There are two things that come to mind when you think of a sheriff. Either it's the lawman in a cowboy film, wearing a Stetson hat, a gold star on the chest and riding a horse. Or far more appropriately to the UK, the nasty and villainous Sheriff of Nottingham constantly thwarted by Robin Hood.
The role of High Sheriff has it roots in the latter, but as time has gone by, many of the original responsibilites have been shared across other roles. For example, the High Sheriff doesn't have to assemble a posse to chase down brigands anymore. Now the role is largely ceremonial, but nevertheless an important one, as it has been preserved purely to make a positive impact.
In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Maynard Burton explains exactly how the role of High Sheriff has evolved over the past thousand years to be something that benefits the county of Worcestershire.

When we talk about first aid we usually assume, and it’s easy to picture, physical first aid. Someone has received a workplace injury and needs to be immediately cared for, potentially before an ambulance turns up.
But what about mental health first aid? If your workplace has mental health first aiders, would you know when you should turn to them, and more importantly, would you?
In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Wendy Garrett explains exactly what Mental Health First Aiders do, and just how they can support people in the workplace.

When it comes to ergonomics, Ergonomics Assessor Debbie Atkinson states it plainly;
"A lot of people don't think that ergonomics is a necessary thing to do."
After all, ergonomics is about comfort, and when we talk about comfort, we think about the soft side of it. We don't think about how discomfort can lead to headaches, back pain and other musculoskeletal issues. We don't think about how those things can then lead to lost productivity, or sick days (with as many as 7.1 million days lost each year).
But a few simple changes, at either the design stage, or later on in the work or home environment, can lead to increased comfort, physical wellbeing and productivity.

There’s a misconception that a website isn’t necessary anymore. That as long as you have social media. you’re covered - and if you rely on a storefront like Etsy to sell your products, that’s probably true. But to give your customers the full picture of who you are and what you do, a website is still the only place where you can have complete control over how things look and what you say. This digital storefront is where customers can find you, and ultimately can make decisions about working with you.
In this episode, Helen Davies, a web designer, explains what really goes into building a website that gets found, builds trust, and turns visitors into customers.

In this episode, Kate Shropshall shares her insights on content marketing, the importance of strategy, tools, AI, and how to succeed in the field.

When we think of 'content', we tend to think of content creators making videos that go viral on social media, but whilst content creation is part of the role of content marketer, it's not the complete picture.

Whilst getting your content seen is an important part of being a content marketer, what's more important is making sure that the right people are seeing it. That's where strategy and analysis come in.

What do you know about the menopause? Do you understand enough about it to know if you're going through it (if you're biologically female and over 35)? Do you understand enough about it to support someone else going through it? Would you be able to support someone that you work with, or that you manage directly?
In this episode of the podcast, my guest Vicky Mose from Imagine How argues that not enough people know enough about the menopause, and if it was understand and discussed as well as puberty, it would make the workplace a far more supportive place.

In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, I speak with Larissa Astara Gray about everything related to positive sex education.
The biggest misconception about Larissa's job is the usage of the word "positive". A lot of people assume that it means that she's 'sex positive', as in, we should have more sex. This isn't the case at all.
Rather than being positive about sex, Larissa is all about making sex safer, by using sex education to reduce the number of negative sexual encounters. After facing a lifetime of negative sexual encounters herself, Larissa works with young people, teachers and parents to give a better understanding about behaviours that young people may have picked up from harmful content online, and other social pressures.

Trigger warning: severe sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse, drug abuse, gaslighting
