Introduction
In this episode, we are talking with Anna Eliatamby, a clinical psychologist and workplace well-being expert who has helped the UN and global organisations develop mental health and well-being strategies and tackle toxic behaviours in the workplace.
In this episode we are discussing the practical tools and strategies she lays out in her new book, Healing-Self Care for Leaders and their Teams.
One thing to say straight away that I’m sure will pique your interest is that very early on in that book, she says that we – leaders – should be selfish.
Listen on...to lead on.
