Kindness starts with you.

Here are a few simple ways to spread kindness today:

Smile at a stranger.

Send a message of appreciation.

Take time to rest.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind ❤️

Staff turnover dropped to just 8%, compared to the national average of 34% in one small business that proactively embedded neuroinclusion.

(Birkbeck University research, Prof. McDowall March 2025).

The findings were clear:

Inclusive environments benefit everyone

Regular neurodiversity training is essential

Line managers play a key role in creating psychological safety

Adjustments shouldn’t depend on a formal diagnosis

External support can make inclusion sustainable, even for small teams

I am really looking forward to the final cut.

Healthy Minds Matter recently recorded our episode for the Centurions podcast with .bark.731 Chester, on our business and entrepreneurial journey as Healthy Minds Matter.

We discussed how we came to be, what we've learned, our successes, and plans for the future.

We will share it with you when it is live.

This week, I caught up with the lovely Sarah Pearson in her beautiful Boutique salon in the heart of Cheshire.

We hadn’t seen each other since our college days, back when I was the Specialist Mental Health Teacher and Sarah was teaching Beauty.

Sarah's been busy developing her own organic skincare range inspired by nature and treated me to an impromptu facial using her products, leaving me feeling totally rejuvenated.

It's so inspiring to see someone turn their passion into purpose.

I had such a warm welcome at Wirral Met College last night as a guest speaker for HR students.

We explored the impact of change on people’s mental health and how best to support staff who are neurodiverse through transitions.

The group was so engaging and enthusiastic about their subject, it was a real pleasure!

Thank you to Atina Ndindeng MSc.MAPGCE, BA.BSc MCIPD and Amy Jones for the invitation.

How lucky am I, not only did I get the No.1 Amazon best seller Business Forum,

How To Write Your Best Business Book

by Dr. Nicola Russell Johnson and Peter Russell, but I also got a signed copy!

Their presentation was really insightful and full of practical tips. I’m looking forward to reading it.

If you missed it, they’ll be diving even deeper at the Chester Brunch Club hosted by at on Tuesday, 4th November.

We really enjoyed meeting the The Lord Mayor of Chester last week.

We talked about mental health, the importance of supporting our local communities and strengthening mental health support.

She is truly inspiring !

World Mental Health Day 🌍

It’s not only today, it’s every day!

Your mental health affects everything: your mood, your relationships, even your productivity. Yet it’s often the first thing we neglect when life gets busy.

Studies show that talking about your emotions helps reduce the body’s stress response and improves emotional resilience.

Fact: Good mental health improves focus, decision-making, and even boosts your immune system.

Let’s make mental well-being part of our everyday conversation, not just today.

When employees come to work but are not fully functioning because of illness or stress, that’s presenteeism. It often costs more than absenteeism, yet it’s far less visible.

Why it can cost more than absenteeism.

It can lead to lower productivity per hour: Sick or stressed employees rarely work at full capacity. Mistakes, slower performance, lower creativity etc.

Worsening health and longer recovery: Pushing through sickness often prolongs illness, which may lead to more serious problems, more time off later, or chronic issues.

-------------------------------------

My name is Andrea and I help organisations reduce the cost of presenteeism and build mentally healthy workplaces through mental health & neurodiversity coaching, training, workshops and audits.
