After her career in the fast lane Leonie, Innovation Manager and Creative Director at Accenture, deliberately decided to take a time out and to thereby listen to what her body signaled her. During this time she discovered a topic that moves her like nothing else: Mental Health. This topic accompanies her up till today next to her actual job at Accenture as a coach.
If we think about how fast our digital world has become, it is not surprising that we feel quite overstrained every once in a while. That’s completely normal. It is all the more important to also press the pause-button: “In these times, it is highly important to allow yourself a break. Sometimes we need to stop in order to be able to run faster again”, says Leonie.
Talking openly about mental health, slowing down deliberately and accepting help: Throughout the video Leonie provides emotional insights into her personal path towards mental health and the role of the employer’s support in this process.

View TranscriptAt Accenture, our success is based on our employees. Thanks to them, we are drivers of innovation and create lasting changes as well as new values.
To make the change work, we need diversity. Not only does our corporate culture become more unique through the multitude of perspectives but also our work benefits from this. We create an added value that is based on the talent and creativity of our personnel. Our staff members are drivers of positive change. They contribute individually to our ability of making a difference together.
Thereby, we consider all the shades of diversity. For us, people’s sex, generations, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientation as well as people with disabilities are all part of this. However, diversity can only lead to success if it comes with a culture of equality and inclusion. This is why aspects such as the approach towards mental health, working parents and a modern understanding of leadership matter too. That is the precondition for our talents to make use of their strengths as much as possible, to feel appreciated and to actively participate on affecting changes.
What you can expect? Staff members who share insights of their individual everyday life with you aby telling their stories. All of them are in a very unique way pioneers of change.
We cherish our staff members. Every person is different and has other strengths. We appreciate the particularities and see the potential and enrichment that our differences bring to our company. We want to move things together and we know: Change only works with diverse personalities who open new perspectives. And this is what they can do with us.
At Accenture a lot is possible.
