Are you a stressed director or c-suite executive?
I know you put on a brave face when things are rough.
It is almost expected that directors in the corporate world are stone faced robots who just talk numbers & strategy.
HOWEVER
The truth is far from that perception!
🔶️ We know the heartache that goes into reducing staff numbers.
🔶️The stress inducing actual versus budget you need to stay on top of.
🔶️The pressure cooker board meetings.
🔶️ Providing leadership to 100's & 1000's of team members
🔶️ Being accountable for all the really serious stuff
🔶️Getting buy-in for new strategy & then actually implementing the change
🔶️ Being a mum or dad whilst juggling your professional responsibilities
How do you navigate all of this whilst keeping your mental health in tact?
Here's 5 really simple tips to be the best & healthiest version of yourself in the #workplace!
1. Do not be afraid to ask for help. See it as a strength. You will see that the people around you are more than willing to provide their insight & support.
2. Do not take things personally. It is really difficult to feel responsible or even guilty for things that go wrong in your teams. But see it as a learning opportunity for growth & innovation.
3. Okay, so this ones a little direct, but put your ego to one side & think of the greater good. A lot of stress inducing situations at work are as a result of ego's clashing. Be the bigger person.
4. Invest in your personal wellbeing. This means time, money, people & processes. If you really want to feel better at work, you need to create an environment that is conducive to that.
5. Create a community of support around yourself. This is reciprocal. Create forums, company support groups & employee engagement activities where leadership & teams invest time in each other. This will only lead to healthier relationships with each other & yourself.
