#041 – Neurodiversity in learning, leadership, and business (with Dr. Jason Rogers)

It’s no secret that we’re all unique. With over 85 Billion Neurons and over 600 trillion synaptic connections that are constantly adapting to our internal and external environments, neurodiversity and uniqueness are baked into our brains and evolution.

Why Your Company Needs a Chief Wellbeing Officer

Hiring a Chief Wellbeing Officer is the first step towards fixing the corporate wellness disaster that companies are currently facing. With the steadily increasing levels of stress, burnout, turnover, and disengagement, executive teams are increasingly focussed on providing wellness amenities to employees. Unfortunately, traditional wellness strategies have not improved working conditions, stress levels, and the wellbeing of employees.

This is why the new executive level role of Chief Wellbeing Officer (CWO) is gaining popularity.

As for resolutions. Some people set them every year, others don’t. I’m not a big fan. I believe it’s time to move past them. To do something different…and better.

At the base level, there’s no right or wrong way to transition from one year to the next. It’s more about what’s working for you, and what’s not.
