    Prevent Burnout with Mindful Habits and Workplace Wellness Strategies with Megan Flamer

    In this episode of The Paul Taylor Podcast, I sit down with Megan Flamer, an entrepreneur and mindfulness, compassion and resilience trainer, for a fascinating exploration of how ancient wisdom meets modern workplace challenges. We delve into why traditional mindfulness approaches sometimes fall short, especially for those who've experienced trauma, and discover how integrating multiple therapeutic modalities—from psychedelic therapy to EMDR—can create more effective healing pathways. Megan shares her unique insights from Silicon Valley and reveals how organisations can move beyond basic mindfulness programming to create lasting cultural change. Whether you're battling workplace burnout, seeking practical tools for self-awareness, or curious about how philosophical traditions like Stoicism can transform modern leadership, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on bringing contemplative practices into the 21st-century workplace. Key Topics: Professional Background and Silicon Valley Experience Limitations of Traditional Mindfulness Approaches Psychedelic Therapy and Mindfulness Integration Innovation and Contemplative Studies in Business Modern Applications of Ancient Wisdom Practical Burnout Prevention and Workplace Wellness Beyond Traditional Mindfulness Programming Organisational Implementation and Resources Key Takeaways: Supplement traditional mindfulness practices with other therapeutic approaches (like EMDR or tapping) to build a more comprehensive personal wellness strategy. Study both ancient wisdom traditions and modern research to create a personalized practice that combines time-tested principles with contemporary scientific insights. Set up regular self-check-ins to catch signs of burnout before they escalate by tracking your energy levels, sleep quality, and emotional state. Transform meditation concepts into concrete daily habits by identifying specific moments in your workday where you can apply mindful practices. Track and measure the business impact of your mindfulness practice by noting improvements in productivity, decision-making, and team relationships. Keep a daily log of your triggers, reactions, and interaction patterns to build greater self-awareness and improve workplace relationships. Help normalize mindfulness in your workplace by sharing specific examples of how contemplative practices have improved your work performance. Read one classic philosophical text (particularly from Stoicism) each quarter and extract practical applications for your current work challenges.

    How to Build a Thriving Workplace in 90 Days Using Character-Based Leadership with Jason Silver

    In this episode of The Paul Taylor Podcast, I sit down with Jason Silver, author of "Your Grass is Greener," for a masterclass in building thriving workplaces and meaningful careers. Drawing from his extensive startup experience and behavioural science background, Jason challenges conventional wisdom about leadership, revealing why hiring for character trumps skills and how excessive consensus-seeking can paralyse organisations. We explore fascinating personal experiments in mindfulness and productivity, dissect the subtle ways workplace decisions go wrong, and uncover how giving people true autonomy can transform both results and job satisfaction. Whether you're leading a team, building a company, or seeking more fulfilment in your career, this conversation offers evidence-based insights and practical strategies for creating better outcomes at work and in life. Key Topics: Start-up Wisdom: What works and what doesn't in growing companies Character-Based Leadership: Why values matter more than skills Personal Development Experiments: Learning from personal experiments and failures Mindfulness Practices: Making meditation and journaling work for you Workplace Decision-Making: Moving past endless meetings and consensus Professional Autonomy: Letting people choose how they work best Behavioural Science in the Workplace: How our brain affects workplace choices Key Takeaways: Choose people based on who they are, not just what they can do. Remove those who don't match your values quickly. Don't wait for everyone to agree. Have healthy debates, make clear choices, and move forward. Write down your goals each morning and reflect on your day each evening. Look out for people who say they support decisions but don't follow through with actions. Give your team freedom to choose how they complete tasks, rather than controlling every step. Try to find information that challenges what you think you know, rather than just confirming it. Make people and culture your top priority, not just an afterthought.
