Real leadership is not about authority, it's about empowering others to rise alongside you.

[Paul McGregor @pmcgregorcom]

40 hours a week at work is 40 hours of life.  

Imagine if every hour at work contributed to an employee’s life rather than just took time away from them.

Imagine what could change if those 40 hours felt meaningful and fulfilling.

The past decade has been dedicated to raising awareness for mental health at work.

Now, it's time to address the demands of work that drive overwhelm, the pressures that lead to burnout & the disconnect that leaves employees feeling unsupported.

Now, it's time for action.

Most big problems were once small problems that someone didn't feel safe to talk about.

What they don't tell you, is that the more magnetic you become, the stronger your boundaries have to be. Not everything that calls for your attention is meant for you.

Public service announcement to every employer:

The budget you’re not putting in wellbeing is the money you’re losing in absences.

How people often measure success:

Job title
Salary

How success should be measured:

Purpose
Authenticity
Work/life balance
Happiness

[Paul McGregor @pmcgregorcom]

Taking a long holidays doesn't cure burnout. They usually only bring temporary relief.

Truth is, 2 long weekends in a month are more restorative than a 2-week trip.

Regular breaks are the key to wellbeing.

TOP 4 workplace factors that lead to employee stress

1️⃣ Drowning in tasks they don't have enough time to do
2️⃣ Not provided the right resources they need to do the job properly
3️⃣ Never feeling appreciated in any way
4️⃣ Having absolutely no freedom or autonomy

[Paul McGregor @pmcgregorcom]

Setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable when you've spent your life trying to people please. 

Instead of focusing on other people's needs, shift your focus to your own and what makes you happy. 

You'll find some comfort there.

[Paul McGregor @pmcgregorcom]

Leaders can be tough at times, we can and should be strong but at the end of the day, human beings respond best to care and appreciation. It’s important to remember that in business, everything we achieve is ultimately done with and through other people.

Now is new.

"Life is accessible only in the present moment" - Gautama Buddha

[Paul McGregor @pmcgregorcom]

The things that are easy to do are also easy not to do. 

Making that call. Sending that text. Choosing the healthier snack. A moment of gratitude. 60 seconds of deep breathing. Replying to that email. Saying "I love you." 

The solution is to keep trying.

Anything you lose when you stand up for what you believe in and protect your boundaries was not meant to stay.
