Geoff spoke with Ollie Henderson from ‘Designing the future of work’ about his time at Unilever and his work as a passionate mental health campaigner. They explored the difference between using purpose as a tool to improve business performance instead of a marketing exercise, and practical examples of how Unilever and other companies succeeded in achieving this.
They also discussed why personal struggles and the tragedy of losing a close friend inspired him to leave the corporate world and advocate for open conversations about mental health, and Geoff shared his CANDO framework – a helpful reminder of the importance of consistent habits to maintain positive physical and mental health.
