In this second part, we continue diving deep into the essential topic of mental health and support for our armed forces and ex-armed forces with Paul Minter from Head Up Charity. In the 2 Part podcast, alongside the conversation of mental health, we explore different forms of trauma and share valuable insights on how to manage it, and how to offer a helping hand to anyone who has experienced trauma, in particular childhood trauma with Kharina Kharran.

After 18 years of service in the Army, with 5 frontline tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, Paul Minter joined us to talk about his own experience when medically discharged due to PTSD in November 2020. After self-treating with multiple good daily habits, Paul started to help others and eventually set up a full not for profit charity with other veterans to help more people in the Armed Forces Community. To kickstart the charity with awareness and funding Paul set a new world record running 5,000 miles around the coastline of the UK in 7 months, averaging 30 miles a day! Paul is now the CEO of Head Up Charity, delivering positive mindset training and setting up a residual retreat for veterans.

RISK AND BUSINESS: Money V Education, which one would lead to better security?

Join Mike Gillespie, Advent IM, and Robert Allen, Kingston Technology as they discuss the changes to working life and how they have led to  a much more mobile workforce, using technologies that are new to many.  To make this work securely everyone needs to be on board from the C-suite onward. Whilst there may be a reported increase in cyber security spend, that does not necessarily mean that businesses will therefore be more secure… How do we mold education to change insecure behaviours and how do we make security more appetising and appealing to engage with at the leadership strata?

Have you had a chance to listen to our special edition podcast?

Listen in to hear about the journey of Advent IM: why it started, how it started, who was involved and what plans we have for the future!

“When we first envisioned Advent IM 20 years ago, we looked around us at how the consultancy world conducted its business and promised to be different. To engage with our client partners openly, honestly, collaboratively, and transparently. We remain fully committed to this ethos.

When we reflect on the last 20 years, we wonder at how significantly the world has changed since we were a small start-up in an Enterprise Centre. Cyber has entered the mainstream; no longer a niche, the reserve of the strange world of the technogeek, and the concepts of Cyber-Physical, Convergence and Holistic Security, which we were at the forefront of, continue to be hotly discussed today.

It feels like 20 years have gone by so quickly. Some of you have been with us almost the whole journey, trusting us in the early days to fulfill our promises and continuing to trust us all these years later. Some we have come to know so well that we have developed genuine friendships. Some of you are more recent to the Advent IM brand and philosophy. To you, we say that we hope you are enjoying the journey and that in years to come, you will continue to be beside us on our journey and be an integrated part of the Advent IM family”.
