Ever felt that knot of anxiety when receiving feedback from your manager? Or maybe you've hesitated to give someone feedback, unsure how it will land? You're not alone. Effective communication at work is key, and that includes giving feedback in a way that builds people up, not breaks them down.

Ever feel like you’re just “faking it” at work? Like any moment, someone might realise you’re not as capable as they think? That’s imposter syndrome — a common experience of self-doubt and feeling like a fraud, despite evidence of your skills and accomplishments.

We often get so engrossed in our work that we neglect to appreciate the good things in our lives. However, cultivating gratitude can significantly improve our well-being. By integrating some simple practices into our daily routines, we can shift our focus and find happiness in even the smallest of things.

The modern workplace is facing a silent crisis: a mental health pandemic. People are struggling with exhaustion and disengagement, significantly impacting business productivity, absenteeism, retention, and overall performance. But there's hope. An Oxford University study shows a strong correlation between prioritising employee well-being and improved business performance.

The start of a new year often brings talk of goals and fresh energy. But not everyone feels recharged or ready to take on big plans, and that’s okay! Trying to push yourself too hard or take on too much can quickly lead to burnout. It’s important to move at a pace that works for you.

Many of us hesitate to reach out for help at work because we fear judgment, appearing incompetent, or risking job security. In workplaces where psychological safety is lacking, it’s even harder. But asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We all need support sometimes, and it's crucial to prioritise our mental health and well-being.
