Doing More With Stress

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Doing more with less is actually Doing More With Stress. COVID forced us to make what we thought would be temporary changes, and our teams stretched to adapt - they did a great job! But what we thought was temporary now seems permanent and it’s taking a toll on mental health and promoting the Great Resignation. It’s now Doing More With Stress and we need to fix it.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* The difference between doing more with less and doing more with stress.

* How COVID pushed our workforce to the breaking limit

* It’s over - most people are done going the extra mile for no reward

* A story or two on how we have adapted and why it’s not working any longer

* A layman’s medical view of Stress and how it affects the human body

* The effects of Doing More With Stress on the Great Resignation.

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY?

When COVID first changed everything in business, our teams adapted to the situation by expanding their roles, doing more with less, and keeping our businesses running. But most people believe business needs to return to normal now, and doing more with less has morphed into a mental health issue we’re calling "Doing More With Stress" and it’s killing our workforce.

WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?

An entrepreneur and intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial’ chops, and a penchant for storytelling.

Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own. They took separate and contrasting career paths, both struggling with challenges and celebrating their career successes differently. 

Over the years, they noticed similarities in their stories about their work, the people they interacted with, and how business was conducted. Kelli, who “worked for the man like a dog for decades,” and Dave, who “started or ran businesses all of his life,” quickly realized there is substantial value for others in those combined experiences. The “My Job Here Is Done” Podcast is the result.
