This week I’m joined by Chevy Rough, who is a wellbeing and productivity coach who previously spent 10 years in recruitment.
This is a different type of episode this week, as we talk less about his experience being a recruiter and more about mental health instead.
I’d usually suggest episodes for specific types of people, however, whatever stage you’re at in your career: whether that’s one day, one year or one decade in recruitment - this one is for all of you.
Trigger warning - we talk about drug use and suicide in this episode.
