*Lessons from the National Men's Health Gathering*
This week I've been alongside leaders from across the sector of men's health and wellbeing planning, sharing and connecting
Here's a couple of things I've taken away
1. Stories are the business đź‘Ś
I listened to dozens of speakers and leaders doing amazing things for boys and men's health
They ALL knew their s**t. All of them.
But the difference between those I remembered and those I won't are those who told their stories
Heartbreaking, moving, inspiring and real
Emotion moves people to action and stories evoke emotion
2. Go where you're appreciated
I get dozens of hateful comments on my socials and have been in rooms with people who just didn't get what I'm doing
Here, people got it and they got me.
They're on the same page and when I shared my story and my work, they hugged me, thanked me and asked how they could help.
3. Winning is a team sport
Everyone who had achieved great things in this sector had teams of collaborators, contributors and partners.
The great things were done by those who knew how to enrol others in what they're doing
Find your team and you'll win bigger and faster
