Better Happy with Mike Jones

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 6 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here.  This is the Second part of my chat with Mike Jones, he's the founder and chief at Better Happy - who enables organisations to develop healthy, motivated, high-performing managers, safe from burnout, In this episode Mike talks about the better happy approach - and we chat about topics that are very important to us both - including our view that workplaces are optimally placed to make a meaningful impact on happiness and wellbeing and that culture can be massively influenced by leadership role modelling. We also talk about the impact of ACT on Mike and also why the ACT segments are the most rewarding part of the training he delivers. He truly is a man on a mission to make a difference. People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun. We're all about Unlocking Workplace Potential with expert perspectives from Contextual Behavioural Science. Another first for Season 5 is that I'm adding a transcript, wherever possible. There is a caveat - this transcript is largely generated by Artificial Intelligence, I have corrected many errors but I won't have captured them all!
