I love a nudge and I love a framework. It appeals to my analytical mind, and as someone who loves checklists, finding a book with short daily nudges toward improved mindset, performance and purpose was gold.
Author of “The Daily Reset” is Dr. Steven MacGregor, Honorary Professor of Health and Wellbeing at the Glasgow School of Art and external advisor for McKinsey & Company. He has helped improve the workplace health and sustainable leadership of tens of thousands of professionals worldwide at organisations such as Salesforce, Santander, and Telefónica.
Workplace wellbeing might seem like a soft term or a tickbox exercise for corporates, but I think in the context of shifting workplace environments as a result of the pandemic and the fact that we spend at least a third of our week at work, it’s important to discuss on the podcast.
Today we talk about:
Workplace ‘Wellness’ vs ‘Wellbeing’
What we can learn from athletes about daily habits
The importance of having chief wellbeing officers and design thinking
How we encourage ‘shower thoughts’
Embracing boredom
The stockdale paradox
Dopamine Fasting
Irigoyen’s daily
The stress equation
Why we need to embrace boredom
