Thank you for watching / listening, rating, reviewing, sharing & subscribing.

Corporate client who does a lot of work in healthcare—lots of hospitals & clinics around the country.

Visited one of largest in the state he was working in & it is at 60% staffed. And the staff who are there…are overworked, overwhelmed & completely exhausted—mentally, physically, & emotionally.

Going to possibly be doing a brief workshop on emotional health & EQ for a SWAT team. The number of LEOs is down dramatically in his state. There's no emotional training.

A number of my BJJ teammates are LEOs…overworked, exhausted mentally, emotionally & physically.

YOUR company…what's the emotional health state of your company?

YOUR family…what's the emotional health state of your family?

YOU…what's the emotional health state of you?

As a leader, how do you handle the emotions of your team?

Check in w/them every morning:

How are you feeling?

How are you doing?

Give them permission / freedom to express themselves honestly.

How does it help them, you or your team if you ask them how they're doing & you only want to hear "outstanding"?

Is it truly safe to be vulnerable in your culture/organization?

If not, how can you start changing that?

By you being honest & transparent w/your own emotions.

Just b/c you're struggling, doesn't take you a weak leader or incompetent or incapable. It makes you a human.
