Why do some individuals, despite adversities, not just survive but thrive?
Drawing from his experience, Dr Mags seeks to understand the profound interplay between adversity, resilience, and well-being. His insights emphasize actionable steps that build individual and team resilience.
It’s against this backdrop that Frankly Speaking was born, an employee wellbeing consulting firm whose mission is to design transformative mental health and resilience programmes rooted in academic research and Dr Mags’ personal narrative. This narrative of a journey of transformation from roaming the streets of Johannesburg in 1992 as a homeless, broke, and unemployed young adult to boardrooms and the corridors of GIBS as a senior lecturer stands as a testament to Dr Mags resilience and the power of the human spirit to conquer.
The aim?
To foster a high-performing wellbeing culture where employees are equipped with the tools to safeguard their mental health, tailored to their unique needs.
Frankly Speaking isn’t just another consultancy. It’s an embodiment of Dr Mags’ ethos.
The company understands that a good wellbeing strategy is more than just a plan. It’s a bridge that connects the organization’s unique priorities, initiates a cultural shift, and progresses towards a culture of well-being. Dr Mags feels immensely grateful and privileged to partner with organizations that want employee wellbeing to be a successful business strategy.
