I had a conversation with a colleague the other day... His question was, "Have we gotten to a space where BS is rewarded, and education and understanding are no longer relevant or sought after?" This made me ponder. Do we have so much access to information now that people think they know and understand something if it's saved somewhere on a drive, downloaded to a library, or read a three-minute blog about it? Could bad leaders believe they are good leaders because they can access good leadership information? Regrettably, aspirational goodness does not deter negative impacts on talent. Effective leadership doesn't come by osmosis! It comes from training and practicing good habits, from prioritizing growth and continued learning of leaders, and from genuinely valuing talent. #effectiveleadership #emotionalintelligence #priorities

I hear so often that leadership development or organizational development support is a nice to have. I hear that "soft skills" like communication, trust, psychological safety are a distraction. I am here to tell you (as is the research) that these things build productivity, tangible success, innovation and organizational growth. Do a temperature check in your org and with your leadership team or board. Your people are your greatest resource and your path to success!

. Farah Harris, MA, LCPC, you're doing valuable work in this area and are 100% correct! It can also erode trust and confidence, creating ripple effects that undermine productivity and hinder growth, making every aspect of work life more challenging and less fulfilling. To help stop the cycle, it is essential to: 1. Invest in leadership development at all levels of an organization 2. Create a culture of accountability 3. Prioritize communication and transparency #leadershipdevelopment

Leaders, organizational culture is shifting more rapidly in recent years due to the changes in society's attention on mental health and wellness and the demands that came after COVID. Nothing is the same. We can help these changes with a decrease in stress, increase in wellness, and connection in the environment. Implement these and your whole organization will thank you for it. These are not positions and classes, they are a testament to priorities. #ConsciousLeadership #ServantLeaders #WorkplaceWellness

🌱 Last Saturday, I attended a Mental Health Awareness event, and it reinforced our purpose: "Empowering innovation and joy toward organizational efficacy." Achieving real success isn’t only about productivity—it’s about ensuring our teams are well-supported and valued. 🧠💙 For us as leaders, it starts with this question: How do we bring joy and care to our teams? Recently, I’ve been taking small but intentional actions to check in with each team member, ensuring they feel heard and appreciated. 💬 Even a brief conversation or a small gesture can make a big difference.

I often share my story to remind leaders and organizations: If I could create psychological safety and foster a sustainable culture as a mid-level senior leader, then executive leaders, with even greater power and influence, have an incredible opportunity to drive meaningful change. Achieving this takes true business integration, unwavering consistency, and agility to create a lasting shift in workplace behaviors. Leaders have the power—and responsibility—to develop impactful, holistic mental health strategies that benefit everyone.
