In this episode we chat with Christian Parsons, General Manager of Berries at Costa Group, Australia’s leading grower, packer and marketer of fresh fruit and vegetables. Christian trained as a psychologist and was in corporate marketing before he had a change of scene that was motivated by him connecting in with his values. He discusses his people-first leadership approach and the benefits that has to the business. He also talks about his lived experience with depression (triggered by not being his true self in the workplace), how organisations can navigate return to work from a mental injury and his strategies for looking after himself in his leadership role.
Cultivate is also the title of Cynthia Mahoney’s first book, it’s about how neuroscience and well-being can support leaders to build happier, healthier teams who are ready to thrive.
