E051 Look After Your Mental Health with Rosie Tressler OBE

In this episode, we dive into the topic of mental health and well-being. As Chief Executive of the charity Student Minds, Rosie shares with us why she feels it is important to be both inclusive and relevant as a leader and how she prioritises her own health & well-being. We also explore the importance of having a joined-up approach to mental health and how the charity’s mental health charter is helping universities achieve this.

KEY TAKEAWAY

“For me, leadership is about being courageous. That means you don't always take the easy option, it means sometimes you do things, or you have to convey things that aren’t popular, or will disappoint some people. And it means you have to be willing to sit with dealing with a lot of risk, but not let that stop you from doing and advocating for the things that you know, right.”
