I've created this "Wisdom Of" series to introduce you to inspiring women who are shining their light brightly and making a positive impact on the world. I believe we can learn so much from each other and my intention is to share wisdom and  love so that together we can make the world a better place.

Today's conversation is with Michele Thomson, Leadership Development Coach & Consultant specializing in employee engagement, communication strategies that encourage meaningful workplace relationships and creating a culture of well-being. Michele started her business, Curis Consulting after her own experience of a dysfunctional workplace resulted in burnout.

Stress and burnout are at an all-time high, and dysfunctional workplaces are a key contributor to this. Michele and I have a dynamic and robust discussion about a variety of workplace-related topics, including:

• Psychological safety in organizations and how to create it
• Leadership being an exchange of energy
• Humanity in the workplace
• The importance of kindness, trust, empathy, and love in business and work
• Seeing people as a whole individual, not just labelling them as an employee
• The difference between stress and burnout
• Self-care practices

If you're a leader, manager, an employee, a business consultant, or anyone working with organizations, you'll want to listen to this conversation that covers so many important and timely topics. 

A bit more about Michele:
Michele supports individuals and organizations struggling with how to prioritize human connections over bottom lines. She combines mindfulness and building self-mastery in leaders to bring humanity back to the workplace so individuals can find joy in their work, and create workplaces that people never want to leave. 

​After 25 years of clinical, operations and facilitator/educator experience, Michele developed her own approach to creating psychologically healthy workplaces.
