Event Minds Matter Empowered by Club Ichi

Are you Emotionally Fit? This is the question members of Event Minds Matter asked themselves before building the foundation of this thriving community. Who are we? We are a community of like-minded event, meeting, hospitality and travel professionals, who have come together to “BUILD BRAVE SPACES TO AMPLIFY THE INDUSTRY’S CONVERSATION ON EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. There are no borders in our pledge to bring awareness, action, and improved practices to those who are working without boundaries, respect and support. We share compassion, empathy and a drive to re-educate the industry on the human aspect of today's workforce. We know that the labels we wear as badges of honor have contributed to a mentally unfit workforce. We are dedicated and committed to finding solutions that create a culture of realistic expectations for everyone. Acknowledging the depth of this problem is just the beginning. Those courageous humans who have exposed their stories here on LinkedIn, did so because they wanted their voices to be heard. By sharing their personal success stories it supports others who still suffer in silence. We want to change the stressors and praise people who get vocal about the challenges at work, and find organizations who are creating space with respect, empathy, psychologlical safety training & practices that promote trust, safety & human sustainability. We are prepared to climb a mountain if that's what it takes to craft change. From our perspective, the support required does not end at simply acknowledging these challenges exist. When employees speak up, they shouldn't simply be given lip service and left to resolve their issues. We don't believe in being the 6th most stressful job, we want to challenge the status quo and have businesses certify their commitment to operating an emotion fit workplace by demonstrating new protocols and actions that benefit their employees, throughout the lifecycle of their commitment, dedication and passion.
