BIO:
Rob is a mental health influencer, campaigner and public speaker regarding breaking the stigma of mental ill-health in the workplace. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2002. Rob is the founder of Inside-Out.org, a social enterprise with a mission of ending stigma by showcasing senior leader role models from our workplaces with lived experiences of mental ill-health. This is done by virtue of a published annual list – The InsideOut LeaderBoard.
InsideOut also take these role models into businesses for panel events as part of an initiative called the InsideOut WaveMakers which has the aim of inspiring other senior leaders to open up about their own challenges. The InsideOut Photography Exhibition is a visual representation of some of the role models displaying their portrait alongside details of their stories and aspects of impact of their openness. This is available for display in workplaces to stimulate further conversation about mental health and the role of our leaders in this agenda.
Rob recently completed the MindCycle Tour, riding over 3,000km of the Tour de France route on a static bike in a number of corporate workplaces, stimulating conversation about mental health.Inspired by this initiative, Rob has launched MindCycle Events which is a unique mental health awareness-raising events offering. Rob is passionate about stimulating investment into the preventative mental wellbeing space and is Chief Catalyst for the Big Wellbeing Data Project for BetterSpace, a mental wellbeing solution marketplace.
