Work Therapy: When Work Sucks, How Can We Fix It‪?‬ MHS

As a manager, recruiting talent for your organization can feel like a chore. There is a lot that goes into the process, and it’s common to find someone that is a perfect fit on paper but seems like a total mismatch with your team’s dynamic. So how can we find the perfect match between candidates and company culture?

In this episode, Dr. Steven Stein discusses the most common challenges in recruitment with Drew Bird and Carlos Cadogan, experts in talent selection and development. They explore how to revolutionize the hiring process by prioritizing a people-centered approach, navigating internal bias and utilizing tools like emotional intelligence assessments.

How do you approach emotional intelligence in your workplace? Is the rest of your team on board with that approach? You won’t have a lot of luck building out an emotional intelligence program with your team if you don’t share a common understanding of how to work on emotional intelligence together and why it matters.

If you’ve been trying to incorporate these new ideas within your team and they still don’t seem to get it, the trick may be letting them figure it out for themselves. In this episode of Work Therapy with Dr. Steven Stein, we chat with Denny Faurote, founder of The Faurote Group. He is a professional trainer, consultant and executive coach with a background in MHS’ Emotional Quotient-Inventory 2.0® (EQ-i 2.0®). We discuss emotional intelligence (EI) and how we engage with the concept of EI meaningfully in the workplace.

A lot of people struggle with adjusting to new norms, policies and processes in what feels like a constantly changing workplace. And when you aren’t consulted or involved in the decision-making process, a job full of shifting priorities and never-ending deadlines can feel like whiplash! But it doesn’t have to feel that way. 

In this episode of Work Therapy with Dr. Steven Stein, we chat with Dr. Paul Bartone, a retired U.S. Army colonel, Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University, and Adjunct Faculty in Psychiatry at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. He’s an expert in applying psychological, social, cultural, and biological perspectives to the understanding of human behavior. Dr Bartone shares his insights into how to strengthen your ability to adapt in the face of change by cultivating a hardiness mindset.

We’re all thinking about it — so let’s talk about AI. Once again, we’ve found ourselves in the Wild West of a new technology that many worry could put them out of work. We know that as technology evolves, so do trends, tools, demand for goods and services, and jobs. So, it’s true that in 10-15 years, your job as it functions now might not exist —but that doesn’t mean your career won’t. 

In this episode of Work Therapy with Dr. Steven Stein, we chat with Frincy Clement. Frincy is an award-winning Artificial Intelligence leader and the Canadian Ambassador for Women in Artificial Intelligence, a global community of women AI practitioners. We discuss the mark AI will inevitably leave on our careers and how much we should really be concerned about the possibility of job loss. Plus, is ChatGPT a helpful, democratized tool, or is it just telling us what we want to hear?
