17509 - Better mental health = better performance

Days Left On Earth: 17509

Business has fallen into the same trap as psychology.

For years psychology was so focused on healing the sick that it forget its origins, to help those in need AND nurture talent and boost well-being.

Healing the sick is wonderful and vital.

But so is creating thriving individuals.

Fortunately, 20 years ago, the head of the American Psychology Association and the biggest role in psychology Martin Seligman, escaped the trap and enhanced traditional psychology by creating Positive Psychology, which is designed to use science as a way to develop well-being and performance.

Currently business is doing much better at catering for those who are suffering. Mental health first aiders, better policies.

But like psychology of 20 years ago, business is also missing a major point.

Mental health is not just about healing those who need help.

It is also about creating resilience and nurturing talent.

Better mental health leads to better performance in business and life.

Think about this.

The science of positive psychology, Seligman pioneered has clearly demonstrated that those with higher well-being perform better and therefore improve business and generate more revenue.

And they are happier whilst they do it!

If life well-being were on a spectrum from -10 to +10.

Business is starting to do good work helping those in minus numbers get back to zero.

But what about helping a +5 become a +7?

And how about providing the skills for a 7 to get to 9?

Just imagine the difference this would make to the well-being of your staff and the performance of the business.

If you want to know more drop me a direct message.
