Lucinda is joined by Dr Anna Eliatamby, a clinical psychologist and executive coach with extensive experience in leadership and organisational development. Anna shares her unique journey, which includes working with the UN and developing mental health strategies across 47 countries.

Anna and Lucinda talk about the importance of self-care for leaders, recognising and addressing workplace toxicity, and the need for collective accountability in fostering a healthy organisational culture

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Leaders must recognise their own stress signals and negative habits to effectively manage their well-being and support their teams. This includes taking time for self-reflection and understanding personal stress triggers.


Addressing toxicity in the workplace requires leaders to openly acknowledge issues and involve the entire organisation in finding solutions. This includes praising positive behaviours and being transparent about the need for change.


Organisations should actively seek input from employees regarding their well-being needs rather than imposing interventions. Tailoring programs to what staff actually want can lead to higher engagement and effectiveness.


Toxic behaviours often stem from learned coping mechanisms rather than intentional malice. Leaders should focus on helping individuals understand and change their behaviurs through constructive feedback and support.

BEST MOMENTS

"A lot of my life has happened by chance rather than by design. I was very clear in my teenage years I wanted to study psychology."

"If you don't factor in the politics and the negativity alongside the positivity, you're never going to get your work done properly."

"HR are very caring of other people, but put themselves last in their own well-being quite often."

"People will bring in well-being interventions without actually asking staff whether this is what they want and need."
