I Coach Blokes

As they say on Sesame St today is brought to you by the number 6.

And why you may be asking is 6 of significant relevance today?

Well it is now 6 working days since RUOK day and I would ask how many people have consciously done anything differently since?

For after the cup cakes, morning teas and presentations and potential upsurge in awareness and conversations, like a brief caffeine hit we likely go back to maintaining the status quo.

So for those empowered I would ask what have you done differently as a result of RUOK day to create a better environment, implemented something significant that sustainably changes employee well being or committed to a course of action that will change things for the better in the future?

If you have, well done and congrats, for I suspect you will be in the minority and for most it will be back to the status quo until next year for the following article makes some sobering reading.

And my final reference to the number 6 is that is the number of males who take their own lives in Australia every day.

And if we don't think that is a good enough reason to DO something differently, think of the other 135 people who are likely impacted as a result of each su***de.

So if you have the ability to implement change, what are you waiting for and today ask yourself R U REALLY OK?
