The Boston Job Doctor, Dr. Thierry Guedj, joins us to discuss what we can learn from past disasters as we prepare post-pandemic plans. Check out the content section at VerdantConsulting.net for a 5-step guide to building trust.

Learn more about this study, "Plug Back Into Work, Safely: Job Reattachment, Leader Safety Commitment, and Job Engagement in the COVID-19 Pandemic" from the Journal of Applied Psychology. One chart we mention in our discussion is their insight about leaders demonstrating commitment to safety and it's impact on job engagement and reattachment.

In this episode, I cover the article "The perfect recovery? Interactive influence of perfectionism and spillover work tasks on changes in exhaustion and mood around a vacation," which reviews what happens to anxiety, exhaustion, and depressed moods following vacations, as well as how this differs if you have perfectionist tendencies.

In our re-launch of the Be Verdant podcast, we kick things off with a review of using the perception of time as a way to create mindfulness. This study highlights 4 ways to think about time, 2 of which have been tied to decreased stress and increased positivity.

Our renewed focus is on transformation within the current context, integrating the science of resiliency and proven practices for busting through burnout to become the best versions of ourselves, at home and at work.

If you would like to learn more about our programs to overcome burnout and build resiliency skills, as well as our handout with time perception mindfulness exercises, visit us at http://verdantconsulting.net.
