Episode Synopsis

Three "in-the-moment" practices to reduce stress and support your well-being at work. Why is work/life well-being so challenging? In this episode, Cathy explores why so many of us struggle with work/life well-being. What makes this issue so complex? How does seeing it as a complex issue show us a way forward? How can we begin to take steps to create greater well-being in the workplace and beyond? Finally, she shares three in-the-moment practices to reduce your stress, open up new possibilities, and put you in a better position to affect meaningful change. If you'd like an adapted transcript for this episode, you can find it on Cathy's blog, Field Notes. In this episode, I reference the work of David Snowden and the Cynefin Framework.
