In Episode 11, Newton Cheng, Director of Health + Performance at Google, takes us on an emotional journey of his experience with burnout during the pandemic.
We get an up close and personal look into how he addressed and transcended depression and ultimately cultivated "Emotional Vibrancy" (i.e., newfound meaning, purpose, and joy in his life and work).
In our discussion, we pulled back the curtain on:
- Contributing factors to Newton's burnout and his trepidations in requesting a mental health leave.
- How he summoned the courage to request a mental health leave.
- Reducing "mental health stigma" in the workplace.
- Why some referred to his leave as a "sabbatical."
- Wellness and stress mastery practices he now embraces to help prevent a burnout relapse.
- Impacts (good and bad) of remote and hybrid work on employee mental health, burnout, and performance.
- The rise and implications of senior leader burnout.
- How Newton's "burnout story" has been received at Google and elsewhere.
- Measures Workplace Wellness leaders might embrace to help prevent and address systemic burnout.
- What his speaking engagements have revealed about employee mental health and burnout today.
