The Change

The Change

The Change amplifies the voice of servant leaders working to normalize mental health conversations and increase empathy in the workplace. As a society, we've gone too long ignoring that our mental health is just as important as our physical health. The mental health conversation has been stigmatized to the extent that most of us hide our anxiety, our depression, our emotions. The pandemic was a catalyst that accelerated the open conversations around mental health. We all struggle with mental health issues in some way and thankfully the dialogue around the importance of our mental health needs is more prevalent in popular culture. We explore topics such as the importance of empathetic leadership in business, the nervous system, trauma, anxiety, work/life harmony, and more. Join us in our effort to de-stigmatize the mental health conversation and build a more empathetic world. The Change is produced and distributed by EIQ Media Group, LLC.

We all know and can relate to the five senses: smelling, touching, tasting, seeing, and hearing. But in the words of our guest today, “Empathy is like one of our senses. Intuitive and present, standing by whenever we want to tap into it.” In my own experience, I’ve found this to be very true. As an empath, I have a heightened ability to feel the emotions of others. And so, it is very much a core sensation in my body: and the more I...

I can tell you personally how difficult it can be to maintain a positive mindset.

We live in a time of busy-ness. Here in the U.S. many of us find pride in the symptoms of our over-working: anxiety, burnout, exhaustion. We take these as symbols of being productive, of doing something, building something, being a part of something. In the words of our guest here today, Òwe see busy-ness as a sign of success and hard work, and É we remain busy to hide from the fear of failureÓ ÒLike it or not, we have become addic...

We all have differing belief systems. Some belief systems develop over time, other belief systems derive from our environment, our interests, our upbringing, or we inherit them from family and never question those beliefs. Questioning a belief system implies a strong sense of self-awareness. We have belief systems in our personal lives, and we also build belief systems in our professional lives. Often these different belief systems...

The concept of leadership has taken on a different meaning over the past couple of years as businesses have had to navigate some very challenging issues. With a vast majority of workers going remote at the start of the pandemic, and as many working parents also became the primary in-person educators for their children, great leadership has taken on a more critical role. Perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of the pandemic ha...

In business, we often have felt that there is a clear divide between who we show we are in a professional setting and who we are personally. People have felt that when they are at work, they should put out one persona, but at home they can be their true self. The reason for this has been obvious: in order to advance in business and be promoted, weÕve felt that in the workplace it should be all about the work. Yet here we are, in 20...
