With the cost of living crisis hitting hard and unemployment on the rise, how is the mental health of employees fairing?
In this episode of The WorkWell Podcast™, Jen Fisher speaks with Zach Mercurio, author of "The Power of Mattering: How Leaders Can Create a Culture of Significance." Despite billions invested in engagement programs and wellbeing initiatives, employees are more disengaged than ever—and the problem isn't what most leaders think. This conversation reveals why mattering can't be addressed through programs and perks, and what leaders must do differently at the interaction level to help people feel truly seen, valued, and significant.Episode Highlights:Why engagement is at its lowest point in a decade despite $2 billion invested in programsThe difference between mattering, belonging, and inclusion—and why mattering is what's missingHow we've lost the skills to care for each other after 25 years of digital communicationThe "sprinkler issues" that silently kill motivation and create learned helplessnessWhy high performers and frontline workers are most at risk of feeling invisibleThe three practices that help people feel significant: noticing, affirming, and showing they're neededWhy you can't give effective feedback to someone who doesn't first feel that they matter to youHow showing others they matter actually regenerates your own sense of significanceQuotable Moment"You don't show people that they matter in spite of their low performance. You show people that they matter so that you can regenerate their energy and confidence to perform well." - Zach MercurioLyra Lens:Sarah Haggerty, Clinical Psychologist and Neuroscientist at Lyra Health, explores the practical skills managers need to notice when someone's struggling and how to check in appropriately. She also breaks down the concept of "10% more depth" in workplace relationships.Resources:This episode of The WorkWell Podcast™ is made possible by Lyra Health, a premier global workforce mental health solution.

Brandon Cornthwaite's story is one of discipline overcoming distraction. Growing up in South Africa, a country shaped by military rigor, Brandon's journey took him from the world of elite cycling to a life in the military. Throughout his varied career, Brandon discovered that maintaining physical fitness wasn't just about health—it was key to unlocking energy, focus, and professional success. Living with ADHD, Brandon dedicated himself to exercise as a way to boost cognitive performance, manage neurotransmitter balance, and avoid the need for medication. His commitment to staying active helps him harness his rapid-fire mind and translates to resilience and sharpness in his work and life. Brandon is an industrial sales professional with more than 27 years of experience and a passionate advocate for blending fitness with high sales performance. Brandon draws on his rich background—including his Red Seal in instrumentation and leadership roles within the ISA—to reveal how physical well-being and daily fitness routines can fuel focus, discipline, resilience, and long-term success in the demanding world of sales. Whether you're struggling to juggle work, family, and self-care, or looking for practical strategies to beat burnout and boost motivation, Brandon shares actionable habits for busy professionals. This episode will inspire you to move more, eat better, rest smarter—and ultimately, sell at your very best. Outline of This Episode [00:00] The importance of meditation and daily movement. [04:13] Tailoring your fitness regime for active aging. [09:30] Recognizing signs of burnout and what to do about it. [11:08] Brandon's morning routine. [15:20] Movement relieves stress and clears the mind. How Daily Movement, Mental Wellbeing, and Smart Lifestyle Choices Drive Sales Excellence According to Brandon, “Discipline will beat dopamine every time.” He draws a direct line between physical exercise and improved professional performance. Regular movement boosts blood flow and oxygenates the brain, leading to sharper cognitive performance and sustained focus. Having been both an elite cyclist and ex-military, Brandon's life is a testament to the value of discipline and routine. Comparing pushing through physical limits in competition to overcoming obstacles in sales. In sales, as in sports, it's discipline—not fleeting bursts of motivation—that sustains high achievement. Meditation, Movement, and Mindful Mornings Contrary to the belief that fitness is reserved for athletes or the endlessly energetic, Brandon insists that even small, intentional routines yield big benefits. His days start with meditation, a practice that sets intentions and centers the mind, improving focus for the day ahead. Far from being “hippie,” as he jokes, meditation is an anchor—one he used even in elite sports to visualize winning and manage pre-race anxiety. Morning movement follows: a set of push-ups, squats, or a short round of resistance training gets blood flowing and primes the body and mind for productivity. For Brandon, variety matters less than consistency. Coupling movement with meditation creates a one-two punch against stress, brain fog, and lethargy—common enemies among sales pros. Sleep, Nutrition, and Active Recovery: The Overlooked Performance Drivers Sleep hygiene and active recovery are cornerstones of Brandon's approach, prioritizing real rest was a game-changer for his health and work. His evening ritual includes warm-to-cool showers, which support recovery and improve sleep quality. Nutrition habits deserve equal attention. With tempting fast food at every corner, Brandon recommends meal planning and prepping to ensure nutrient-dense food is always on hand. Little tweaks, like carrying healthy snacks or picking up groceries instead of drive-thru takeout, reinforce a disciplined, intentional approach to health. Countering Burnout, Fatigue, and “Screen Poisoning” Sales professionals frequently battle fatigue and burnout, exacerbated by sedentary remote work, endless screen time, and the stress of high targets. Brandon calls this “screen poisoning” and suggests that scheduling mini-breaks—such as walks, stretches, or even standing meetings—can help offset poor posture, low energy, and mental drain. He urges salespeople to recognize warning signs, including declining focus, irritability, frequent illness, and a lack of motivation. The remedy for Brandon is to take a walk, breathe, and step away. He also suggests reaching out to communities and connections, whether coaches, colleagues, or friends, to maintain motivation and emotional health. A fit, resilient sales professional is an unstoppable one. Small, daily habits—grounded in discipline, movement, recovery, and community—transform both your sales performance and your life.

What's really happening in midlife—menopause, andropause, or just a “crisis”? It is unpacked how aging and declining hormones affect mood, sleep, drive, cognition, and sexual function, and why comprehensive testing and balancing can restore vitality. They reframe lovemaking as daily connection—communication, touch, and shared time—rather than performance metrics. Common barriers include poor circulation, excess weight, and limiting beliefs.

Why do top performers, respected leaders, and trusted professionals all share one trait? They're never just on time—they're early. In this episode, we unpack the hidden power of arriving ten minutes early to meetings, interviews, and events. Discover how this simple habit builds trust, reduces stress, sharpens your focus, and opens the door to stronger relationships. You'll learn practical strategies to plan ahead, avoid common time traps, and use those precious minutes to set intentions, gather your thoughts, and magnetise the outcomes you want. Respecting time—yours and others'—is more than politeness; it's a game-changing advantage. Song: Ten Minutes Early (Is On Time) [Verse 1] Plan for the traffic, plan for the rain, Give yourself space, avoid the strain. Take a breath, gather your thoughts, Win the meeting before it starts. Shake a hand, share a smile, Build rapport, it's worth the while. Respect their time, respect your fate, Remember this rule—don't arrive late. [Chorus] Ten minutes early is on time, On time is late, don't cross that line. Better to breathe, prepare your mind, Than rush in stressed, and fall behind. Ten minutes early, make it a trait, On time is late… on time is late. [Verse 2] Start with the end in mind, write it down, What do you seek when you come around? Outcomes magnetised, clear and bright, Walking in ready, your aim in sight. Confidence grows when you're prepared, Opportunities show you cared. Lost time is gone, can't recreate, That's why the wise never arrive late. [Chorus] Ten minutes early is on time, On time is late, don't cross that line. Better to breathe, prepare your mind, Than rush in stressed, and fall behind. Ten minutes early, make it a trait, On time is late… on time is late. [Bridge] “Punctuality's the soul of business,” they say, Shakespeare warned, “better hours too soon than a minute too late.” Benjamin Franklin said, “Lost time's never found again,” So honour each moment, it will pay dividends. [Chorus – repeat, with energy] Ten minutes early is on time, On time is late, don't cross that line. Better to breathe, prepare your mind, Than rush in stressed, and fall behind. Ten minutes early, make it a trait, On time is late… on time is late. [Outro] Respect their time, respect your fate, Ten minutes early… on time is late.

Are you spending your life running away from pain, problems, and fear—or are you running toward something brighter? The difference matters. When we fixate on what we don't want, we often create more of it. But when we set our sights on a positive goal and a compelling vision of the future, we unlock the energy and focus to make it real. In this episode, we explore the mindset shift from avoidance to aspiration. You'll discover how “where attention goes, energy flows and results show,” why gratitude is the foundation of a happy and successful life, and how daily visualization practices can help you design and attract the future you truly want. It's time to stop running away—and start running toward.
This week has been a powerful reminder that true strength isn't just measured on the field. From All Blacks legend Sir John Kirwan opening up about his journey and championing Mental Health Performance Plans, to AFL superstar Bailey Smith's moving announcement at the All-Australian Team night, the conversation around mental health in sport—and in life—is breaking barriers. In this episode, we reflect on the courage it takes to speak out, the importance of daily “mental fitness” practices, and how athletes at the top of their game remind us that vulnerability is not weakness—it's a foundation for resilience, connection, and growth. Whether you're an athlete, a business leader, or simply navigating life's ups and downs, this episode is about finding strength in the struggle and building your own performance wellness plan.
Dr. Chris Masterjohn is the host of the Mastering Nutrition Podcast and founder of Mitome, where he helps people optimize their mitochondrial health through advanced analysis. He received his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut, completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois, and served as Assistant Professor at Brooklyn College before choosing to work independently - free from institutional constraints - in science research and education. His groundbreaking SSRI series on his substack hasn't just exposed the truth about these drugs. It's revealed that we've been looking at them completely wrong. Dr. McFillin and Dr. Masterjohn expose how these drugs act as mitochondrial toxins, disrupt cellular energy, and deplete serotonin. They also explore the consequences no one talks about: from prenatal exposure to why so many patients say they feel “dead inside.”Chris Masterjohn, PhD Website Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

By mastering stress, we can enhance our quality of life, improve our physical and mental health, and foster a more positive outlook. Here are some effective strategies and tips to help you manage stress and lead a healthier life. 1. Identify Your Stressors The first step in managing stress is to identify what triggers it. Keep a stress journal to track situations, events, or people that cause you stress. Note your reactions and any patterns that emerge. Understanding your stressors helps you develop strategies to avoid or mitigate them. 2. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation Mindfulness and meditation are powerful tools for reducing stress. These practices help you stay present, focus on your breath, and cultivate a sense of calm. Even just a few minutes of daily meditation can significantly lower stress levels and improve emotional regulation. 3. Exercise Regularly Physical activity is one of the most effective ways to combat stress. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a workout at the gym, regular exercise can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost overall health. 4. Maintain a Healthy Diet What you eat can affect your stress levels. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains provides the nutrients your body needs to function optimally. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugar, which can exacerbate stress and anxiety. 5. Get Enough Sleep Adequate sleep is crucial for stress management. Lack of sleep can increase stress levels and make it harder to cope with everyday challenges. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Establish a bedtime routine, create a comfortable sleep environment, and avoid screens before bed to improve sleep quality. 6. Learn to Say No Overcommitting yourself can lead to increased stress. Recognize your limits and learn to say no when necessary. Prioritize your tasks and delegate when possible. Setting boundaries helps you manage your time and energy more effectively. 7. Connect with Others Social support is vital for stress management. Spend time with family and friends, join a support group, or engage in community activities. Talking about your stressors with someone you trust can provide relief and new perspectives. 8. Practice Relaxation Techniques Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to manage stress. Deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization can help you relax and reduce stress. Find what works best for you and make it a regular practice. 9. Manage Your Time Effectively Time management is key to reducing stress. Plan your day, set realistic goals, and prioritize tasks. Break larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps and avoid procrastination. Effective time management helps you feel more in control and reduces stress. 10. Seek Professional Help If stress becomes overwhelming, don't hesitate to seek professional help. A therapist or counselor can provide support and teach coping strategies. Sometimes, just talking to a professional can provide relief and help you develop a plan to manage stress. Mastering stress is essential for leading a healthier, happier life. By identifying your stressors, practicing mindfulness, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, learning to say no, connecting with others, practicing relaxation techniques, managing your time effectively, and seeking professional help when needed, you can reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. Remember, managing stress is a continuous process, and finding what works best for you is key to achieving lasting peace and balance.

Reflecting on childhood experiences on a mini bike reveals that Mindfulness isn't complicated. It's about being fully present in the moment just like an 11-year-old on a tiny motorcycle. Today, we explore how motorcycle riding creates the perfect conditions for Mindfulness through sensory engagement and gratitude.
My guest is Dr. Marc Berman, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago whose research explores how different physical environments—particularly nature and patterns found in nature—can positively impact our ability to focus, our cognitive performance and our mental and physical health. We discuss how our physical environment influences our attention, stress levels and brain and heart health. He explains how even brief periods in nature and exposure to natural images and sounds can restore and improve attentional capacity, reduce mental fatigue and help combat rumination and depression. Whether you live in a city, suburb or rural area, this episode offers simple science-backed strategies for incorporating nature and natural elements into your daily life to positively transform your cognitive ability and mental and physical health.

Almost 10 years after getting his Doctorate in Management, Dr. Izzy Justive pivoted towards Neuroscience with the advent of wireless EEG technology that allowed real-time access to brain while performing all kinds of tasks. Since then Izzy has observed 1000s of human performance activities resulting in the creation of a library of patent-pending Neurohacks that allow real-time quick 'cognitive performance boosters' by temporarily reducing distractions to allow high performance in critical moments on an off the golf course. He joins Mark Immelman to discuss his new book, "Your Brain Swings Every Club - Chasing 10Hz," and illustrate how your brain works, and how you can "neurohack" your way to a calm, focussed mind for effortless performance under pressure. Among many topics, Izzy highlights the following: How golf technique gains from improvements in technology are being eroded by over-stimulated, distracted brains How your brain works What is 10Hz, why it is important for peak performance, and how your brain activity spikes and lowers The Human nature to chase after cheap Dopamine hits Izzy's Red, Yellow and Green Scale to measure brain spikes Neurohacks, what they are and how they work, and A "10/10" Neurohack to calm your brain and your mind for improved performance.

Lasting change begins with a shift in both mindset and behavior. Many people remain stuck in self-defeating patterns because of unconscious narratives, emotional triggers, and a disconnection from their body's inner wisdom. Change isn't just about willpower or information—it's about learning to rewire the brain through small, intentional actions that generate powerful emotional feedback loops. Identity transformation happens not through repetition, but through experiences that create a sense of success. In a world flooded with conflicting advice and manipulative marketing, reclaiming agency requires tuning into your own signals, building self-trust, and recognizing that behavior change is a design challenge—not a character flaw. Empowerment comes from realizing that the ability to change is built into who we are as humans. In this episode, I speak with Tom Bilyeu, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, and Dr. BJ Fogg about cracking the nut of behavior change. Tom Bilyeu is a filmmaker and serial entrepreneur best known as the co-founder of Quest Nutrition, a billion-dollar company built to combat metabolic disease through value-driven innovation. After nearly a decade of chasing financial success and feeling unfulfilled, he realized the importance of loving the struggle itself. This insight led him and his partners to shift focus from profit to purpose. Quest quickly became the second fastest-growing company in North America, according to Inc. Magazine. After achieving significant personal wealth, Tom turned to the other global crisis he saw—disempowering mindsets. To address this, he co-founded Impact Theory, a media studio with his wife, Lisa Bilyeu. Their mission is to scale mindset transformation by producing empowering content that shifts the cultural subconscious. Just as Disney built the most magical place on Earth, the Bilyeus aim to build the most empowering one. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential doctors in the UK. A practicing GP for the last two decades, Dr. Chatterjee wants to inspire people to transform their health by making small, sustainable changes to their lifestyles. Host of the #1 Apple podcast, Feel Better, Live More, and presenter of BBC 1's Doctor in the House, Dr. Chatterjee is the author of 5 Sunday Times bestselling books and his TED Talk, “How to Make Diseases Disappear,” has now been viewed over 4.8 million times. His newest book is Happy Mind, Happy Life: The New Science of Mental Well-Being. Dr. BJ Fogg is a behavior scientist, author, and founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University, where he has researched human behavior since 1998. He developed the groundbreaking “Behavior Design” system, which explains how behavior works and how to design it effectively. Over the past decade, his lab has focused on practical applications—from helping people navigate coronavirus-related challenges to training climate change professionals in behavior change strategies. BJ is also the creator of the “Tiny Habits” method, a simple, science-backed approach to habit formation that has helped over 40,000 people make lasting life changes. His work empowers individuals and organizations to design behavior that benefits both people and the planet. He shares his insights in the New York Times best-selling book, Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.
