With her focus on people and mental wellness, she’s well-placed to talk about leading with empathy. Natalie also has a moving story to tell: that of living with her mother’s alcohol addiction, and how this has affected her.

This is a thought-provoking and heartfelt discussion, which also delves into the importance of supporting managers in our industry.

Key takeaways:

  • Alcohol use disorder is a spectrum, and we need to talk more about what this complex condition looks like;
  • We still need to do more to make it OK to drink a little, or not at all, at industry events; and
  • Our industry needs to give more resource and support to managers, so they can support themselves and their teams.
