What if supporting your team’s mental health was the key to unlocking their full potential?
In this compassionate and eye-opening episode of People Success Circle, I sit down with Nisi Bennett—nurse, speaker, and workplace mental health expert—to explore what it truly means to prioritize well-being at work.
Drawing from nearly two decades in nursing and public health, Nisi shares why mental health isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a leadership imperative. From identifying early warning signs to creating policy that supports—not punishes—employees during difficult times, this episode is packed with practical, human-centered strategies every workplace can start using right away.
You’ll walk away with powerful insights on how to create a culture of belonging, advocate before disciplining, and build systems that care for the whole person—not just their performance.
Key Takeaways:
From Policy to Prevention: Why true culture change starts long before crisis—and how to build it into your onboarding, policies, and daily leadership habits.
Burnout Warning Signs: Learn the 3 stages of mental health decline at work (distraction, disruption, crisis) and how leaders can step in early with empathy.
Advocacy Over Discipline: How to use advocacy models instead of rushing to punitive measures—and why it benefits both people and the business.
Real-World Strategies: From redesigning emergency contacts to making EAPs actually usable, Nisi shares actionable ways to create safety and trust in your team.
Mental Health for Job Seekers: How to care for your emotional well-being during one of life’s most stressful transitions—and why asking for help is a strength, not a setback.
If you’re a people-first leader—or striving to become one—this episode offers a blueprint for creating a workplace where mental health isn’t just a checkbox. It’s a commitment.
