EP 169 | Well-Being: The Missing Conversation at Work | Ruth Kent
When was the last conversation you remember at work about well-being? If you're struggling to recall one, you're not alone—yet well-being and peak performance are undeniable companions in any work positive culture. What if the ripple effect of one person sleeping better could transform an entire team's productivity? How do you move beyond fruit bowls and yoga classes to create genuine well-being cultures that attract top talent and drive business results?
Discover the transformative power of workplace well-being on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette and Ruth Kent. Ruth is a sought-after workplace well-being consultant, health and performance coach, and mindfulness teacher from Brisbane, Australia, who received the 2025 Business Achievement Award from the Health Coaches of Australia and New Zealand for delivering preventative health education in corporations.
Listen as Ruth explores:
☀️ Why self-efficacy is the foundation—believing you can make small changes opens transformational opportunities
☀️ How well-being isn't just a perk but an investment in sustainability of both people and business
☀️ The immediate ripple effects when people sleep better—fewer mistakes, better decisions, innovation unlocked
☀️ Why reputation speaks louder than words when communicating culture to top talent
☀️ How meditation and self-reflection create the pause needed for better interactions and decisions
Ruth transforms how leaders think about well-being by proving that when you invest in people's health, the business benefits are profound, immediate, and sustainable.
🔑 Key Insight: "We need sustainability of the people as well. This is not just a perk, it's actually what you're living and breathing. When you wake up each morning, remember what it is to live, breathe, love—each day is a beginning, the beginning of a new day where you can make the most of your life."
💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Spend time in self-reflection starting today. Whether that's meditation or just taking a few breaths on your own for a couple of minutes every day—before going into the workplace or before a meeting—notice for yourself how that makes you feel. Create that little pause, that little moment where you get self-reflection. Building self-awareness is one of the first steps to building awareness around your interactions with other people and your decisions.
