75% of employees report dealing with a mental health issue, yet 8 out of 10 of those employees don’t seek help due to shame and stigma. 

Mental health costs employers $225 billion per year in lost productivity. This is beyond a smart investment, rather, a necessary one for the future of work.



We observe normalizing therapy for modern professionals & entrepreneurs from the lens of Charlie Brown, a popular (fictional) cartoon character from Peanuts (Charles Shulz).

Original Music- Shane Ivers

Normalizing Therapy & Professional Counselling at Work Ft Charlie Brown

Leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs may sometimes be bearers of bad news, or may have to make difficult decisions.

More often than not, when communicated, difficult decisions like layoffs, paycuts, or even pausing a project with a client may evoke instant emotional reactions.

Or worse, leave lasting scars, or affect relationships.

In this short episode, we talk about communicating difficult decisions clearly, effectively yet, gracefully!
