This takes a toll, even on the healthiest individuals. But, it’s not just the current state we are in that is impacting mental health. It existed long before the pandemic and will exit after.
Today a please to have Sally Spencer-Thomas here with us to discuss mental health in the workplace and home. This is a timely topic as September is also Suicide Prevention Month.
Sally is a Psychologist and International Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Impact Entrepreneur and Keynote Speaker.

Don’t let your dream of starting a business come to an end because of a bad pitch (deck)!
Posted in Business Growth Cafe with tags Business Growth, Messaging..., Motiva..., Sales Performance on July 28, 2020 by OC Talk Radiohttps://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-xhmgs-e4962d
In the world of startups getting a business off the ground is not easy. There is so much work that goes into developing the plans, product, testing, etc. etc., yet in 60 seconds or less, that dream can come to an end.
Why, because their investor pitch didn’t go so well. This may have been the result of the entrepreneur themselves…or in many cases, their pitch deck didn’t communicate and the brilliance of their idea got lost in the sea of pages, numbers, and rambling that caused the potential investor to say to themselves, next!
At the Café, Jasmine Foroutan, CEO of Pitch Genius joins me to offer up some advice on what a great and effective pitch deck should include.
