top strategies for Speakers to implement to increase and protect their resilience and mental health? • Many have used the past year to review our values and goals – how can this positively influence how Speakers take their next steps in their business?
