Passion & Profits Without Burnout

Avoiding stress is a buzzworthy topic with thousands of health experts, influencers, and self-proclaimed gurus all weighing in. But what if stress isn't necessarily a bad thing? In this episode, Jacob Moore hosts a conversation with mental health veteran and acclaimed author Mike Bushman, who believes that stress in the proper amount is healthy and even useful.

What you'll learn in this episode:

1. How to approach workplace mental health management with the RISE, AIM, SOAR program
2. What RISE teaches us about understanding stress
3. Practical techniques for promoting employee mental health

By properly managing your workplace's stress environment, you can fuel productivity and keep employee morale high. This is Part 1 of a 3 part series.

Mike Bushman is a writer, speaker and trainer focused on mental health and suicide prevention. Mike serves as a board member with the Illinois Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), a volunteer with NoStigmas and as a Youth and Teen Mental Health First Aid Instructor.

Mike is the author of books Pain to Purpose: Teaching Teens to Lead, Foster and Engage the JKB Way and Suicide Escape that dive into the complexities of mental health.

Mike created an evidence-based, vetted workplace mental health training program built on research, personal mental health experiences and years of managing individuals with various mental health challenges. He facilitated research groups on disclosure considerations for suicide attempt survivors for the National Consortium on Stigma and Empowerment. In addition to Youth and Teen Mental Health First Aid, Mike regularly conducts More Than Sad, Talk Saves Lives and other training programs on behalf of AFSP and has extensively shared his personal story of recovery and hope.

"Imagine an employee who can't problem solve, can't regulate their emotions, can't find their memory. Is that going to be an ideal employee? Clearly not. So we have to understand how stress works in order to manage it appropriately." - Mike Bushman

What you'll learn in this episode:

1. How to determine the best route to your goals
2. Understand if your goals are aligned with your wellness needs
3. Identify your “Defender” that will stop you from reaching them

Studies show that goal-setting is extremely beneficial when it comes to inspiring action and real, tangible success. But so many times, we fall short of our goals and the resulting discouragement causes the worst-case scenario: doing nothing at all. In this episode, Jacob explains the concept of S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goal-setting and shares how this powerful acronym can help you set goals that will leave you feeling encouraged and better prepared to develop further as a service leader.

What you'll learn in this episode:

1. The statistics of goal-setting
2. How to harness the power of good goal-setting
3. How to set S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goals

"When we are excruciatingly detailed with our goal setting, there's magic that happens in our brains. We have the power to imagine things into fruition. In our mind's eye, we can create the vision of a very specific goal, and the more detail you provide to that goal, the more your mind will see it as something real." - Jacob Moore
