How can you tell if you're a bad boss?Healthy workplace cultures start from the top. Effective leaders are self-aware, and understand the power dynamics in their organizations. They constantly build trust through admitting mistakes, recognizing their own blind spots, inviting and acting on feedback, and fostering constructive dissent to create an inclusive environment where people genuinely want to contribute.On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Jamie Woolf and Dr. Christopher Bell, leaders at Creativity Partners, a consultancy with a focus on unleashing, trust and innovation through constructive disruption. They discuss how to identify and avoid being a "bad boss" and explore the importance of self-awareness, fostering trust, playfulness, open communication, and creating spaces for feedback and dissent.Keep Up with Jamie & Christopher:https://www.creativity-partners.com/Try Learning Snippets:https://dialectic.solutions/signupContact Us to Be a Guest on Just One Q:https://dialectic.solutions/podcast-guest

Dr. Chad highlights the shortcomings of these programs, which often act as empty gestures rather than meaningful solutions.

Every sip counts!Feeling drained after work? Struggling to keep your energy up while juggling long hours, commutes, or remote work? In this Friday Coffee Chat, we sit down with Dr. Oliver Weigelt, a psychology researcher and expert in work recovery and health-promoting interventions. From understanding what energy really is to finding small but powerful ways to recharge, we cover practical strategies for protecting your energy, recovering after demanding days, and creating sustainable well-being in modern work life.Main takeaways:Energy management goes beyond physical fatigue. When it comes to how to recharge after work, it's essential to understand that energy includes mental, emotional, and social dimensions. According to psychology research, managing energy effectively means tuning into all these areas—not just getting enough sleep or taking a break.Work burnout prevention starts with intentional recovery. To avoid workplace burnout and build sustainable productivity, small daily recovery habits matter more than occasional big breaks. Practices like psychological detachment, creating boundaries, and finding autonomy at work are key components of long-term well-being.Toxic work environments and draining coworkers are major energy drains. Protecting your mental health at work requires setting clear boundaries around toxic interactions. When you're constantly feeling drained, especially in remote work or hybrid work settings, learning how to manage these dynamics becomes crucial for maintaining energy levels.Small shifts in your routine can help you bounce back. If you're wondering how to stop feeling drained after work, start with small but impactful changes—like a short walk, a screen break, or a mindfulness moment. These energy recovery tips may seem minor, but they make a big difference in how you show up at work and at home.If your work is taking over your life and you struggle to unplug in the evening or even the weekend, we'd love to help you create a work-life balance that works for you!Support the showLove,Tina & Eleni Youtube | Instagram: @thehappy9to5 | TikTok: @thehappy9to5

This week, Justin chats with special guest Ryan Picarella, Executive Director of the Wellness Alliance, about wellness in the workplace.

Vivian Acquah, a Certified Diversity Executive and Inclusive Workplace Wellness Advocate, has worked with global brands like Heineken, LinkedIn, Google, and Deloitte to implement practical, actionable DEI strategies. With her unique DEI carrot cake metaphor and the Amplify DEI Cards initiative, she helps leaders and teams turn DEI efforts into real, lasting change.In this episode, Vivian shares her journey into DEI and the challenges that shaped her mission. She discusses how organizations can move from talking about DEI to putting strategies into meaningful action, the most overlooked aspects of workplace empathy, and how AI and technology will shape workplace culture in the next decade. She also explores the powerful lessons she has learned from working with leaders and teams and the one message about unlocking empathy in leadership that she wants every listener to take away.For those looking to integrate DEI and workplace wellness into their leadership approach, this conversation provides a practical and thought-provoking roadmap.

Caregiving in the workplace is a conversation too few leaders are having—and it's costing businesses more than they realize. Hidden behind turnover rates, disengaged employees, rising healthcare costs, and inconsistent performance is a workforce silently struggling to manage dual roles. Employees at every level, from entry-level staff to the C-suite, are balancing the demands of their careers while caring for aging parents, children with special needs, or loved ones facing health challenges. Yet most organizations aren't equipped to support them, and many employees never speak up. Sue Ryan, Chief Inspirationalist and a strategist for workplace caregiving solutions, brings this challenge into sharp focus. Drawing from over 30 years of personal caregiving experience and professional leadership, Sue shines a light on what she calls the workforce blind spot—an exponentially growing crisis that's costing U.S. businesses an estimated $33 billion annually in lost productivity and turnover. The issue isn't just personal—it's systemic. And it's avoidable. As the U.S. population ages rapidly, with those over 65 set to outnumber those under 18 by 2030, the pressure on working caregivers is increasing fast. The fastest-growing demographic in the country is now adults over 85. This demographic shift is creating ripple effects in every industry, affecting employee well-being, engagement, and long-term retention. Leaders who ignore this trend risk falling behind—not just in compassion, but in performance. Supporting caregiving in the workplace doesn't mean overhauling business models or adding burdensome policies. In fact, many solutions already exist within organizations; they just haven't been adapted to meet this need. Sue breaks down how simple shifts in culture—starting with top-level leadership—can make a meaningful difference. It begins with normalizing the conversation. When employees feel safe acknowledging their caregiving responsibilities, it opens the door to flexibility, planning, and improved collaboration. Business leaders often assume caregiving is an HR issue. That's a costly mistake. When the executive team leads with clarity and openness, human resources can activate systems, provide training for managers, and integrate caregiving into team planning and scheduling. But without visible, top-down acknowledgment, the conversation stalls before it ever starts. Employees who can't speak up often leave, taking their skills and institutional knowledge with them. Sue also draws attention to what she calls the “sandwich generation”—employees, often in their 40s or 50s, who are supporting both aging parents and dependent children while maintaining full-time roles. These team members bring valuable experience and insight to their companies, but their capacity is being stretched thin. Ignoring their reality leads to burnout, disengagement, and missed opportunity. Normalizing caregiving in the workplace can be as straightforward as updating onboarding conversations, creating safe spaces for disclosure, and encouraging leadership to model openness. Organizations like Deloitte, Starbucks, and Amazon are already seeing measurable results from acknowledging and addressing this reality—improvements in productivity, employee satisfaction, and retention. The shift doesn't require large financial investments—it requires intention. Companies already have many of the operational, legal, and financial structures in place to support this evolution. The missing piece is leadership. When executives set the tone, the culture follows. It becomes easier for teams to adapt, cross-train, and collaborate in ways that support both business goals and employee well-being. This is more than a human resources initiative—it's a business growth strategy. Addressing caregiving in the workplace is about keeping your best people, increasing engagement, and reducing the hidden costs of turnover. With the right awareness and tools, organizations can create environments where employees bring their full selves to work—without hiding a critical part of their lives.

Marketing is just one of a market manager's or vendor's full time jobs. So a cooperative effort that benefits multiple markets is invaluable. Add in centralized sales of gift certificates redeemable region-wide and everyone will be harvesting a bumper crop of additional income. Maine Federation of Farmers Markets director Jimmy DeBiasi joined us last year to explain selling employers on using market dollars as part of their workplace wellness programs. He dug even deeper into the how-to at last month's InTents Farmers Market Conference. This week in our Marketing Methods series listen as we chat with Jimmy about: The power of cooperative marketing The impressive total of sales generated How tough is tracking and billing?

Workplace wellness is broken. Free snacks, ping-pong tables, yoga-at-lunch—none of it actually works if your workplace culture is toxic or disconnected. So what does create a thriving, healthy work environment? According to today's guests, it starts with leadership—and it's a lot less about perks and a lot more about people. We're diving deep into the real future of workplace wellness with Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer, co-founders of Workr Beeing and co-authors of the book Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives. These two powerhouse I/O psychologists have spent their careers studying what actually works when it comes to employee well-being, team dynamics, and leadership. Spoiler alert: most wellness programs are missing the mark completely. Workplace wellness doesn't start with nap pods or smoothie bars—it starts with people feeling seen, heard, and valued. If you're a leader, this episode is your wake-up call. If you're not a leader, it's your permission to want more than burnout and survival.

It's a state, which means it will fluctuate over time, which also means we can influence it." "Resilience is our ability to go through adversity and come out even stronger." "People will tend to minimize the demands they have, and then on the supply side, people will tend to overestimate the sources of energy they have." "I think we too easily sacrifice our self-care. We wait for things to fall apart and then we're like, ‘Oh, I hit burnout.'

What's the role of spirit in a world driven by bottom lines and business metrics? Today, Peter Winick sits down with Rusty Rueff, an accomplished investor, startup advisor, Co-Founder and Director at Alioth Talent and previously served under President Obama on his advisory committee for the Arts at the Kennedy Center, to discuss the crucial intersection of purpose and the workplace. Rueff, who has dedicated his career to empowering organizations and people, shares his belief that modern workplaces must recognize the holistic needs of their people—including the often-overlooked need for spiritual fulfillment. Historically, work and personal lives were siloed. But today, companies are embracing the importance of physical and mental well-being, with gyms, wellness programs, and mental health support. Rueff believes the next frontier is integrating “spirit” into the workplace—not in a religious sense, but as a core part of personal meaning and motivation. Companies should aim to foster environments where employees feel committed, not just compliant. But how can companies approach this without stepping into sensitive territory? Rueff advocates for open forums and inclusive resource groups that give employees a safe space to bring their full selves to work. By creating these avenues, organizations enable connection and belonging, helping employees build resilience, passion, and purpose. Rueff's latest book, The Faith Code: A Future-Proof Framework for a Life of Meaning and Impact, asks readers to explore their foundational beliefs. He challenges listeners to reflect on the “platform of their lives” and what they cherish most deeply. As he explains, while our bodies and minds may wane over time, our spirits have the power to grow stronger—right until the end. Three Key Takeaways: • The Spirit in the Workplace: Beyond physical and mental health, organizations should support employees' spiritual well-being, fostering commitment and purpose rather than mere compliance. • Inclusive Spaces for Authenticity: To empower employees to bring their whole selves to work, companies should create open forums and resource groups that celebrate diverse backgrounds and interests, cultivating belonging and connection. • Reflecting on Life's Platform: Rueff's concept of the “platform of life” challenges individuals to identify what truly matters and holds lasting value. While physical and mental capacities may fade, nurturing the spirit can build resilience and strength that endures. Rusty is changing lives by getting people to ask the right questions about their life.  When it comes to Thought Leadership are you asking the right questions?  Take a moment to check out this article by Peter Winick on Starting with the Problem, Not the Solution.  It can make a huge difference in your work!

In Episode 8 of Building Better Developers Season 23, hosts Rob and Michael explore the importance of taking breaks for health. This episode, part of the “Building Better Habits” season, offers strategies for integrating breaks throughout the workday. From using the Pomodoro Technique to taking short, mindful walks, Rob and Michael show how stepping away can prevent burnout and improve focus. Using the Pomodoro Technique for Structured Breaks Rob begins by sharing his success with the Pomodoro Technique—a method of focused work intervals with short breaks. This approach helps him boost productivity and mental clarity during the day. Pomodoro's structured work blocks break tasks into manageable chunks, creating a rhythm for distracted developers. Rob explains how each break keeps him sharp and ready for complex tasks. Moving During Breaks: Small Actions, Big Benefits Michael highlights the benefits of moving during breaks, especially in colder months. He uses his Pomodoro breaks to stretch and take short walks. These brief pauses help his physical health and refresh his mind. Michael finds that even a few moments away from the screen brings renewed energy and focus. Scheduling Breaks Between Meetings Rob and Michael suggest using meeting times to schedule breaks. They recommend ending meetings five minutes early or starting them five minutes late. This buffer helps developers stretch, step away, and avoid back-to-back meetings. Pausing briefly between sessions can prevent meeting fatigue. The Benefits of a Simple Walk Rob suggests a simple but powerful break idea: taking short walks. Even five minutes of movement can improve well-being. A quick lap around the office or home relieves stiffness and improves circulation. Rob also notes these breaks provide a mental refresh and help reduce eye strain. Going Device-Free for a Mental Reset Michael advises leaving phones and devices behind during breaks for a true mental reset. Freeing yourself from digital distractions helps clear the mind. Both hosts agree this device-free time allows for a more effective recharge. They return to tasks with better focus and clarity. Buddy System: Building a Culture of Health Rob and Michael suggest teaming up with coworkers for short walks or breaks in office settings. A buddy system can make these breaks more enjoyable and encourage workplace health. Casual chats during these walks support mental well-being and can strengthen team bonds. The Episode Challenge: Three 5-Minute Walks Rob challenges listeners in this episode to take three 5-minute walks during the workday. These breaks aren't for casual tasks but for deliberate, intentional walks. Rob emphasizes the importance of a conscious break to reset and recharge. Whether it's a quick lap outside or around the office, these three walks boost physical health and mental clarity. The Dangers of a Sedentary Lifestyle Both hosts warn of the risks of prolonged sitting, including poor posture, weight gain, and health issues. Integrating intentional breaks, such as standing desks and regular walks, can help counter these effects. Developers can improve overall health and boost productivity with small, healthy habits. Final Thoughts: Making Breaks a Habit for Long-Term Success Rob reminds listeners of the long-term career benefits of regular breaks. These small actions require no drastic changes, and they make a big difference. Healthier developers are happier, more productive, and better at their work. Rob and Michael encourage listeners to try these strategies, building a sustainable career and a balanced life.

Belonging plays such a key role in attracting and retaining talent. Creating environments where people are free to bring their entire self to work and feel welcome is a crucial leadership attribute.
