4. How should you react if a colleague tells you they've had suicidal thoughts? Lessons from Piers Morgan and Meghan Markle
Mar 18, 2021 Season 1 Episode 4

Oprah Winfrey's interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made plenty of headlines. But it was the reaction of morning VT host, Piers Morgan, which took things to a whole other level.

Morgan walked off his show when he was criticised for doubting Markle's claims that she had had suicidal thoughts.

In this week's show Blaire and Natasha talk about what a leader's responsibility is for the mental health of their people. What should they do if someone on their team tells them they are feeling suicidal, anxious or depressed? And how can leaders better understand their reactions to these conversations.

In their check-in Blaire and Natasha also discuss the murder of Sarah Everard, the conversation that has followed about women's experiences of feeling unsafe in every day situations and share their own stories, some of which listeners may find disturbing.
