Episode 17. Exploring Mental Wellness At Work

“Empowerment is something where you make conscious decisions, you don’t put yourself down, you don’t put yourself up but you don’t commiserate and complain, you actually take action” my good friend, Susanna Harkonen kindly shared with me on Episode 17 of the Reframe & reset Your Career podcast.

Susanna is a registered counsellor and a certified coach with a background in logistics and supply chain management. She worked globally for the International Labor Organization, and had considerable international business management experience before she decided to focus her career on improving mental wellness at work.

Susanna is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a Certified autism spectrum disorder clinical specialist and a Certified grief therapist, and she is professionally trained in many other areas including neuroscience, positive psychology, and Mental Health First Aid for organisations.  Susanna works with organisations, coaches & therapists and offers individual counselling to people around the globe. 

Her purpose and passion is to make mental wellness the new normal in organisations, and empower stressed professionals to take charge of their lives and feel better at work.
