66. Stop Pretending Everything Is Fine & Open Up About Mental Health
The past year has been a time, hasn’t it? Not only have we endured a global pandemic, but even everyday stresses have changed.
Maybe your business has suffered.
Maybe your relationships were tested.
Maybe peripheral friends dropped out of your life.
Or maybe you lost someone close to you.
Personally, I’ve been through a rough patch the past few months. And me being me, my instinct is to push through and never ask for help.
But it got to my breaking point, and I realized it was actually a long time coming. I needed to step back and acknowledge I needed to prioritize myself.
Frankly, it was time to allow myself to be human. I would’ve crashed and burned if I continued on the path I was on. It was time to heal and reset…and that’s okay.
We’re not robots. Leaders should demonstrate it’s okay to be vulnerable at work because if we manage our mental health first, and allow others to be human too, everything else will follow. It will make your office a kinder place to be.
So you could say the first step to having a good office is making sure you're in a good place as a leader.
Through sharing my own personal story, you’ll learn tips such as:
· The importance of managing your mental health
· Communicating with and relying on your teammates
· Why it’s okay to make yourself a priority
Takeaways from this episode:
- It's okay to admit when you're not doing well. It's okay to open up about your personal struggles at work … and leaders should model this.
- To be the type of leader you need to be, you have to put your oxygen mask on first.
- Don’t be afraid to take time off when you need it - and disconnect from your email too! You’ll come back refreshed with a better head on your shoulders.
Topics discussed:
- Mental health at the workplace
- Vulnerability at work
- Relying on your team / asking for help
- The importance of disconnecting
- COVID-19
- Making it through rough patches
