Scheduled Livestream: May 26th at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time
Snap Out of It! is looking forward to speaking with Saskia Lightburn-Ritchie, the Chief Operating Officer (CEO) at My CWA (Cheshire Without Abuse), a charity in the United Kingdom. Her company works to build a community where adults and children can live free from the fear of domestic abuse and runs a 24-hour helpline, among other things. But don’t get it confused, Saskia’s charity is no small potatoes. She works with more than 100 employees but does so in a way that allows each of them to succeed — even those with mental illness.
You see, Saskia has bipolar disorder and she designed her own role such that she can be a successful CEO with bipolar disorder. And she passed those supports and ideas down to her staff. Now, more than 60% of her employees have a mental illness and they have very low turnover because of how she treats her people — with respect, dignity, and what they need medically.
Saskia and I will be talking about what it’s like to work with bipolar disorder — in her last position vs. today — and what it is she does to ensure that people with medical issues like mental illness can be successful at work. We’ll also be talking about the costs involved in these changes and the benefits this has brought her entire company.
As always, we will be taking your questions live across LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook. Tune in on May 26th, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
