In this conversation, I sit down with Sara Duxbury to explore the real challenges facing leaders and employees today—burnout, the hidden costs of remote work, and why most workplace wellbeing strategies are missing the mark.
Sara's journey from aspiring forensic psychologist to occupational psychology expert reveals a passion for understanding what truly motivates people and how to create meaningful change in their working lives.
After years in-house managing teams and wellbeing programmes, she made the leap to consulting—a shift prompted by her own need for more focused, impactful work.
We dig into the uncomfortable truths about post-COVID workplace dynamics. Employees now expect more from their employers, but companies are still reacting to crises rather than building proactive wellbeing strategies. Leaders are burning out and quietly planning exits. And remote work, despite the promises, has often led to longer hours and increased anxiety rather than the balance we hoped for.
This isn't a conversation about quick fixes or surface-level self-care. It's about the human element of wellbeing, the importance of meaningful work, and what it actually takes to integrate rest into leadership and life.
