The Sales Transformation Podcast

It’s a very special week on the Sales Transformation Podcast as we kick off a brand-new series hosted by Luke Bowles - “Five Ways to Wellbeing”. The Five Ways were originally outlined in a report from the New Economics Foundation, and are designed to be key actions everyone can take to improve their mental welfare. They are: 
 
Connect 
Be active 
Take notice 
Keep learning 
Give 
 
In each episode of this series Luke will welcome a new guest, from the world of Sales and beyond, to have an open and honest discussion about their mental health, and the ways in which they employ the Five Ways. 
 
Luke’s first guest is Carly Ford, Account Director at Speedy Services. Together they talk about their experiences with mental health problems, how the pandemic affected them both personally and professionally, and the importance of empathy and understanding in the workplace. 
 
Highlights include: 
  • [01:48] – How did the pandemic affect salespeople’s mental wellbeing? 
  • [23:34] – The importance of being your authentic self at work 
  • [27:57] – Managers need to be more understanding of mental health issues
