“Self-understanding is absolutely key to be able to move forward in any interpersonal situations.” Kerry Howard talks about self-understanding on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“When we know that somebody has a personal problem going on, it’s impossible for that not to affect their work. These are things that are normally going to affect how a person shows up everyday, their mood, their behaviour, and how do we approach that in a supportive way while trying to make adjustments rather than just ignoring it and pretending it’s not going to impact the workplace.” Mental health in the workplace with Kerry Howard on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“Your business doesn’t exist without your people. Taking the time to understand who they are as individuals, and consult with them whenever you make changes that are gonna impact their working life are not just nice things to do – it’s essential.” People-first culture in the workplace with Kerry Howard on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
