EP019: Special Guest Emma Dechoux, Inspired Learning

Liz & Keds talk to Emma about how she's helping create conversations on mental health in the workplace.

Passionate about helping individuals be the best they can be, Emma set up Inspired learning to inspire people to achieve the results they want through engaging and interactive workshops, programmes and coaching.

Adding to the suite of training the team do, Emma who's a mental health First Aider has included a series of wellbeing and resilience face to face and e-learning workshops. The aim of these workshops is to provide learners with the knowledge to identify suspected mental health conditions whether it's their own or colleagues and the skills to start conversations and be able to signpost the person towards professional help.

Many business and workplaces have mental health help included in their health care package, although many employees don't know they can access mental health services like counselling through their work.

If you'd like to know more about Emma and the work that Inspired Learning does, you can find all links and details on Inspired Learning's Link Tree Page which includes links to the Inspiring Leaders facebook group Emma talked about, and links to their website and social media.

Kedren Elliott

My name is Kedren, yes Kedren (my name is a bit strange, like myself).

I'm currently finishing my final year's training to become a counsellor and work at North Staffs Mind.
I'm also someone who has struggled with my mental health and lived with friends and family who have also faced challenges.

Through the happiness hub, I really want to help as many people as I can to find ways to live happier. It doesn't have to be complicated, there are little things we can do every day to help with our mental health and feel happier.

So that's a bit about me, but you can find out more by listening to our Hub Podcast!

Liz Parkin

I'm Liz, Kedren's podcasting side-kick, close friend and gin-buddy for over 10 years.

My mental health challenges started in my early teens and continued through a rather traumatic year in 2004.

It was at this point that I discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) which quite literally changed my life - or maybe my perception on life...

In this podcast I will share with you some of the tips and techniques that I learned whilst training for my NLP Practitioner and then Master Practitioner over 14 years ago. NLP got me through some very dark times and given me a bag of mindset tools and strategies to help me keep my mental health, well... healthy!
