This Episode

In this special crossover episode, the ACHIEVE team is joined by Vicki Enns, host of Counselling Insights from CTRI, to explore what leaders can learn from the world of mental health and counselling. Together with co-hosts Eric Stutzman and Wendy Loewen, the conversation covers how therapeutic principles, like empathy, boundaries, and curiosity, can transform leadership and workplace culture.

Key takeaways include:
– Why leaders don’t need to be therapists, but should care about mental health
– How human connection and psychological safety fuel performance
– The difference between over-functioning and helpful support
– A three-step guide for what to do when someone shares something personal at work
– Why understanding relationship patterns is critical for team dynamics

Plus, a thoughtful discussion on whether your workplace should feel like a family, and a powerful rave about CEOs doing emotional work to become better leaders.
