In this episode, I speak with the Vice President of Field Culture and Inclusion at Clayco, Dan Lester. Dan is also a tireless mental health advocate. In our conversation, we start to connect these workplace challenges in meaningful ways and get comfortable being uncomfortable.
Three takeaways:
1. Work to see ALL of the people around you. Even the ones that push you out of your comfort zone.
2. Get in the game. Behave until you believe.
3. Don't forget about yourself. You are the answer to your problems.

Psychological safety goes beyond just a fear of making mistakes or suggesting new ideas — it’s really a deep feeling of trust. Psychologically safe environments are where people believe “you have my back” in all areas: when I am learning, when I feel different than others, and when I am having a very difficult time.
Psychologically safe and healthy workplaces actively seek to promote workers’ emotional health and prevent psychosocial hazards due to workplace factors.

And yet, workplaces are often underprepared and react rather than respond when faced with mental health emergencies.
Take a listen to the lessons learned and actionable take-aways to promote mental health and wellbeing and support people through tough times – at work.
