Ever wondered what it truly takes to build a thriving workplace culture—one where employees are not only high performing but genuinely engaged and supported? I'm excited to share something a little different for this episode of Beyond the Water Cooler. This time, the tables are turned, and I'm the guest, joining Theran Knighton-Fitt on Mygrow's Organisational Effectiveness Webinar for a deep dive into organisational effectiveness, leadership, management, and what really helps employees and businesses to flourish.I talk with Theran about the vital link between workplace culture, leadership practice, and individual wellbeing—and how these connect to organisational performance.Here is a taste of what we talk about:Why effective leaders focus less on tasks and more on creating the right environment for their teams to succeedHow being clear about what ‘good' looks like—at both team and organisational levels—sets the stage for meaningful impactThe shift from command-and-control to human-centred leadership, and what that really means in daily practiceHow open, honest conversation unlocks team intelligence and drives collective achievementTheran and I also get into the realities of modern work, including the loneliness that can arise even in busy workplaces, the challenges of supporting hybrid and virtual teams, and the critical role of emotional intelligence for today's leaders.Practical insights include:How leaders can build trust by being vulnerable and modelling authenticityThe simple, powerful questions that spark meaningful change—like, “What do you need from me?”Why clarity, recognition, and space for reflection are so vital for engagement and sustained performanceWhat it looks like in practice to move from measuring individuals to valuing and enabling the collectiveWhether you're a leader, a manager, or simply someone passionate about healthy workplace culture, there's so much here to support you in building environments where people can do their best work—and feel good doing it.Enjoy this special episode, and let me know your thoughts—how are you enabling your team's collective intelligence and wellbeing?

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Cozy Earth, and Fatty15. When we think about treating depression, we rarely consider exercise. Yet emerging research shows it can be a powerful tool for managing mild to moderate depression, and it works well alongside other therapies—including medication. Today's guest shares the science behind exercise and explores why more practitioners aren't incorporating it into treatment conversations. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nicholas Fabiano to explore the powerful role of exercise in treating depression. Dr. Fabiano introduces the FITT protocol for prescribing exercise and sheds light on the disconnect between physicians and patients when it comes to exercise recommendations. Dhru and Dr. Fabiano also discuss how research funding can shape treatment perspectives, the benefits of combining medication with lifestyle interventions, and the emerging role of creatine in brain energy and its potential impact on depression. Dr. Fabiano emphasizes why exercise is essential for mental health and advocates for a holistic approach to treating depression—one that includes lifestyle pillars like diet and sleep. Nicholas Fabiano is a psychiatry resident and researcher at the University of Ottawa. Drawing from his personal background in weightlifting and competitive soccer, Nicholas developed a strong interest in the use of exercise as a treatment for mental disorders, particularly depression. His research focuses on the intersection of mental and physical health, with a special emphasis on lifestyle psychiatry—exploring how exercise, diet, and sleep influence mental well-being. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Fabiano dive into: Exercise can be as effective as therapy in treating depression (00:27) The importance of finding a provider who exercises and understands its benefits (01:57) The impact of exercise on both the brain and body (04:53) The misperception that all patients want quick fixes (11:11) The side effects of medication and how lifestyle interventions can help counter them (19:18) The FITT protocol and how to prescribe it effectively (23:56) Reframing exercise as an intervention that empowers patients (31:54) Heart rate variability, and why doing what you enjoy matters (31:42) The benefits of stacking exercise with creatine (38:33) How to incorporate creatine into your diet (44:24) Exercise recommendations for beginners, family, and friends (45:02) A lifestyle protocol that can actually induce depression (49:33) Advocating for and educating the public on foundational principles (59:06) An entrepreneurial approach to solving the mental health crisis (01:03:21) How Dr. Fabiano became passionate about brain health (01:05:59) His advice for beginners and how to follow his work (01:11:27) Also mentioned in this episode: John Abramson's book - Sickening Try This: Three Super Crazy Facts about Big Pharma Study on BPA in pregnant women For more on Dr. Fabiano, follow him on Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and his Website.
