Nobody is perfect. When you make a mistake, do you treat yourself with compassion? Or do you fall into harmful patterns of shame-based interior dialogue?

Shawn Achor is best known for The #Happiness Advantage, which introduced a counterintuitive but evidence-backed idea: happiness is not a reward for #success, but a precursor to it. His TED Talk, The Happy Secret to Better Work, brought that message to 25mm people worldwide and helped shift how leaders think about performance. He's my new podcast guest, one of the most downloaded episodes in our show's history. #EmployeeWellBeing #Management #Business #Mindset buff.ly/q74oREd

My New Podcast! Shawn Achor is one of the most influential voices in positive psychology and human performance. His TED Talk, The Happy Secret to Better Work, has been viewed 25mm times because it challenged a deeply held belief that stress and pressure are required for high performance. Author of the international bestseller,The Happiness Advantage, Achor joins me to discuss his new book, The Power of Belief, and why our internal beliefs may quietly determine what we attempt, what we avoid, and what we ultimately become capable of.

We’re More “Connected” Than Ever — Yet #Loneliness, #Burnout & #MentalHealth Have Never Been Worse In my new @PsychologyToday article, I explain how our always-on digital culture is quietly destroying human #wellbeing. It's fueling exhaustion, technostress and disconnection -- and we're all feeling it. The consequences are showing up everywhere. I was asked if I had meaningful remedies (especially for leaders) and wrote this because I do. Psychology Today editors named it an “Essential Read.” #Leadership #Management #Technology #FutureOfWork Read the full article here: buff.ly/qRZXahU

Here’s the paradox of modern work: Organizations are asking people to deliver more creativity, innovation, and adaptability -- while doing little to support the conditions that make those things possible: Autonomy, rest, belonging and psychological/emotional #WellBeing. #Leadership #HR #SHRM #CSuite #Work

Dr. Gillian Sandstrom, psychology professor at the University of Sussex and author of "Once Upon a Stranger: The Science of How Small Talk Can Add Up To a Big Life," has spent 16 years studying one surprising truth: initiating brief conversations with strangers can meaningfully improve our mood, reduce anxiety, and even open doors to unexpected opportunities. She's the surprise podcast guest of the year so far -- so interesting when we're all starving for greater #connection. Plz listen! #WellBeing #Belonging #FutureOfWork #Education buff.ly/guJgQ6M

Which is why we might steer away from punishing it: People do not learn anywhere near as much from their successes; we learn more from on failures and from reflecting on them. #Leadership #HR #SHRM #Management #Career #WellBeing .

Quote of the day. #qotd

It's a false dichotomy to think you can't care about your people and drive performance at the time. One doesn't come as a cost to the other. #Leadership #HR #SHRM #Management #WellBeing

Our difficult emotions aren't just painful experiences that we need to tolerate. If we breathe into them for a moment, we’ll begin to see them as data that signposts our needs and values.

You can't hold your team accountable for standards you don't model yourself. Accountability starts in the mirror. Lead by example — or don't lead at all. 🔑 #Leadership #Accountability #LeadByExample #GrowthMindset #LeadershipQuotes

Here's What I Believe Will Be The Future of #Workplace #Leadership Starting Now: In the rapidly emerging #AI era: leadership will shift away from purely managerial or technocratic styles toward leaders who can create trust, meaning, emotional connection, and moral clarity — the very things AI can't do. As AI handles more analysis and efficiency work, human leadership will become more centered on courage, empathy, authenticity and caring about their employee's emotional needs. A major reversal from what we have today. #WellBeing #HR #SHRM #LeadFromTheHeart
