We celebrated Pink Shirt Day across Aotearoa today by dressing in pink and coming together for themed quizzes and morning teas. Pink Shirt Day is an annual anti-bullying event that celebrates diversity and promotes kindness and inclusion. In New Zealand, Pink Shirt Day is led by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. Thank you to Frank Meijer, William Silk, Nicola Mercer, and Elen Hawke for organising this year’s celebrations, as part of their roles on the Social Taskforce, our national working group committed to elevating inclusiveness at Colliers. #PinkShirtDayNZ #Colliers #NewZealand

'Mental health awareness week' which is also coinciding with 'face equality week' as I learnt from Nick Farnan. Two very important things to think about and for me I want to link the two. A key part of mental health is that you cannot see it a lot of the time, for me personally I'm really good when Lamorna Trahair-Williams asks if I'm OK as I've been a bit quiet by saying "yes, I'm fine" and then about 3 days later I realise what she has seen which I hadn't noticed and actually I was struggling and it just took time for my mind to catch up but she can see it earlier than I. It's very difficult to really think about equality when cannot always see an issue so if this post can do one thing, please just take the time to consider what other people might be going through right now; just because you cannot visibly see something, does not mean there isn't something going on inside them which is really affecting them. Be mindful of your interactions, be caring and considerate; you don't know what news they might have just had and what they might be dealing with. On Monday I had the absolute privilege of walking 13.1 miles around the streets of London with some of the team from TBC.London team seeing the spectacular landmarks, to raise awareness and support the charity Mind. Thing to be grateful for as I reflect on my day: - Great company - Great weather - Being able to walk such a distance - Being in a good headspace to be able to experience such an event. Things are tough right now, we hear the news of a mental health crisis if you can donate on the link below please do, but equally just be considerate of those around you, take a moment to reflect before you speak and just think about what that person might have gone through or what news they might have just had.

‘Our sense of home is essential to an experience of belonging’ Where we grow up shapes our identities, but it is not always a physical place. Home can be where we find our connections and sense of belonging: it can be our family, friends, our workplaces, or our neighbourhoods. Feeling secure and safe in a home is a basic right and a key part of the #righttobelong. My comment features in Psychology Today below 👇 https://lnkd.in/epD5ZYXt

Do you think woman & girls should be free from the threat, fear or acts of violence? Of course you do, but they aren’t, even in Jersey. Take a minute to consider the following stats, pulled from the recent report on Violence Against Women and Girls in Jersey. 👉 More than three quarters of general public survey respondents had experienced sexual harassment in the last 12-months. 👉 One in four general public survey respondents have experienced rape and/or attempted rape in their lifetime. 👉 Almost two thirds of general public survey respondents did not agree that the Courts in Jersey take physical forms of VAWG seriously. But you can help mend our community by understanding the scope of the problem and resolving to take action. Kate Wright and her taskforce have lifted the lid on this shocking ‘hidden problem’ and have outlined ways in which we can help. Take a look at her post below or simply share it and keep this conversation alive. Read the report and view more resources here 👉https://lnkd.in/e5CxUJBh

Mindset matters ... I love this post, and plan to try to remember these over the next 6 weeks. I bookend the school holidays every year to mark the beginning, the end and to make me feel better about the weeks in between. And I have added 'work free wednesdays'. I day theme and time block, so have the flex built into my week. I am grateful I work for myself and can build time freedom into my week. What are you doing differently this year? #WorkingParents #FlexibleWorking #TimeTips #TimeFreedom
For those #workingparents amongst my LI feed who are feeling the guilt right now. Only eleventy billion weeks to go! Credit: Guilty Mothers Club #summerholidays #workingmums #workingdads

Today, as we wear pink in support of #PinkShirtDay, let's remember its powerful message: kindness, respect and inclusivity matter. Bullying isn't confined to schoolyards. I can say that I have been bullied more in workplaces than I ever was at school. As you dress your kids today in their pink shirts, take a moment to reflect on how we show up at work. Are we fostering respect and support? Let's use today as a reminder to create workplaces where everyone feels valued. Together, we can make kindness the norm, not just today, but every day. #InMyKindnessEra #EndBullying #WorkplaceCulture #KindnessMatters
