Laura Staples, Head of People & Performance at Laminex interviews Dr Adrian Medhurst, an award-winning performance psychologist. Laura talks to Adrian about the new Laminex Goal Mastery framework and the introduction of a wellbeing goal for all Laminex employees in FY22. Whilst a little different to the usual format (so that Ayse could take a few days annual leave to recharge) you’ll hear Adrian and Laura talk about the relationship between high performance and personal wellbeing and why it’s more important than ever to take time to recharge the battery so we can sustain our high performance and enjoy our lives.

The global pandemic has had a significant impact on the way we all work and live, and this impact has had a flow-on effect to our wellbeing; physically, mentally and emotionally. As you’ll hear in this conversation, it’s not only our work and life that we need to be considering it’s also our wellbeing and performance. Adrian explains the inherent link between our wellbeing and our performance and how this impacts our ability to perform at work.

The conversation around wellbeing in our workplaces is not a new conversation however what we have observed is that it is now a more prominent one. In today’s chat with Adrian we discuss; The impact that COVID has had on the wellbeing of our people. How organisations can begin to understand and address this impact with their people, and 5 questions to help you start the conversation. The reframing of resilience to resourcefulness. The concept of “experimentation” and the change of mindset that it brings. The tools that organisations can use to support the wellbeing of their people in the workplace. How Adrian, personally, took the adversity of COVID and turned it into an adventure.

 

Today we discuss leadership and well-being with our guest Dr Adrian Medhurst! What does the handling of the pandemic tell us about leadership? What can leaders do to promote a more resilient workforce? And does focussing on resiliency really address the true causes of impaired well-being?

 

Developing the mindset and tools to sustain our wellbeing and performance in an era of stress and busyness.
