Edinburgh-born and London-based Gail speaks from the heart about the ups and downs of her life and career – and in particular her experiences of mental health illness to help organisations and individuals understand how to support those experiencing problems.
Courage, authenticity, resilience, kindness, making a difference. These are all qualities we see in Gail Porter – and qualities which individuals and organisations can learn from her.
In her brave and frank talks, Gail discusses topics such as:
- mental health
- improving workplace wellbeing
- developing resilience
- facing fears
- self-belief
- creating a culture of kindness
While enjoying a successful career as a television presenter, personality and model, Gail suffered from self-doubt, anxiety, depression and anorexia. She went on to experience post-natal depression, alopecia, self-harm, divorce and homelessness.
Gail , the subject of the BAFTA Scotland award-winning BBC documentary ‘Being Gail Porter’, now bravely shares her story to help individuals and organisations better understand these issues which are increasingly prevalent in today’s world and workplace, and to how to support those experiencing problems.
As a motivational speaker and an ambassador for several charities, she shows others how to overcome adversity, be more resilient and make a difference in the world.
Gail was recently appointed as an Ambassador for Prince William and The Royal Foundation’s UK-wide programme to end homelessness – Homewards. It is a five-year locally led programme which will demonstrate that together it is possible to end homelessness: making it rare, brief , and unrepeated.
