PS: It's back! Perfectionism Detox is a live, online, cohort-based Master Class designed to help participants manage and ultimately overcome perfectionism. 

The next cohort is starting in January 2023, and participants get 50% off if you sign up before December 15.

Join us in one of the next cohorts if you’re struggling with perfectionist tendencies like:

• Setting unrealistic expectations for and being overly critical of yourself and others
• Reacting defensively to criticism
• Spending too much time on trivial tasks and not enough time on important, higher ROI activities
• Procrastinating to avoid failure in case you can't get it perfect
• Forgetting to celebrate your accomplishments and live your life to the fullest

According to U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, the most important asset in any organization is the people. This is something I wholeheartedly agree with. 

He encourages everyone to invest in mental health and well-being, especially in the workplace.

Every leader should follow his framework. As Surgeon General, he is aware that our work has both positive and negative effects on our health. According to recent surveys, 84% of respondents said their work environment contributed to their mental health issues. 

In addition to contributing to those issues, the pandemic brought them into sharper focus. Today, Dr. Murthy is insisting leaders promote well-being in the workplace, show workers that they matter, that their work matters, and give them the resources and support they need.

His framework for optimal workplace mental health is separated into five essential components:

1. Protection from Harm
2. Connection & Community
3. Work-Life Harmony
4. Mattering at Work
5. Opportunity for Growth

When people's voices are heard, workplaces become engines of well-being (and healthier performance!) – for leaders and employees alike. 

Watch this video or visit the website for an in-depth look on the essentials of workplace well-being.

Emotional well-being is more than the absence of a mental illness. It's that resource within each of us which allows us to reach ever closer to our full potential, and which also enables us to be resilient in the face of adversity. - Dr. Vivek Murthy
