Are You OK?

Entrepreneur

|

June 2022

Mental health has become a critical conversation, but how can leaders truly walk the walk? Here, six founders share experiences that showed them the way.

Are You OK?

1/ Open up to connect deeply.

When I was diagnosed with testicular cancer at 32, I took just one day off work for the surgery-one of my biggest regrets. But something changed when I came out the other side. For the first time in my life, I could open up about my inner demons. In time, empathy took root where resentment had festered, and I had the urge to go below the surface in conversations. I wanted to soothe others struggling to hide their pain. It made me a better leader. -MATT HIGGINS, cofounder and CEO, RSE Ventures

2/ Make time off a company activity.
