Supporting Mental Health in the Workplace: For happier and more productive teams
If you have a mental health issue should you let your boss know? What about your team mates?
Millions of people struggle with mental health and yet most are reluctant to let anyone know about it.
From being considered taboo to fearing of being labeled as unstable or being seen as a complainer, many people just try to power through.
But what if it was OK be upfront about your struggles? And what if by doing so you could find ways to work with them - and thus not let them get in the way of your performance?
I’m Jane Singer and welcome to Launch to Legendary, where we get to hear from people who taken the ordinary and turned it into the extraordinary.
Who’ve found opportunities where most people would only see obstacles. And who’ve defined success in their own terms.
Meet Bryce Seto, a successful SVP at an insights consultancy, who’s scaled startups from $0 to $10M - and who also happens to be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
He’s on a mission to help others overcome the stigma of mental health issues - while inspiring leaders to support openness and vulnerability in the workplace.
You'll Learn:
1. The importance of addressing your own mental health as a leader, in an open, honest, and authentic way
2. Why disorders are not the barriers we think they are and how we can accept and overcome them, even use them as strengths in our work
3. Why vulnerability is a key to success as a leader, and we need to not be afraid of it.
