On Thursday, October 23rd, the Mid-Continent Compliance Forum (MCCF) Fall Forum will bring together compliance and reliability professionals from across the region for a full day of collaboration, shared experiences, and timely discussions. This year’s theme emphasizes resilience, collaboration, and well-being as the foundation for navigating today’s compliance and reliability challenges.
Patrick Kelley on Mental Health in the Workplace
One of the most anticipated sessions will be led by Patrick Kelley, CEO of Critical Path Security. His talk, “Mental Health in the Workplace,” will confront the realities of stress, burnout, and imposter syndrome that affect professionals in highly demanding compliance and technical roles.
With a rare blend of vulnerability and expertise, Kelley will share not only personal perspective but also practical strategies to foster healthier work environments. His session aims to leave attendees with tools to better recognize signs of stress, support colleagues, and advocate for authentic leadership that prioritizes well-being.
