"Work is somewhere I go to do something I'm good at, but it's not who I am."
What does an ex-police office know about teacher stress?
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
Tom Wheelhouse founded Mightify in 2015 because he wasn't willing to accept that people in frontline roles across society gave so much and got so little in return.
He left his career as a police officer and decided he would deliver fit-for-purpose wellbeing, personal development and career transition services to frontline people.
In this fascinating and practical episode he shares:
"It all comes back to having that vulnerability and openness to ask and be asked, what do you need right now to thrive?"
