In this catch up I talk to Mace Bartlett about how he looks to engage with his workers the steel fixing industry in Melbourne Australia.

He deals with tough proud men who find it hard to reach out for fear of being ridiculed, or made fun of.

The topic is universally the same across many industries, but Mace is using the power of social media to share his messages to a wider audience.

He speak from a place of care, and wants his colleagues to be in a really good place as often as possible. He knows that when something isn't right at home it will usually manifest itself at work.

Opening lines of communication is really easy and can be as simple as asking how the weekend has gone, and being engaged enough to get a handle on what makes a person tick. Being their in the good times will or may open the door to when they aren't quite on their game and then you maybe welcome into engagw wth them when they are gong through the challenging times.

Showing someone that you care costs nothing but a couple of minutes. You never know, you showing that you care may be the only positive encourage they may have received that day or that week.
