7 GEN 2025 · I had the privilege of hosting Army Veteran John Cornelius, who shed light on the critical connection between firearm safety and suicide prevention. With alarming statistics—such as 82% of young people who die by firearm suicide accessing weapons from friends or family—John emphasized the importance of responsible firearm storage in creating safer homes. Drawing from his work with the Firearm Suicide Prevention Grant and personal experiences, he shared actionable insights for workplace leaders, from hosting gunlock distribution days to integrating educational sessions on safe storage. Particularly in high-risk industries like construction, these measures can bridge the gap between awareness and action, fostering a culture of safety to help prevent tragedies.

10 DIC 2024 · I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierluigi-mancini-phd-7bb1bb1/, a stalwart in promoting mental health awareness for the Spanish-speaking workforce. As we delved into the intricacies of mental health care and its accessibility, it became strikingly clear that we must move beyond mere translation and token gestures. Instead, we need a comprehensive strategy that acknowledges and integrates cultural and linguistic diversity. Dr. Mancini aptly put it: recognizing cultural cues can be the key to mental wellness at work. This underscores the necessity for organizations to train their supervisors and HR teams in detecting nuanced expressions of mental distress that might not conform to Western paradigms.

3 DIC 2024 · My favorite takeaway from the episode was about why managing difficult emotions isn't a sign of weakness; it’s a strategic weapon. This is crucial for leaders who often feel the pressure and weight of expectations. Morra nailed it when she said that many leaders would rather admit to cheating on their taxes than confess to feeling anxious! It's time we shift that mindset and embrace anxiety as a part of leadership. We might just find that those struggles, the very things we've been trying to hide, are actually our hidden superpowers. I’m truly inspired by her work, and I hope you all found the episode as enlightening as I did.
