Surviving FIFO and Making the Sacrifice a Success: Recent Episodes
Paul Smith
As a Fly In Fly Out worker life can be tricky. The long rosters, time away from the family, isolation, and minimal communication with the family can lead to many issues. Suicide rates are at a staggering level, Mental Health is a huge issue and Men and Women are losing their families and sinking into dark places and too many are committing suicide as the toll becomes too great. Through my online program and coaching I hope to impact the industry through sharing the 6 Key Elements to being a successful FIFO Family and Making the Sacrifice a Success.
Johnny Maher is all the way from the UK and as a long standing Construction Professional who has worked all around the world in the Oil and Gas Industry he has seen many changes. Through his own experiences and working at very senior levels he learnt how best to understand and deal with strategies to improve culture and productivity.
When he recognised he could do more to help he opened Inner Focus Hypnosis in 2016 to support and help men and women overcome the stressors of life and deal with the issues such as PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, drinking etc.
A man of true integrity and heart this is an episode not to be missed.
