1 hour 2 mins
Shannon Gander is nationally recognized as a leading expert in mental health and resiliency. The founder of Life Work Wellness, she is a Mental Health and Resiliency Strategist who combines her counseling background with her expertise in mental health, conflict resolution, mediation, and corporate wellness to guide organizations in the creation of cultures where everyone can thrive. In her work with hundreds of companies, Shannon has advised organizations on investing in and implementing mental health practices that benefit employees and leaders in and out of the workplace.
A dynamic and engaging presenter and facilitator, Shannon provides information in a way that empowers those receiving it to take actions that support resiliency, holistic well-being, and effective work-life boundaries. This podcast is no exception; you may want a note-taking device or writing utensil handy as the takeaways are plentiful and actionable.
We dig into Shannon’s diverse expertise, discussing topics ranging from managing the anxiety associated with returning to the office, psychological safety, office culture, and the importance of “good morning.” We also discuss resilience (spoiler alert, we are all resilient– a lack of resilience is not our problem), how to say no, and receive a powerful demonstration of how to think about our energy and resource allocation.
Shannon is highly engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and always caring. We hope you enjoy this discussion as much as we did!
