72% of entrepreneurs are affected directly or indirectly by mental health issues. Paul provides a unique viewpoint as he talks about his own breakdown and how entrepreneurs need to prioritize their own mental and emotional wellbeing. Paul Marks is the Founder & CEO at Healthy Returns, a diverse, empowered community of like-minded leaders and founders who have come together to fight mental health stigma and raise awareness for founders who are struggling to maintain their mental wellbeing.
Paul has spent 19 years in people strategy, workplace culture creation and organisational health, working with people and organisations to build happy, healthy and high growth cultures. He is constantly learning, evolving and working on his own mental health to enhance his life and work. This appetite to improve himself has made him want to inspire others to become a better version of themselves through better resilience and mental wellbeing.
Passionate about building high performing people and future leaders, Paul is also the founder of Leaders of Growth, a coaching and personal development company. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
