Ep 182: Dealing with challenges at work using Psychological Flexibility

I recently spoke at the Health and Wellbeing at Work conference in Birmingham, on supporting employees to overcome challenges and setbacks.

On the back of lots of positive feedback, I decided to record an episode outlining the main points I shared with delegates on the day, to share with a wider audience. And hopefully improve on my delivery!

In this episode, I explain what Psychological Flexibility is, how psychological rigidity shows up, why flexibility helps us deal with the everyday challenges and setbacks we can expect to encounter at work, and how the skills that comprise the psychological flexibility skill set contribute.

Do get in touch with your questions and comments (podcast at worklifepsych dot com) and let me know how this topic resonates with you.

As ever, thanks for listening.
