Insights from this episode:

• Burnout and disconnection are at alarming levels:
  • 80% of people will experience a diagnosable mental health condition.
  • 60% of employees report being emotionally detached; 19% are outright miserable.
  • 48% of workers and 53% of managers report being burned out.
• Five key actions to engineer emotional inclusion:
  • Prioritize mental health support.
  • Build action-oriented platforms for wellness.
  • Educate teams on naming and regulating emotions.
  • Leaders go first in modeling vulnerability.
  • Challenge false assumptions and create psychological safety.
• Investing in emotional inclusion leads to stronger performance, innovation, retention, and trust.
• Personal wellbeing habits such as sleep, movement, meditation, and micro-moments of pause fuel sustainable performance.

Quotes from the show:

• “Emotional intelligence is the knowing. Emotional inclusion is the doing.” 
• “81,396 — that’s how many hours the average person spends working. Shouldn’t those hours be positive, meaningful, and human?” 
• “Emotions are not soft. They’re biological facts.” 
• “There is no such thing as splitting our home self from our work self — that’s a false dichotomy.” 
• “When leaders open up, they give others permission to do the same.”

Quotes from the show:

• “Taking care of our mental health is, it’s a verb. It’s not a noun. It's dynamic and it’s changing. And so this idea of emotional inclusion that you’ve put forward, I think is one that’s really powerful because it means it’s an invitation.” - Dr. Kathy Pike
• “We have this false dichotomy that what’s good for business is not good for mental health and what’s good for mental health is not good for business. And that’s just flat out wrong. Data is overwhelmingly clear that when we take care of our people, when you take care of people’s mental health and wellbeing, it’s good for the people, it’s good for their teams, it’s good for their families, it’s good for the community, it’s good for the workplace.” - Dr. Kathy Pike
• “Mental health and wellbeing and focusing on these issues in the workplace, you have to continuously demonstrate that it matters. You have to prove and continue to promote buy-in within the organizations. So you need to be able to demonstrate that what you’re doing is having an impact on what you’re aiming to impact.” - Dr. Kathy Pike
• “Emotional intelligence is all about knowing how to navigate our emotions and the emotions of the people we interact with. Whilst emotional inclusion on the other hand, puts emotional intelligence into action.” - Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu
• “Inclusion is a verb and being inclusive of each other’s emotional realm, as you and I are so aligned with, is something that we need to do.” - Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu
• “Nothing will replace who we are as human beings but how AI can bring in additional insights and broaden our perspectives based on the humanity that resides within all of us is going to be fascinating.” - Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu
• “Emotional intelligence versus emotional inclusion, it’s one thing for leaders to know, it’s another for leaders to do. And leaders are really building capacity around mental health and wellbeing at the most progressive organizations.” - Dr. Kathy Pike
