Kite Consulting

The importance of being proactive & maintaining personal resilience

Episode Summary

Chris’ report is enough to make you feel blue without this coming ‘Blue Monday’, so this week Ben is joined by Marcus Doig, Consultant at Kite, Sam Rex, Senior Project Coordinator at Kite and Martin Hoddinott, a Somerset farmer to speak about a different type of resilience; the importance of looking after our physical and mental wellbeing. Sam and Marcus discuss mental & physical health concerns potentially facing those in the farming industry as well as some of the organisations & sources of support out there. With a focus on the value of proactively managing things to maintain good levels of mental and physical health, Martin joins to explain how he is doing just this. How acting proactively on potential issues and stepping back and away from the day to day running of the farm, allowed him some perspective on the business to reframe and look positively at the future.
