Every day — not just on World Su***de Prevention Day — I’m reminded of my passion and purpose: supporting mental health and wellbeing.

It’s deeply personal, and it’s also about the people I walk alongside. Together, we can create spaces where conversations are safe, support is real, and wellbeing is prioritised. 💙

🧠 The Counterintuitive Art of Giving Feedback

Most of us were taught that giving feedback means a big conversation… diving into what went wrong and why. But often, that just triggers:

😟 Defensiveness
😑 Disengagement
😵 Overwhelm

👉 There’s another way.

💡 Mark Horstman, author of The Effective Manager, flips the script:

“Feedback isn’t therapy—it’s communication.”

It’s not about analysing the past or drawing out long reflections. Instead, it’s about being:

✅ Simple
✅ Clear
✅ Respectful

Here’s the 4-step approach:

1️⃣ Make an observation
2️⃣ Share what you saw
3️⃣ Describe the impact
4️⃣ Say what you'd like to see going forward

🛑 No drama
🛑 No long-winded explanations
🛑 No shame

It’s fast. It’s empowering. And it respects the autonomy and intelligence of the other person.

💬 Of course, it works best with a strong foundation—like regular 1:1s or check-ins.

That’s why in our Resilience First Aid training, we teach tools like the ALL protocol for conversations that lift, inspire, and move people forward.

At BLMC, we’re helping clients create feedback cultures that feel clear, kind, and effective—without the guesswork.

Does Your Workplace Have a Qualified HSR?

Under the WHS Act 2011, workplaces must consult with workers on health and safety matters—and Health & Safety Representatives (HSRs) play a crucial role in ensuring worker representation.

If your workplace has an HSR, they must complete an approved training course to fulfill their duties legally and effectively.

HSR Training – October 2025
Dates: October 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29

So good to get back to where I grew up and run a Mental Health First Aid in the workplace course.
Passionate and community minded people leading the way in supporting mental health in their region. Thank you.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of delivering Mental Health First Aid training to a group of people in Barham – a town close to my heart. I grew up just down the road in Moulamein and my grandparents lived in Barham, so it was extra special to bring this training back to the region.

The group were engaged, and their feedback was wonderful – they’re now keen to continue their journey with a Resilience Training course.

If you or your organisation are interested in Mental Health First Aid or Resilience Training, please get in touch – we’d love to support you.
