Welcome to the brand new Case-UK podcast, 'Just In CASE'.

Every month we discuss mental health and wellbeing topics, inviting guests to share their life stories and offer any advice they may have picked up on the way. When we're not podcasting, we deliver mental health and physical support to thousands of people across the UK. There have been ups and of course downs, but we would love it if you came along with us on this wellbeing journey.

In this episode, host Chrissie Evans sits down with John Williams and Byron Hayward, Case UK’s Chief Operating Officer and Business Wellbeing Consultant respectively.

Both John and Byron have spent large parts of their careers in professional rugby, including representing Wales at international level in Byron’s case. It is a pressurised environment that demands excellence. But do those demands for physical, sporting and competitive excellence come at a price to individuals’ wellbeing?

They discuss happiness: what is it, how can it be found, how outside pressures can militate against it. They also share some of their ‘tactics’ – not for outwitting a blitz defence, or for defending a driving maul – but for finding contentment and happiness, and holding on to it.

They also discuss how those in leadership roles, as they themselves have been in, can create environments that can create happiness without compromising professionalism. But this isn’t straightforward, particularly because those leaders might themselves be products of past environments that were less sympathetic to wellbeing. How much of that has rubbed off on them?
