Harnessing Happiness with Sarah J Naylor is an upbeat, energetic, and inspiring podcast filled with joy and laughter, wisdom, philosophies, and positive psychology.
During this powerful episode Sarah chats to Stephen, Steve, or Steph (it depends on the day!) J Whitton about everything that has led to him to now feeling:
“Positive about the future, having chosen the path of hope”
As you will discover, from a childhood where he felt lonely after the arrival of new siblings, to being a long, greasy haired teenager with spots and glasses, to supressing his pan-sexual curiosity, marrying and having a wonderful family to the pandemic and the crash of his 2 companies and his family life that led him to suicidal thoughts, Stephen really does give the listener a snapshot of his mental health journey right up to present day.
Together Sarah and Stephen discuss the importance of identifying with and being your true self, when stuff is supressed it causes health issues .. predominantly mental health issues. Which is why he founded [M]enable, a global movement for mental health support in the Automotive Sector which is male dominated and an arena he knows well having had a successful career spanning 35 years in the industry: from Salesman to Executive Director. He is a renowned authority on employee well-being to achieve results.
As he states on his website: [M]enable was created on the back of Stephen’s own struggles, with a clear purpose and mission – to change cultures in male dominated and performance driven businesses, enabling the Mental Health stigma to be removed. Wanting leaders to embrace the ethos that when people feel good about themselves, they perform better, Stephen’s mantra is:
“Positive employee outcomes = positive customer outcomes = positive business outcomes”.
This truly is an insightful, engaging, uplifting, powerful episode. One which will have your skin tingle and leave you laughing out loud in equal measure. Inspiring, engaging and oh so positive too!
