SIW 2020 and Peer Support Group for Mental Well-being: Anyone Can Be a Leader of Change

‘Leaders of Change’ is the topic of this year’s SIW - but can each and every one of us actually be a leader of change, despite struggling with our own issues?

As one of the most appreciated speakers at LBS last year, Emma Fox joins us to share her personal story of mental illness and wellness, and her work shaping mental health services in London over the last 6 years.

After being first diagnosed with depression at the age of 18, it took Emma 5 years to complete her 3-year university degree - but she ultimately graduated with the highest grade in her year. This will be a great opportunity to learn how Emma tackled the adversities she faced as a student, as a working professional, and ultimately as a mother. In addition, Emma will tell the story about how finding her own voice has been the starting point for leading change in her communities - and we will round off with discussions on how we can apply this to our own lives.

Emma Fox is the Business Transformation Lead in DECC at LBS - and when not working at the School, she designs some of the mental health services for NHS.

For the second year, LBS is putting Social Impact at its heart for the week of 9 March, 2020. Our Social Impact Week’s aim is to mobilize, challenge, and inspire the LBS community to become Leaders of Change and integrate commercial and social value into their careers and everyday lives. The LBS community will be engaged events all week long, including panels, workshops, a career fair, a pop-up Brands for Change marketplace, the Consumers for Change evening conference, and LBS for London volunteering projects across London.
