On Health and Recognition

Depression, anxiety, loneliness… difficult topics that increasingly knock on the doors of our offices and teams. How can we deal with them? And why can one sincere “I appreciate you” have more impact than any benefit package? This episode is a recording of a leaders’ conversation on mental health, recognition and neurodiversity. You’ll hear definitions, stories, data and practical tips. If you’re a leader – this is a must-listen. Topics covered: Depression ≠ sadness. How to tell the difference? Anxiety at work – when it’s more than stress. Doomscrolling and depression – what research shows. Everyday recognition – small gestures, big impact. Loneliness at the office – the hidden wellbeing crisis.
