In Episode 311 of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with Paula Davis — former lawyer, author of Beating Burnout at Work, and founder of the Stress and Resilience Institute — to unpack why burnout isn't an individual failure, it's a team dynamic. Together, they explore how leaders can prevent burnout by fostering empathy, connection, and intrinsic motivation. Paula introduces her powerful concept of TNTs (Tiny Noticeable Things) — small, intentional actions that spark trust, boost morale, and improve workload management across teams. If you've ever wondered how to build a culture where people actually thrive, this episode is your blueprint for leading with empathy and resilience — and creating a workplace that energizes rather than exhausts. Inside This Episode: Burnout, Reframed: Why burnout prevention starts with team dynamics, not just individual stress management. Meet the TNTs: How Tiny Noticeable Things can transform connection, communication, and collaboration. The ABC Framework: The three psychological nutrients every thriving team needs — Autonomy, Belonging, and Challenge. Empathy as Strategy: Why emotionally intelligent leadership is your best defense against burnout. From Surviving to Sustaining: How to create resilient teams that adapt, connect, and stay motivated. Who This Episode Is For: Leaders who want to prevent burnout before it starts. HR and people pros focused on workplace well-being. Teams looking to strengthen connection and intrinsic motivation. Tune in to learn how to lead like you give a damn — and build teams that are calm, connected, and resilient enough to handle whatever the workday throws their way. Blocked time, made lists, promised yourself this time will be different—and yet by 5 PM, the work that actually matters is still staring back at you. Enter The Ready-Made 90-Minute Focus Kit: your done-for-you reset for ditching distractions and finally making progress on what matters most.

‘More Sufficiency Now!' tees - for a limited time onlyInspired by listener Rob Law's question on why sufficiency isn't more of a thing in Australia, Frankie speculates anew that a insufficiency of sufficiency-themed t-shirts may be to blame... but no more! YOU can make sufficiency a thing by heading to our merch page and grabbing one of these tees, which will only be available for the next four weeks. Run, don't walk over to: www.letmesumup.net/p/merch/.—It might not be Gassy McGasface, but don't let the innocuously named ‘Gas Market Review'  fool you! This is a 3-for-the-price-of-1 all-you-can-eat buffet of gas policy options, cooked up by Ministers Chris Bowen and Madeleine King, featuring the Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism (ADGSM), Mandatory Gas Code of Conduct AND the Heads of Agreement. And what of the infamous Future Gas Strategy? Could it be on the secret menu for an encore at the ol' DCCEEW cafe? We reckon now is as good a time as any to craft a holistic gas strategy - including domestic demand and future export strategies.Our main courseThis week your intrepid hosts are tripping the light taxonomic as we frolic through the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute's ‘Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy - V1 2025'. There is a lot to digest here as the taxonomy traverses technical screening criteria for green, transitional and decarbonisation measures across six sectors of the economy, do no significant harm criteria and minimum social safeguards. All while ensuring interoperability with other countries' taxonomies and setting the scene for further future uses of the Australian Government. Phewy! Hat tip to the fine folks at ASFI for this epic adventure, at one point prompting a somewhat unfortunate analogy to another (much more problematic) epic adventure in Gone With The Wind. We're Sorry.One more thingsFrankie's One More Thing is: a PSA for an interesting-looking and excellently-punny named report, “Refined Ambitions: Exploring Australia's Low Carbon Liquid Fuel Potential' from the folks at the CEFC and Deloitte.Tennant's One More Thing is: the European Commission proposes adding some form of export adjustment (rebate) to the EU CBAM!Luke's One More Thing is: a warm fuzzy hug for his own four letter acronym policy pet, the Wholesale Demand Response Mechanism (WDRM)!

It's Lauren Paul & Molly Thompson Day on the podcast!  Lauren Paul is the co-founder of Kind Campaign and Director, Writer and Producer of Kind Campaign's award-winning documentary, Finding Kind. Finding a way to start a conversation about bullying has been on Lauren's heart ever since her own life-altering experience in middle school. After studying film at Pepperdine University, Lauren joined forces with her friend and fellow filmmaker, Molly Thompson and founded Kind Campaign, a multi-platform movement that has changed and saved hundreds of thousands of lives, friendships, classrooms and communities around the world. Kind Campaign is the nation's premier anti-bullying movement for girls and has impacted millions through their school assemblies, documentary film, Kind Club Curriculum and global movement. Since 2009, Lauren and Molly have been on the forefront of this conversation, personally speaking in over 776 schools across 26 Founders Tours. Lauren has been awarded with the Public Education Award by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Open Heart Award by the Open Hearts Foundation. Molly hails from Texas where she lived for all of her life before moving to California to attend Pepperdine University where she met her “partner in KIND,” Lauren. During her time at the university, Molly studied acting and film/television production, joined Delta Gamma Fraternity, and studied abroad in Florence and London. This combination of experiences led her to understand even more that as girls, we weren't all that different from one another, and that bullying often comes from a place of self-doubt and insecurity. She has spent many years now working to change the status quo and encouraging girls to ban together rather than farther apart. Lauren Paul and Molly Thomson joined me to talk about how and why Kind Campaign started over 15 years ago, the thousands and thousands of lives that have been changed over the years because of their work, and so much more. ✅ Follow Lauren on Instagram. ✅ Follow Molly on Instagram. ✅ Follow Kind Campaign on Instagram. ✅ Visit Kind Campaign's website to get involved today! ________________________ ✊
