It’s been 28 months of virtual and hybrid meetings, and for many companies, not much has changed. We attend more meetings than ever, yet aside from the convenience, few people rave about the quality of virtual meetings.

But it doesn’t have to be this way!

In this episode of The Working Well Podcast, I’m joined by communication expert Lauren Sergy to look at how virtual and hybrid meetings impact our energy, relationships, and ability to communicate well in the workplace.

We touch on everything from the neuroscience of video conferencing, to the responsibilities of leaders and organizations in shaping communications in this new world of virtual and hybrid work. Of course, all of this comes back to impact the overall wellbeing and performance of people and teams.

Today we look at why workplace wellness fails and what to do about it. I’m joined by superstar psychologist and organizational mental health expert Candice Schaefer.  Our conversation shines the spotlight on management, leadership, and the underestimated role of the C-suite in employee well-being…and how that well-being ultimately impacts organizational performance.

Leadership is crucial to the well-being and performance of people and organizations, yet few leaders have received the training needed to be successful in their roles. Stats continually point to the fact that employees rarely leave companies, they leave bad managers. So why is traditional leadership training provided so late in a leader’s journey and often reserved for those who already hold a senior position?

The answer to that provides important insight into our rapidly changing business climate and why it’s ripe for transformation.

Today, we speak with Kelsey Hahn, CEO of Monark about the challenges and opportunities for current and aspiring leaders today. Kelsey is a brilliant leader and executive who is on a mission to democratize corporate leadership training. She provides valuable insights for leaders, employees, and organizations that want to thrive.

In this episode, we are chatting with neuroscientist and researcher, Dr. Ty “The Neuro Guy” McKinney and discovering the amazing benefits that nature has on the human brain.

The best part is that new research in this growing area shows how engaging with natural organic environments can produce tremendous improvements in physical and mental health, stress, resilience, happiness, and even productivity at work.

Tune in to learn the ways leaders and companies can use these tools and research findings to improve corporate culture, the overall employee experience, and of course company performance.
