Mental Health at Work That Actually Works: Culture, Leadership, and Real Fixes with Ryan W. McClellan

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana and guest Ryan W. McClellan (life coach, entrepreneur, and author) cut through buzzwords to show how leaders and teams can make mental health real at work. We unpack job insecurity, why people fear speaking up, and how simple, human actions—walk-the-floor check-ins, micro-breaks, and open ideation rooms—lift both morale and performance. We also cover Gen Z’s influence on boundaries, the 52–17 focus rhythm, and practical privacy-first options when someone needs help but doesn’t want to involve HR. Direct, evidence-minded, and immediately usable for CEOs, managers, and teams across industries.

About the Guest :

Ryan W. McClellan is a certified life coach specializing in mindset, self-esteem, and leadership. He has launched nine businesses, holds a Master’s in Marketing and a BA in Organizational Psychology, and is the author of six books. He mentors university students and consults on people-first performance.

Key Takeaways:

• Fix job insecurity first. Replace “report-only leadership” with weekly floor time: ask, “How’s your day—what’s getting in the way?”

• From policy to practice. Pilot one change for two weeks (meeting-free focus block, flexible start window, or micro-breaks) and measure impact.

• Medium leash management. Autonomy with accountability beats command-and-control. Coach privately; praise publicly.

• Use the 52–17 rhythm. 52 minutes of deep work + 17 minutes of rest sustains cognition and quality.

• Culture is felt, not framed. Employees value a workplace where they can be themselves—and will trade higher pay for a healthier environment.

• Gen Z is a feature, not a bug. Clear boundaries and candid feedback raise the bar for everyone.

• Confidential help options. If HR involvement feels unsafe, suggest off-hour or lunch-break access to licensed support or coaching; protect privacy while encouraging professional care.

• Leaders model the standard. Your calm, your boundaries, and your deep-work block license your team to do the same.

• Before discipline, ask why. Performance dips often have explainable causes (e.g., caregiving); solutions may be simple.

• Crisis note. If anyone is at risk of self-harm, seek immediate help from local emergency services or your national crisis hotline.
