Narelle Fraser Interviews

WARNING - THIS EPISODE DISCUSSES SUICIDE
Justyn loved the majority of his 25yr NSW Police career but there were some incidents which had a marked effect on him & which resulted in him being diagnosed with PTSD. Justyn wasn't sure what was wrong but felt something was - his panic attacks became more prevalent & he began to dread what job or scene might come up next. He knew by discussing his fears he'd more than likely be 'grounded' from the Airwing but in the end he realised he was not only putting himself in danger, but his colleagues also. Justyn isn't sure what the future holds but there's a silver lining in his story & that's with the valuable time he's now having with his family & enjoying being a stay-at-home-father.

Kate was a leader for much of her 23yr career in NSW Police where decisions she made on a daily basis could mean the difference between someone surviving or dying. If you've ever considered becoming a supervisor, leader or manager in ANY career, you'd do well to listen to Kate & what she's learned works best (& what doesn't!!). Kate was always honest, kind & respectful but not everyone held the same values. Kate loved the majority of time she spent in Policing but it was when she began to feel she wasn't valued as a person, she decided to walk away

Kate's book is titled "STAYING KIND IN AN UNKIND WORLD"
Kate is the Founder & Director of "THE KIND REBELLION"
Kate provides keynotes & workshops on subjects including Leadership Development, Organisational Culture, Ethical Leadership, Psychological Safety & Diversity & Inclusion
