CEO Roundtable - June 2021

Please join us for our next virtual CEO roundtable intended to connect and embolden business leaders. 
Kim LaMontagne will share her powerful story about mental health in the workplace, and it's one you won't want to miss.
Through Kim's lens of lived experience, we'll see the importance of fostering a stigma-abandoning leadership attitude and culture where employees are supported and valued as holistic people.  Kim's story will be followed by the opportunity to participate in small breakout discussions, for those who wish!

​In this interactive roundtable, you can expect to learn:   

• The risks of ignoring or minimizing the role of mental health in your workplace  
• The critical role of the CEO/leader support in creating and maintaining a mentally healthy workplace 
• How stigma and discrimination thrive on lack of knowledge and intentionality 
• Tangible next steps for your leadership/organizational development 

ABOUT KIM: 
Kim is an International Speaker, Trainer, and Author. She is also a Teacher and State Trainer with National Alliance on Mental Illness and a member of the Dartmouth Hitchcock - Campaign to Combat Behavioral Health Stigma and Discrimination.  Kim works with organizational leaders to teach them how to create and sustain a mentally healthy workplace culture by creating a 'culture of safety' in the workplace. A culture of safety is one where everyone feels safe speaking openly about mental health without fear of judgment, retribution, or job loss.

Kim shares her personal experience of living "behind a mask" in the workplace with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and alcohol misuse.  As a top performing corporate professional, Kim feared that speaking openly about her mental illness would tarnish her professional career.  As a result, she stayed silent. Silence is toxic. 
 
Kim recognized that many individuals suffer in silence in the workplace and hide behind a mask of shame and fear.  As a solution, she created a leadership training called, "The 4 Pillars of Creating and Sustaining a Mentally Healthy Workplace Culture.  The 4 Pillars training teaches leaders how to normalize the conversation about mental health and create an environment where everyone feels safe speaking openly about mental health.  At 12 years sober and healthy, Kim has the unique ability to teach through the lens of the lived experience and the lens of a leader.  
 
Her mission is to share her lived experience to teach leaders how to create a culture of safety in the workplace that empowers individuals to speak openly about mental health.
