We spend most of our time at work, even today when so many of us are working remotely. It makes sense that we want to feel connected to our teammates and coworkers.
But often, we don’t know how to do that. We’re not sure what to say when we see a coworker struggling so we remain quiet. That’s not helping them, and it’s not helping us to create real connections. Connections that go beyond work friends to true friendships.
This week on the podcast, guest Daniel O’Shea and I discuss the stigma around mental health conversations at work and how we can create a language of support so that everyone feels safe.
In the age of mental health tools, there’s support out there. But unfortunately many organizations don’t allow for vulnerability. Daniel has a tool to help with that!
