Movember - Men's Health Month With Jon Weller

It's November.

And November means Movember. 

Movember is a time for us to unite and tackle mental health issues that are affecting our fathers, brothers, sons, cousins, uncles and friends. 

Things like mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. 

So today, we’re talking to Jon Weller.

Jon is a Director at Michael Page, but he is also Ngozi's husband.

Jon has experience supporting his colleagues who are struggling with their mental health, but he’s also supported Ngozi in times when she's struggled.

So, join us as we discuss men’s health and well-being.

Here are the highlights:

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion
Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
