Change management and mental health: Episode Notes
Nicole started as a change management consultant in the late 90s, when there wasn’t a lot of room for vulnerability at work.
Throughout the years she experienced several situations that made her realize how often organizations suffer from a misalignment between values and behaviors.
While it is important for leaders to be active and visible sponsors for change, that might just not be enough. As a matter of fact, change management is a much deeper process, which requires managers to connect with individuals in a way that they can be heard.
We live in a society where people are conditioned to be constantly competing with their peers rather than trying to establish a more meaningful relationship. Such an attitude, which is usually ingrained in people’s brains since their very childhood, creates a very weak mental foundation, which needs to change.
Nicole’s focus on people and connected leadership has made a significant impact in her career. No matter what business companies operate in, she believes that organizational change and progress can only happen when individuals are able to fully express themselves rather than try and hide their vulnerability.
Nicole concludes our interview with a terrific piece of advice: do not separate your own persona from your work persona: be yourself at all times.
