Award-winning business coach, Martin Robert Hall, is offering free motivational mindset training sessions to Manchester businesses as they deal with the challenges that have arisen during the pandemic.
The initiative named Motivational Mondays is now in it’s fourth successive year and takes on even more significance in 2021 as busines leaders and their teams deal with brand new challenges around motivation, mental health and a lack of contact with their colleagues.
Martin originally launched the idea in 2018, which saw him bring his unique brand of leadership and mindset training to Manchester’s top businesses and resulted in him being crowned Business Coach of the Year at the International Coaching Awards.
The campaign was designed to support the Manchester business community, sharing skills around resilience and mental strength at a time when people really need it. Instead of Martin charging a fee for his time, he encourages those who take part to make a donation to Mind Manchester, who support people young and old with their mental health.
Martin has been coaching these methods in business and elite sport for 12 years and believes there has never been a more important time to focus on these topics.
He commented: “This has been an extremely challenging period for everybody in different ways. Keeping motivated and mentally strong during this time has been extremely difficult for many people and I am just pleased to support Manchester businesses with this initiative.
“The ONS reported that one in five people are considered to be on the threshold of depression, twice that of this time last year. A survey by Qualtrics echoes this by finding that 44.4% of newly remote workers said their mental health had declined since the outbreak of the pandemic.
“Employers have a responsibility to look after their people, now more than ever. I have worked with some great companies who do this tremendously well and others who just seem to push it down the priority list.
“If my Motivational Mondays Initiative can help employers with a simple solution and give their people some extra support during a period of darkness, now matter how small, I will feel I’ve made a difference in my own way.”
