Podcast: Maintaining connections and taking a break

This week’s episode of Leading Generous Teams features Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) CEO Michael Graham  

For social sector leaders, it’s always worth taking the time to connect with your team and let the important people in your life know how much they mean to you. 

This is a key theme from the fifth episode of Leading Generous Teams, the podcast collaboration between Pro Bono News and Clare Desira (Top Five Movement).

This week, Desira chats with Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) CEO Michael Graham, about what he is doing to support his team’s mental health, mindset and resilience, and how he is also looking after himself.

Later in the episode, Desira reflects on the importance of connection and taking a break.
