Hard to Handle: Getting a Grip on Balancing Stress in the Office and at Home

The CEO Podcast

In this episode, Scott and Vince address the critical, and less-talked-about, issue of anxiety and mental health struggles. Stress is everywhere in our lives—it is not limited to the office, and sometimes, we bring the stresses of work home with us and they intensify the stresses at home. The pandemic added additional stresses in the form of isolation and depression and that has continued for some in their new remote work environments. Mental health struggles are something that affects a lot of people and this is complicated by the fact that only a few percent of people want to talk about their mental health. Through personal narratives and real workplace scenarios, our hosts share how to:

1. Effectively communicate and help people who are struggling.
2. Be a good listener and offer a helping hand.
3. Engage people who want to be engaged
4. Leverage therapy as a resource
5. And most importantly, how to build and practice empathy.

If you know someone in your organization who is struggling with their mental health, your role is not to just inform HR. Instead, it is your responsibility to recognize, understand, and offer ways to help them.
