Welcome to Optimism

Why am I here?

Today at the agency, many of us attended Tony Davidson’s talk which was a condensed version of the talk he gave at Kyoorious Designyatra in India, earlier this month.

His talk “Why am I here?” started with his own family episode; his dad who is a natural creative and invented a clever double door lock system by himself. (It was for his house’s toilet)

He said he was here to meet amazing people amongst many things. He is here to lift people. He is here to be curious. He is here to cause chaos. Why he is still here is mostly because independence is everything.

Lots of us attended as we were all curious about what he was going to share with us and let us think once again why we are here. It wasn’t just because we were looking forward to yummy pizza provided while he talked!

Let’s talk about mental health

The 10th October was World Mental Health Day. It’s an opportunity to raise awareness of mental health issues and mobilise efforts in support of mental health.

Yesterday, we invited Jonny Benjamin to come and talk to the agency. Jonny is an award winning mental health campaigner, writer and filmmaker. He shared his experience of growing up with a mental illness, finding hope and journey of his recovery. It was a valuable time for all of us to think about mental health once again and reminded us that it is okay to talk about it.
Visit Jonny’s website for more information about his campaigns and keep up to date with his journey.
