Anxiety At Work? Reduce Stress, Uncertainty & Boost Mental Health Radical Acceptance: Do Your Biases Create Anxiety at Work?
Hello and welcome to Anxiety at Work. We hope the time you spend with us will help remove the stigma of anxiety and mental health in the workplace and your personal life.
📌 Key Takeaways for Radical Acceptance
- We all have "bias spheres" - belief systems 💭 ingrained since birth that impact how we see others. Be aware of your biases.
- "You can't treat every person like the one person who offended you." Make positive choices 🙌 even when biased.
- Leaders, use anonymous surveys 📝 and listening circles 👥 to hear about biases and bullying. Then take action. ⚡️
- Meet bias head-on. 😤 Talk to people who make you uncomfortable. Chances are it's not about you. 💁♀️
- Don't just look for "culture fits." 👥 Welcome "culture additions" 👩💼👨💼 who expand thinking. 💡
- Progress requires transparency 🔎 and listening. 👂 Get in the trenches with your team. ⛏
- Take small steps. 👣 Change one behavior this week toward greater inclusion. 👐
