All sessions by Roy →Mental health and workplace performance are interconnected. In this keynote I explore behavioural wellness, the intentional actions that foster connection, kindness, and belonging within teams. By prioritising these behaviours, teams can boost effectiveness, strengthen engagement, and enhance overall well-being.
During the expert session, Roy Glukckman engages the audience through interactive exercises, Q&A sessions, and live demonstrations.
In this expert session, Roy explores the impact of uncertainty on both individuals and organizations from a psychological perspective. He discusses how uncertain situations trigger a hypervigilant response from our nervous system due to feelings of unsafe, which in turn affects our mental and physical health.
Utilizing the concept of a "performance pyramid," Roy illustrates that feeling safe physically and psychologically is vital for optimal performance.
Furthermore, Roy explains how our brains try to create binaries when faced with uncertainty, potentially leading to simplistic or extreme views. He underscores the importance of understanding these dynamics in order to work effectively and maintain good mental and physical health within a team or organization.
Roy provides several suggestions for fostering a sense of belonging and psychological safety in the workplace: co-designing shared feelings, creating rituals of connection, using regulated language, addressing ruptures quickly, and practicing embodied leadership.
Roy continues to explain that in a distributed team setting, building trust and psychological safety becomes more challenging due to physical distance. However, it is still achievable through deliberate efforts in communication, addressing power imbalances, and fostering open dialogue around accountability, safety, vulnerability, and psychological safety.
By creating spaces for these discussions, organizations can enable team members to feel safe enough to express their concerns and vulnerabilities, ultimately leading to a more engaged and productive work environment.
Overall, the expert session provides valuable insights into dealing with stress, addressing mistakes, responding to emotions, and fostering a sense of belonging in uncertain times. The importance of communication, understanding power dynamics, and creating a deliberate space for addressing these issues emerged as key takeaways for building a more inclusive and effective work environment.
No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction. What the hour itself covers: Mental health and workplace performance are interconnected. In this keynote I explore behavioural wellness, the intentional actions that foster connection, kindness, and belonging within teams.
Roy Gluckman is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.2 out of 5, across 208 responses, and rate Roy personally 4.4 out of 5.
It is interactive, and the block higher up on this page says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Roy, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
