- Management
Join Amy in this episode as she speaks to coach Gail David. Gail is the Cofounder of TheCreators2030 UN SDGs, Arts & Youth Initiative. , which is an international platform to connect governments, citizens, NGOs and more to collaborate on how to save the planet.
Amy and Gail talk about the role of mental health and wellbeing in work spaces, the importance of personal responsibility and of course her work with youth and leaders as president of TheCreators2030 UN SDGs, Arts & Youth Initiative. .
KEY TAKEAWAYS
At a young age, Gail realised she could easily talk to anyone anywhere. She was a people watcher too and soon recognised how useful her communication skills were. She began to feel that she could help bring people together through art, as she could see that no matter who you are or where you are from, art can speak to you.
If you can’t look after your wellbeing or mental health then it’s very difficult to survive in this world.
We need to uplift each other as a world. How you uplift is different across cultures and socioeconomic background, this is why music and the arts is so powerful because it can cross these divides.
Some challenges we face aren’t down to are our own doing or under our own control. When this happens we have to remember that they are dealing with their own issues and projecting them onto you. A lot of this is also created by society, if we weren’t always pitted against each other in competition then a lot of these problems wouldn’t arise, particularly in a work environment.
It’s important to be in the now. You need to be present in order to create and plan your future.
What drives competitiveness rather than collaboration is insecurity and bad habits. Whenever you feel the drive of competiveness, ask yourself why this is.
When you are secure within yourself and your work you will happily praise anyone and everyone who does good work. If you hold back on this or bad mouth others then that means you have insecurities you need to work on.
When you know your own humanity, you can recognise it in others.
BEST MOMENTS
“We’re nurturers, but it’s important we nurture ourselves too”
“If you don’t have mental health, and you don’t have food and these basic things you can’t solve anything”
“I’m not being careful with what I say because at this age I don’t give a damn what people think”
“Anytime you need to be competitive to out-do someone else there’s an insecurity”
"Know your purpose in life, get paid for what you do and then give back to others"
