This Episode: `Uplevelling Wellbeing – with Dr Neha Sangwan`

Lucinda welcomes Dr. Neha Sangwan, an engineer turned medical doctor and executive coach, who specialises in addressing the global epidemic of burnout and shares her insights on wellbeing and avoiding burnout on a grand scale.

Dr Sangwan discusses her personal experience with burnout as a doctor and the lack of awareness and training in the medical field, emphasising the importance of self-awareness and listening to our bodies’ signals to prevent burnout. She also highlights the six drivers of personal and organisational fit that contribute to burnout and offers strategies for creating a culture of wellbeing in the workplace.

Key Takeaways

Recognising the early signs of burnout is crucial in preventing it from escalating into a crisis.
It is important to prioritise self-care and listen to the signals our bodies are sending us.
Workload, control, recognition, community, fairness, and meaning are the six drivers that determine personal and organisational fit and can contribute to burnout if not addressed.
Creating a culture of trust, transparency, and collaboration is essential in promoting wellbeing and preventing burnout.
Individual wellbeing is interconnected with organisational wellbeing, and both should be addressed to create a healthier work environment.

Best Moments

“What I am proposing is in parallel to the crisis management, that we also use this as a wake up call to ask them, What strategies have you been using that you’ve outgrown that are no longer useful for you?”

“Your body’s talking. The question is, are you listening?”

“If you want to solve it and you want to up level how you function, you have to get to the root cause of where you’re having a net gain or a net drain of energy on a physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual level.”

“We’re a world looking for trust again, in ourselves and in each other. And if leadership is not modelling this, and that’s why you got to make it safe.”
