137. Special Episode with Lindsay Currie, Adam Levy, and Tara Puckey, Talking About Sustaining Mental and Physical Health as a Chief Staff Exec
Are associations doing enough to take care of their chief staff executives? What happens to an organization when its leader is burned out?
In this special episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda sat down with Lindsay Currie, Adam Levy, and Tara Puckey, the association leaders behind the Sustaining Mental and Physical Health as a Chief Staff Exec survey. They discuss:
- Why they created a mental and physical health survey for association chief staff executives (CSEs).
- The stark gap between private conversations about leadership struggles and the public “everything is fine” narrative that chief staff execs face every day.
- How 85% of surveyed executives reported negative impacts on their health from their role, 60% reported sleep struggles, and nearly 25% reported depression.
- Why boards need to care about their chief executive's health and how organizations should recognize CSEs as critical investments.
- The importance of building a trusted CEO peer network early in a leadership journey.
- Ways to transform association culture to better support the mental health and physical wellbeing of leaders and staff.
- How leadership vulnerability and destigmatizing mental health conversations can actually strengthen an organization’s culture.
- Practical ideas for safeguarding CEO wellness, from better vacation policies to board coaching and sabbatical programs
