152. Dr. Richard Safeer: Keys to Fostering Collective Well-Being in the Workplace

So far this year, my guests and I have been discussing how we can do things differently through experimentation, creativity, and innovation to optimize our life and work for personal success, satisfaction, and sustainability.

I’ve often focused on what we can do individually to ensure sustainability in our life and work, because we can’t rely solely on outside forces to do so. But as Dr. Richard Safeer points out, we have to both take personal responsibility and we need support from those around us, including our organizations, to truly shape a happier, healthier, and more resilient workforce.

Today, Dr. Safeer explains why external support is critical for wellbeing and shares smart, simple tips to move forward as organizations and team leaders supporting a wellbeing culture.

What is Sustainable Ambition?

How do you navigate the inevitable conflicts between work and life? Not just the daily schedules or mounting responsibilities, but the tensions between your ambition for your career and your ambition for life?

How do you decide what to prioritize and what to let go of? How do you decide when to speed ahead and when to ease up?

These aren’t questions of work-life balance or self-care. They’re questions we can answer when we get serious about intentionally designing a life with work that works for you.

Join Kathy Oneto, executive and life-work coach and founder of Sustainable Ambition, for conversations with experts, authors, and friends to explore sticky questions around navigating ambitious careers while integrating life with work, practicing sustainable work practices, and building resilience.

Most people assume that ambition and sustainability are mutually exclusive. Not so! Keep listening, and Kathy will make you a believer in Sustainable Ambition, too.
