The Christina Crowe Podcast: Making the invisible VISIBLE

Today, we are making invisible things visible for people searching for the courage to both be vulnerable at work, and to influence their work culture toward something that feels more psychologically safe. In today’s episode, I am talking to Michael DeVenney, a trailblazing Canadian leader, who talks about the intersections of his own mental health journey and his experiences as an entrepreneur. We cover: What are the 2 things employees want from their leaders? Why are entrepreneurs at higher risk for mental health problems? How can you have both a high performing team and a supportive mental health culture? Resources mentioned in the show: From WorkInsights: A Letter to Leaders, by Michael DeVenney Scars, by Michael DeVenney Michael DeVenney created, implemented, and completed the largest survey in the world focused on the intersection of entrepreneurs and mental health with focus on decision making and wellbeing with eight published reports on the findings, The Mindset Project.
