Future Work/Life is my newsletter in which I explore the changing relationship between work and our personal lives. Every Sunday, I share something I’ve written, a few things I’ve enjoyed reading, and something great to listen to. Today, I share the most recent episode of the Future Work/Life podcast - my Top 10 Careers show. If you find it interesting, please share it!
Today’s guest is George Bettany, co-founder of Sanctus, a mental health gym that supports thousands of people at businesses across the UK with coaching that blends personal and professional development with proactive mental wellbeing support.
We had a fantastic conversation covering a range of topics, not least why, despite the challenges presented by Covid and multiple lockdowns, one lasting positive has been more openness to discussing mental health in the workplace.
We also talked about:
- How leaders should approach discussing mental wellbeing
- The pros and cons of leading a mission-led business
- Thinking about work like a high-performance athlete
- Why entrepreneurship is a creative endeavour
- The link between physical and mental health
- The importance of community
