How do you view work life balance?

For some it's an indulgence or luxury, for others, it's an essential, non-negotiable aspect of work and life. Whatever your view being more aware of what you want in life is surely an important step for all.

In this episode I am joined by Dan Pontefract, who redefines and refrains it by calling it work life bloom. He argues that if we want to apply our best selves to our work, we need to be more human and curious and what it is that we want.

He discusses his ideas around work life bloom, and how the concept of work life balance is flawed. He shares how leaders can enable their teams to bloom and how to marshal that process. He also talks about how leaders can protect their own mental health when having to support others through their own struggles.
