Safe Spaces at Work: How to Prevent Burnout & Build a Healthier Workplace with Wilson Obeneme Ep. 40
How can we create safe spaces at work that foster innovation, mental well-being, and personal growth? What role do mindset, core values, and workplace culture play in preventing burnout and improving work-life balance?
In this episode of Encountering, I sit down with Wilson Obaneme to explore the power of citizen development—giving non-IT professionals the tools to innovate and make a real impact. Through his work with The Growth Plug, Wilson shares how coaching, leadership, and clarity can help people find fulfillment, purpose, and balance in their careers.
🎧 Listen in to discover:
● How safe spaces at work improve mental health, productivity, and connection
● Why burnout happens and how to set better boundaries
● The role of authenticity in workplace relationships
● How faith and identity shape career growth and decision-making
● Why organizations must truly listen to feedback and create real change
This conversation is for leaders, employees, and anyone looking to build a healthier, more fulfilling work environment.
