Josh Krichefski – The Mindful Leader

Often referred to as a media guru (having spent some 24 years in the industry) Josh Krichefski is the GroupM CEO for EMEA and the United Kingdom, where he is responsible for worldwide growth. Josh is perhaps known as one of the most humble people in the industry and widely recognised for his advocacy work around mental health and workplace wellbeing.  In his own words he believes that ‘people in business are our greatest assets’ and never before has there been a time that we should be thinking about our people’s well being than right now. “If there's something that I feel like I could have a lasting positive impact on the world, [it] would be to help workplace culture be a place where people can be happy and thrive and have joy in their life.” In this fifth episode of Are You Sitting Uncomfortably? Host Gemma Greaves and Josh explore putting mental health at the top of his work agenda, being open about his insomnia, and the juggle between work and family life.
