In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Jen Fisher, one of the most influential voices shaping how leaders think about work, wellbeing, and human sustainability. Jen is the former Chief Wellbeing Officer at Deloitte, where she spent more than two decades helping leaders confront burnout, redesign work, and rethink what success actually means inside large, complex organizations.The conversation centers on the ideas behind Jen's book, Hope Is the Strategy, and challenges a deeply held leadership assumption: that hope is soft, naive, or something leaders turn to only when plans fall apart. Instead, Jen reframes hope as a disciplined leadership capability, one that becomes essential when teams feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or quietly disengaged.Drawing on research, lived experience, and her work with senior executives, Jen explains why even the smartest strategies fail when people don't believe their work will lead to a better future. She explores how leaders unintentionally drain hope through silence, false certainty, or performative wellbeing efforts, and why truth, agency, and credibility matter more than optimism.The discussion also tackles the limits of traditional wellness programs, the growing tension leaders feel amid constant disruption and AI-driven change, and why many organizations are still solving the wrong problems. Throughout the episode, Jen offers a grounded, practical lens on what it really takes to lead human beings, especially when leaders themselves don't have all the answers.This is a thoughtful, candid conversation for CEOs and senior leaders who sense that something fundamental is missing in how organizations motivate, engage, and move people forward, and who want a more honest way to think about leadership in uncertain times.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why hope is not a feeling or slogan, but a leadership capability that requires clarity, agency, and follow-through.Hear how even well-designed strategies break down when leaders can't articulate how change will improve people's lives.Discover why silence and false certainty erode trust faster than difficult truths ever will.Hear how leaders can acknowledge burnout and uncertainty without becoming pessimistic or paralyzed.Learn why most corporate wellbeing efforts fail to move the needle, and what they overlook about daily work design.Explore how hope and wellbeing reinforce each other and why neither can be treated as a standalone initiative.Hear why leading humans in an AI-enabled workplace requires skills most organizations never train leaders to develop.Learn how credible hope helps teams move forward even when leaders don't have clear answers or perfect plans.Connect with the Jen FisherJen Fisher LinkedInJen Fisher WebsiteHope Is the Strategy: The Underrated Skill That Transforms Work, Leadership, and WellbeingConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Dr. Dhaval Desai, an Atlanta-based internal medicine–pediatrics physician and former hospitalist director, shares his path from studying economics and Spanish and teaching high school to training abroad and leading a 30-physician hospitalist group at Emory St. Joseph's with a split clinical/administrative role. He describes how COVID-era pressures and a new baby contributed to burnout, sleep and mood issues, and seeking therapy and medication, later deepening his advocacy through a memoir and work with the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes Foundation, noting about 400 U.S. physicians die by suicide annually. After being rejected for a chief wellbeing officer role and facing institutional limits on speaking publicly, he hired an executive coach and resigned, concluding loyalty can hold physicians back. He pivoted to direct primary care by purchasing a retiring physician's practice, citing autonomy, fewer patients, and reduced bureaucracy as key to preventing burnout. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Physician Loyalty Can Become a Career Trap: Dr. Desai learned that his loyalty to his institution, patients, and colleagues was actually holding him back from making necessary career changes. His executive coach's blunt advice - "Nobody is going to give a shit if you leave tomorrow" - proved true when he resigned. Healthcare systems will move on, regardless of individual contributions, and physicians need to recognize when loyalty is preventing them from pursuing fulfillment. Institutional Control Compromises Professional Integrity: Large healthcare systems often restrict physicians' ability to speak freely and advocate for what they believe in, even on humanitarian issues. Dr. Desai's experience being called in after writing an op-ed about ICE raids in hospitals showed how "the firm" can force physicians to compromise their values. This institutional pressure, combined with being passed over for the Chief Wellbeing Officer position, revealed that systems may pigeonhole physicians regardless of their capabilities. Direct Primary Care Offers Control and Prevents Burnout: Transitioning to a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model allowed Dr. Desai to reclaim control over his schedule, patient panel size, and work-life balance. By eliminating insurance billing bureaucracy and middle management, he now spends 30-60 minutes per patient visit instead of documenting for 6 hours daily. This autonomy - combined with ongoing therapy and medication - has eliminated the "dread of going to work" and allows him to pursue advocacy, media, and other passions without institutional gatekeeping. Meet Dr. Dhaval Desai: Dr. Dhaval Desai is a dual board-certified Internal Medicine and Pediatrics physician who transitioned from hospital leadership into Direct Primary Care to practice medicine with deeper connection and purpose. He is the author of "Burning Out on the COVID Front Lines..." and host of the podcast SEEN IN FULL, where he explores burnout, identity, advocacy, and the human experience in modern work and life.

In this episode of Being Human, I speak with Jen Fisher, former Chief Wellbeing Officer at Deloitte and author of Hope Is the Strategy. After experiencing severe burnout herself, Jen discovered that hope isn't wishful thinking — it's a measurable, actionable skill grounded in research. We explore why burnout may actually be a symptom of hopelessness, how leaders unintentionally kill hope through language and behaviour, and why cultivating agency, multiple pathways, and honest truth-telling transforms culture. Jen shares practical tools, including hope audits, hope spotting, and the power of vulnerability in leadership. We discuss: Burnout as a crisis of hopelessness What real hope actually means Leadership language that builds or kills hope Practical tools to cultivate hopeful cultures Links: Jen's Website

In this episode, Kate Bravery, Global Leader of Talent Advisory at Mercer, is joined by Dr. Andrew Tay, Chief Wellbeing Officer at the National University of Singapore (NUS). They discuss the role of the Chief Wellbeing Officer and the evolving mental health challenges faced by NUS students, including insights into the value of in-person collaboration. Additionally, they explore the implications of these challenges for businesses concerning the next generation of talent emerging from universities.Interesting moments:Who owns well-beingAt the end of it all well-being is a whole organization approach. It is not a HR problem. It is not a manager problem. It's not a CEO problem. It's everybody's problem, everybody has a role to play.Value of in-person workWhen students learn remotely their risk of developing self-esteem issues increases. Think of your remote work policies. The in-office arrangement allows the community to connect socially, improve connectivity and reduce isolation.Psychological safetyWe started to track the concept of incivility. Those teams with a low incivility score were more likely to have higher psychological safety. What does that mean? It means you need to manage the behavior of your colleagues. You cannot tolerate remarks aimed at hurting people.Anticipating workforce needs We are training the next batch of our workforce who will be entering into your workplace. It is important for HR to anticipate the kind of issues that young people are facing before they enter the workforce and the kind of support that can help them thrive.https://www.mercer.com/insights/people-strategy/future-of-work/podcast-new-shape-of-work/

In S5 E4 I am delighted to welcome Dr Anna Baverstock to the podcast, Anna is a consultant in community child health looking after children with complex neurodisability and their families. She has been an educational supervisor and Associate DME for support and wellbeing. She was invited to be a member of the NHS Staff and Learners' Mental Wellbeing Commission in 2019 (Mental Wellbeing Report | Health Education England (hee.nhs.uk)). Currently she is lead for senior doctor wellbeing and leadership within Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. Anna is a trained coach, mediator and Schwartz round facilitator. Her philosophy is how do we ensure the first patient of the shift and the last get the same kind, safe care? We must look after ourselves and our teams during our working day. A big part of this is how we connect to self and others especially when under pressure. Can we form brave spaces to enable honest conversation that enable growth and change? When not talking she loves to run, do yoga, read, draw and doodle often inspired by quotes or poems that resonate. In this wonderful conversation we discuss Anna's wellbeing leadership, mediation and coaching work. Key themes discussed here include : Deep listening - to understand and connect, not reply or control.Brave conversations- how can we lean into the challenging conversations including where there is conflict or we need to give or receive difficult feedback. As Anna tells it "Difficult conversations don't get easier, but we get braver" with practice.Connection- in her work to empower and support core work-unit leaders in healthcare and build kind, inclusive cultures where high challenge comes with high support, psychological safety is the means and the goal is connection and creating space for deep listening.

Today I interview Nicholas Whitaker who shares his journey of finding his place in the world. He felt out of place in his hometown and decided to leave, which led him to Baltimore where he struggled with poverty and lived with a woman that was not a good fit. For years, he lived in unstable housing, including his car and squat buildings, while working in restaurants and coffee shops to make ends meet. During this period, he often turned to partying to escape reality. However, his perspective changed after experiencing hallucinogens, which sparked his interest in exploring consciousness and understanding his place in the world. Following his time in Baltimore, Nicholas moved to New York City to attend film school, where he discovered that he was more passionate about telling other people's stories than his own. This led him to become a documentary filmmaker, instructor, and teacher, working with various industries such as business, government, nonprofits, advocacy groups, universities, and even the Occupy Wall Street movement. Through his work, he aimed to give people a voice and help them tell their stories in a way that resonates with others. After meeting his partner, Nicholas relocated to Colorado to be closer to nature and have more space to process and deal with his experiences. Since 2013, he has been on a journey of self-discovery, learning how to help others through the experiences he has overcome and the things he has learned along the way. He describes his experience with hallucinogens as a catalyst moment for him to explore consciousness and better understand the world, which he has been investigating and discovering ever since. ________________________Nicholas is a Chief Wellbeing Officer and Coach helping tech workers and founders thrive in ambiguity.
