A really moving story of grinding it out and going from suicidal to CEO.
Struggling with with #panicdisorder, #anxiety and #depression Andrew had a stomach full of pills & a gun in his mouth. Supported by his wife, he dug deep, confronted his problems. Now as CEO at Heard he's changing how therapists connect with one other. buff.ly/2Xb6b81

What's sad about Twitter layoffs is that the chaos and fear for those that stayed will work to make the company more productive. It's just morally bankrupt. #LoveWhereYouWorked
Have conducted many layoffs in the past and Twitter’s effort is as callous and bumbling as it gets. I can help Twitter employees find somewhere healthy. DM me to talk about coaching. #LoveWhereYouWorked

Does a learning disability mean being forever "behind"? Not for @AnneGessel in fact in her work as a Learning Consultant at Ignite Consulting, it has some major advantages. buff.ly/3icfQnh
I asked the audience at my @BeChooseCause talk "Do you know someone personally with a mental illness?" 100% said yes. Mental illness is around us everyday, at our church, our gym or our workplace. Meet them in the Silent Superheroes podcast. j.mp/3kb3FZq #mentalillness
What do you learn from outing your #mentalillness to the listeners to your radio show? Answer : things get better when you talk about it. Thanks @davidoziborg .
It takes courage to tell your coworkers you experience #anxiety & #depression. Radio DJ David Borg Newton found the courage to tell the audience of his prestigious breakfast show and discovered talking about it was part of healing. #mentalhealthatwork buff.ly/3jFdUpg

Privileged to meet Jim Ngyuen & have him share his amazing journey with #adhd. Was a little star struck to learn he'd studied under Buddhist legend @thichnhathanh and amazed at the impact mindfulness had on his ADHD. Cool that he found a career to use it. j.mp/2RW7OEC
