Yesterday we were honoured to have Brock McLean speak to our staff about his life. Brock was everything we needed him to be, painfully honest, beautifully flawed, engaging, inspiring and held our small group in the palm of his hand. Although I don’t know Brock, I couldn’t help feeling so proud of him and his willingness and efforts to make a better life. Some feedback from our attendees include the following comments; "His raw and open approach, coupled with his down to earth communication had me hanging off his every word and I’d imagine he would be an enormous inspiration to anyone going through a similar experience, in fact I think he’s just an amazing inspiration full stop. What a journey; mental health, alcohol and drugs. There was certainly things in there we can use in our Peer Support dealings not to mention our everyday lives." "He is so wise, continues to learn and grow, whilst fully accepting his past. An amazing role model and inspiration." "I genuinely wish all of our speakers had that impact, emotional intelligence and ability to give those tips on what worked and what didn't etc." "I can't say it’s too often that I read the lunch and learn bios and think wow you're someone amazing that I want to hear talk but this one nailed it." Brock, sincere thanks for sharing your story with us. It takes courage to be so vulnerable and a champion of mental health. Thankfully, people like you are leading the change to ensure that mental health is part of our daily conversations. #wellbeingatwyndham #mentalhealth #inspiration #empathy #compassion #selfworth
