In this episode we're joined by Bruce Daisley, a leading voice on work culture who challenges the conventional wisdom around resilience.

He argues that the current emphasis on individual resilience in the workplace amounts to victim-blaming and overlooks systemic issues that create stress and burnout.

Join the conversation as we explore the limitations of resilience training, the collective nature of true resilience and the role of socialisation in fostering a resilient culture. We also discuss the critical importance of managerial training in addressing workplace challenges.

Bruce's insights are not just theoretical; they are grounded in practical examples, including the transformative impact of seemingly small actions like a receptionist's initiative in a corporate setting. This episode invites listeners to rethink resilience, emphasising community, connection, and systemic change as keys to a healthier work environment.
