MAKING WORK (& LIFE) MORE HUMAN Podcast

What happens when the role, title and routine that helped define you suddenly disappear?

In the first episode of Making Work (& Life) More Human, Nathan McMillen shares part of the story behind Mind Harmony, the questions that followed losing his job just before turning 50, and why those experiences led him toward a larger question:

What if many of the problems we treat as productivity problems are actually human problems?

In this episode:

- Why work can become intertwined with identity

- The difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it

- Why we don't leave the rest of ourselves behind when we go to work

- The origins of the 3R Human Performance OS

- Regulate, Reflect and Respond as a framework for creating more intentional choice

Ask yourself:

Where am I treating a human problem like a productivity problem?

What if the reason change doesn't stick isn't that you need more discipline?

What if there's more happening underneath the behavior?

Welcome to Making Work (& Life) More Human, a short weekly podcast from Nathan McMillen, founder of Mind Harmony and creator of the 3R Human Performance OS™.

This podcast explores the human underneath performance - the nervous-system states, automatic patterns, interpretations, habits and choices that shape how we show up at work, at home and everywhere in between.
