Diversity & Inclusion Success Begins with Mental Health – 2020 (Actionable!)
Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how to diversity and inclusion are influenced by mental health.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to explain why I think that mental health should be addressed as the foundation of diversity and inclusion efforts in the workplace.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Diversity and Inclusion is a popular topic that’s frequently making headlines. Companies are doing their best with diversity and inclusion training to address things like stereotypes and biases in order to make sure everyone feels included and supported.
But I would argue that something is still missing and that thing is addressing the mental health of those in the workplace. I believe that mental health is the forgotten part of D&I. And to really succeed with diversity and inclusion best practices, we need to make mental health awareness the base of it. Here’s why:
People challenges and mental health challenges go hand-in-hand
Delegation efforts are impacted by your mental health and unknown biases
Addressing your mental health helps you become more self-aware which is a key to fixing diversity and inclusion in the workplace
Fear of offending others can stem from stereotypes and biases we don’t realize that we have
There is a mistaken belief that therapists are just for those struggling with a diagnosed mental health disorder. In reality, a therapist can help in many ways as I discuss in the video.
Mental health impacts both productivity and profitability. Making sure that your people are emotionally well will go a long way in helping you get your diversity and inclusion efforts off the ground.
In short, this video will give you a few actionable ways that you can address mental health to improve D&I efforts.

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how a corporate drumming event can help facilitate leadership and team building within your organization (step-by-step).
In fact, in this video, I’m going to show you exactly what happens at one of my corporate drumming workshops.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Engagement often spells the difference between success and failure when it comes to corporate team building events. But, it can be tricky to get a room full of people with different personalities, interests, and skills to engage in the same activity. However, this is exactly what I focus on accomplishing through my corporate drumming events.
While your employees work together throughout the corporate team building activities and games they are also learning important leadership development lessons. By using the drums I’m able to talk with your group about important leadership topics like building an environment of trust, handling confrontation, communication, the importance of listening, and cooperation. The games and activities that I take the group through allow them to put these skills into practice with each other right off the bat.
You’ll get an understanding of the level of interaction and engagement that takes place during the team building session. This video is proof that a drumming event is not your regular boring old team building event. And, you don’t need to worry about your group having a love for music or any prior drumming experience because this event allows anyone and everyone to participate.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways that your team will benefit from a corporate drumming event in 2019.

Youth & Children’s Mental Health Speaker: ANGRY CHILD OUTBURSTS!
Also, check out this video: “Anger Management: How to Control Anger – 2019 – (Actionable!)”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUxbiqfNu8w
–~–
http://www.TransformingStigma.com In this video, mental health speaker Mike Veny answers questions about being a child and having angry outbursts. He reminds us that sometimes, their is NOTHING that you can do for someone when they are in a bad place. However, a long term commitment to therapy is essential for helping youth and children in crisis.
When it comes to children’s mental health, more services, especially support systems of care, are available than ever before, but children still aren’t getting all the help that they need. More effort still needs to be put forth regarding children’s mental health awareness.
According to that National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 4 million youth struggle with serious mental health challenges that increase problems at home, school, with peers, and overall development. 21 percent of children between the ages of 9 and 17 have a diagnosable mental health or addictive challenge that will cause them difficulties at some level. Of that 21 percent, only 4 percent get help. Left untreated, these mental health issues become significantly worse as children get older.
50 percent of the lifetime cases of mental health challenges begin by age 14. Regardless of effective treatment, people wait a long time (many years) between the first sign of a problem and when they receive treatment. Sometimes this is due to stigma. Sometimes this is due to a lack of resources. Sometimes it’s a combination of the two.
Mike Veny is a youth and children’s mental health speaker who speaks at conferences and events throughout the world to raise awareness about children’s mental health. He’s extremely passionate about speaking at events during children’s mental health awareness week (and month). He enjoys helping young people who were like him. Growing up is tough. Growing up with additional challenges is even tougher.

“Depression & Masculinity with OC87 Recovery Diaries – 2020 (True Story)
Also, check out this video: “Anger Management: How to Control Anger – 2019 – (Actionable!)”

–~–
http://www.OC87RecoverYDiaries.com/mike-veny/ Mike Veny, weight lifter, professional musician, ted talker, and mental health keynote speaker, has something to say about what it means to be a real man with mental health issues. As anyone who has ever been afflicted by issues with mental health or has been the friend, family member, or loved one of someone who has suffered due to their issues with mental health can attest to, to hear Mike Veny speak is to hear some very real, very raw, and very poignant talk on the matter. Mike has made it his personal mission to not only talk about mental health issues and how they have affected his life but also to let his listeners know just how he has overcame and continues to overcome and to be an advocate for mental health awareness. He does this through traveling around the world as motivational and inspirational mental health speaker.
In his early years Veny was repeatedly expelled from school due to behavior problems and spent time in a psychiatric hospital on three different occasions. Veny admits that in his childhood the ‘real men’ he idolized were thugs, tough guys, and trouble makers, who in retrospect were more than likely suffering from mental health issues of their own. Anger, Veny says, is a common disguise for depression among men. Veny contends that this is especially true in a society in which many men are struggling to determine just what a healthy sense of masculinity is.
Mike says he has accepted that his battle with depression and anxiety may be an ongoing one and emphasizes that he only wants to be in control of his life. As a professional drummer, he uses his talent for personal therapy, reaching out to others, and for his continuing advocacy for understanding mental health issues. As a mental health keynote speaker some may find it odd that Veny never wanted to be a speaker in the first place. Mike says he’s far more interested in people not dying and only wants to be a disruption that will get people talking about mental health. Until the suicide rate drops to zero, Mike assures, he won’t close his mouth about mental health.
He is honored to have had the opportunity to work with OC87 Recovery Diaries to release this video on depression and masculinity.
How to Address Reopening Anxiety in the Workplace
Today I’m going to share some thoughts on what your workplace needs to do for employee mental wellness when reopening during the pandemic.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to break down some of the biggest concerns that companies are facing with employee mental health as they reopen and some of the most important things to consider.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
When it comes to workplace mental health and emotional wellness right now, people are all across the spectrum. People struggled pre-coronavirus and now there are even more mental health challenges facing the workforce.
Everyone has experienced trauma at this point and there are different levels of anxiety. Some people believe everyone should be wearing face masks. Others believe it’s unnecessary. Some are ready for the world to reopen and others think we need to be waiting longer.
Here’s the thing—there is no right or wrong in this situation. We’re all figuring it out as we go. People have experienced loss. Loss of loved ones, income, social life, and being in the world. Everyone has a unique situation. Keeping this in mind can make all the difference as you have conversations with those around you.
And companies have the opportunity to move forward while creating a culture that supports employees. One way to do this is by focusing on workplace mental health and wellness.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to support your employees during the reopening phase in 2020.
