We are facing the greatest global pandemic of all time. Burnout, anxiety, stress is at an all-time high. People are the greatest asset of an organisation. The better people look after themselves, the better they perform in all areas of life - both at work and home. Every single tiny choice we make during the day is shaping our lives, directly impacting how we feel and experience life. After getting the biggest wakeup call of losing everything in my life in 2016 I had no choice but to face my habits and make a change. The changes at first seemed so insignificant that I didn't believe they would make a difference. BUT they did.  The Positive Habits Podcast is for people who want to live a better life, with higher energy levels, less stress, better relationships and ultimately to supercharge their performance in all areas of life. I'm on a mission to help people improve their wellbeing with one small habit change. KEY TAKEAWAYS In the recently published Mental State of the World 2023 Report where 71 countries were surveyed, the UK came second lowest which reinforces the knowledge that we already have that a lot of people are struggling with their mental health and their wellbeing. It’s such an exciting time we’re living in where there’s so many opportunities and so much information out there to do business, learn, grow, improve ourselves. Yet, people are more stress, overwhelmed and exhausted that ever before. There’s a huge gap between talking about mental health, wellbeing, resilience, how we feel – which is a brilliant development, especially in industries where historically it’s been ignored – and doing something about it. Looking at the report it’s clear that there are a number of areas, for organisations and us individually, where we could make some small changes that would have a huge ripple affect on us professionally and personally. BEST MOMENTS “One of the challenges we’re facing is we’re living in a ‘always on’ world.” “Advice has got to be practical, it’s why each guest on the podcast shares the one habit that’s made a difference to them and why.” “The top three reasons for bad mental health and wellbeing are: The smartphone, increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, and the lack of family bonds.” “It’s really hard sometimes to make healthy decisions when it comes to food.” Mental State of the World Report 2023 ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life’ price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit, and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself.  She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.  LinkedIn Instagram
