The Green Room podcast, episode #72: Can you be kind and high-performing?

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

It’s a famous saying. And it sounds simple enough. But is it? And is there room for it at work if we want to achieve our career goals?

Being kind to others may come easy, but what about being kind towards ourselves while chasing our dreams?

But this isn’t just a nice to have. In the UK alone, mental health problems cost employers £51 billion per year.

So how can we get better at looking after ourselves? And what roles do leaders play in cultivating healthy environments and where people can thrive and reach their potential?

And how can we prioritise our mental wellbeing at work and create an environment where we all bring our best – with brilliant results?

In this episode, we’re joined by David Beeney, Founder of Breaking the Silence and mental health consultant, and Elizabeth Hampson, a Life Sciences and Health partner at Deloitte and leader of Deloitte Health Equity Institute Europe as we ask: Can you be kind and high-performing?
