Leaders: what to say when someone on your team says "I'm not okay" #leadership #mentalfitness #manager

Hard school year as a teacher? Get one person to tell you which kind of hard this is. Watch what happens to your shoulders. #teachertok #teacherstruggles #novemberwall #educatorsupport

Would you send a grieving employee to a chatbot? 🤖 Leaders who care give their people a real human. #leadership #mentalfitness #employeewellbeing #ai #burnout

45% of people who quit say no leader talked with them about their work or their future in the three months before they left. The resignation letter shows up in January. The thinking starts now. You can't sit down with everyone this month. But you can find out who's drifting before they decide to go. The free Organizational Mental Fitness Scan shows you where your team stands: who's carrying too much, who's pulling away, and where to start. It takes a few minutes, and the results are yours. Take the free scan. Link in bio.

11 years in the Marines, then the uniform came off 🎖️ If you lead people: who are they when the title's gone? #leadership #mentalfitness #burnout #veterans #podcast

Your best people didn't decide to quit last week. Job searching jumps 11% in January. But the decision usually builds for months, through conversations that never happened. Jon breaks down why top talent leaves and how to spot the signs earlier. Watch on YouTube @getfortehq: https://youtu.be/PFjXk7SxgRc What's one conversation you've been avoiding with your team?

What if you stopped asking, "Why am I so tired?" and started asking, "Where is this coming from?" There are four places mental energy leaks from: clarity, attention, emotional load, and endurance. Most days it's not all four. It's just one. → Comment PACER to get our free 5 Day Plan to start making positive shifts in just 10 minutes a day.

Why does burnout return almost immediately after you get back from vacation? Researchers who study vacations keep finding the same pattern: you take time off, your burnout drops, and then you go back to work and it climbs again. In one study, burnout was back to where it started within about three weeks. Time off provides only a temporary buffer against stress. This video breaks down why your baseline exhaustion resets so quickly and what you can do to build long-term work-life balance.

Why can't you switch off after work, even after two hours on the couch with your head still in the 3pm meeting? Name what your mind is doing in a few words. If it's replaying, rehearsing or listing, that's a shift you never clocked out of, so pick one: phone in another room for 20 minutes, or a 10 minute walk without it, done before your next screen. Sitting down and clocking out are two different things. Comment OFF and I'll send you our Five Days to Train Within, a small evening rep for each night.

What do you do when you can't stop thinking about one thing from this week? Try this: watch the leaves, picture setting that one thing down, and take a single breath. If you're willing, tell us what you set down, or just write 'set down' and we'll leave it there with you. This is for teachers, nurses, parents, and anyone who carries other people's weeks along with their own.

Things you've never said out loud to anyone: why does it come out with a coach first? Because nobody on the call is hoping for a certain answer. #sayitoutloud #selfawareness #lifecoaching #coachingconversation #mentalfitness

Talk to someone who isn't family. Watch what happens when nobody tells you what to do and you start seeing it differently anyway. #mentalfitness #talktosomeone #coaching #personalgrowth #feelingstuck

You don't actually know your own values until something tests them, the health scare, the money, the relationship that's cracking. Here's what to do with that instead of just surviving it. #mentalfitness #personalgrowth #selfawareness #hardseason #innerwork

The phrase "it's fine, don't worry about it" is the fastest way to let someone skate by, and the best teacher I ever had refused to say it to me.

Not every week hands you a win you can report at Monday's standup, and that's not a failure on your part. #mentalfitness #burnoutprevention #hrleaders #worklifebalance #smallwins

He said he didn't need this. Now it's the one meeting on his calendar he never moves. Six months of a weekly 30 minutes with someone outside his org changed how he makes calls. #mentalfitness #hrleaders #leadershipdevelopment #workplaceculture #selfreflection

You don't have to burn out first to start building a better rhythm. Most people wait for the wake up call. You don't have to be one of them. #hrleaders #burnoutprevention #proactiveleadership #leadershipdevelopment #worklifebalance

Mentally tough people weren't born that way, not even in the Marine Corps. It's built in reps, under load, with people who know what they're building. Comment REP and I'll send you the first one. #mentalfitness #mentaltoughness #selfdevelopment #militarymindset #personalgrowth

Fixed my van door myself for $25 instead of paying a shop for labor. Then I realized we don't troubleshoot how we feel anymore, we just subscribe or medicate our way past it.

A teacher told me they were about to rage-quit mid-year. One coworker's sentence changed that. Here's what actually happened after they took the call. #teacherburnout #edutok #teachersupport #k12education
