As always, entry is completely free, but if you fancy eating at the pub on the night, make sure you book ahead with the lovely landlady Corinne O'Donnell

Always keen to get firsthand experience, Sheila wanted to put herself in the shoes of the construction workers she has been delivering talks to.

And she literally did – size 10s to be precise!

On her day off last week, Sheila went on a two-hour site visit of the High Speed Two Limited (HS2 Ltd)'s works, which included experiencing life underground in the shafts.
Under the guidance of BBV's General Foreman Dave Connolly, pictured here with a suited and booted Sheila, she said how “impressed” she was with how HS2’s management has considered the welfare of its workforce.

She said: “There were water stations everywhere, both first aiders and Mental health first aiders on site.
“There were also mirrors up, reminding people they were responsible for their own safety, which also impacts the safety of others, as well as notices saying how important it is that you are safe and stay safe for you and your loved ones.
“This is a great highlighting of self-awareness.”

Exciting landmark news incoming …
Are you ready for it?

During her amazing 10th anniversary show at the Lichfield Garrick, Sheila made an announcement…
Drum roll, please …

That, on top of marking a decade of performing at the city theatre, which also coincided with the 10th anniversary of publishing her first book, The Power of Knowing You, she is poised to release a second book.
That’s right, folks, but this time it’s an anthology of poems that Sheila’s penned across her lifetime, from her teens to the present day.

Show attendees were the first to be offered the chance to pre-order the anthology and attend the planned book launch of the poetry collection.
While Sheila included some of the poems within her show, those that weren’t at her milestone event, can get a taste of what to expect in this TikTok video, where she reads her poem entitled Time, which will be included in the book: https://www.tiktok.com/.../video/7507574354734091542...

“I loved the session, first class.”

Well, what a whirlwind last week was for Sheila.

She was back at High Speed Two Limited (HS2 Ltd) delivering no less than four talks to employees as part of the organisation’s Safety Step-Up Week, which circumvented World Mental Health Day.
And the testimonials, including above and below, from Mark Groombridge, the Health, Safety & Wellbeing Director at Balfour Beatty Vinci, are resounding.

Mark said: “We joined pre-start shift briefings, and I had one of those moments. The focus was on well-being and facilitated by Sheila McMahon, of Mind Management For You.
“At the beginning, I wasn’t sure where the session was going; it’s something completely different, and it felt very different to me. Different from what I am used to seeing and hearing at site briefings.
“At the end of the session, I could see the impact and energy in the room. Brilliant idea, excellent to watch and see.
“Hearing 100 people singing Sweet Caroline just after 07:00 was something else. I loved it !! Well done, Ryan Gooseman and Rorcon Limited, a great initiative.”

If you’d also like to experience the power of Sheila’s talks, there’s a once-a-year-only chance to see her perform her Mental Health Show at the Lichfield Garrick this Friday at 7.45pm.
