Business is Human: Strategies for Sustainable Success and Well-being

“We've created a real problem over the last 75 to 100 years, and that’s because it's the humans that create the businesses and lead the businesses.”

In this Business is Human episode, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession explains how integrating personal, emotional, and social needs into the workplace can lead to sustainable growth and success.

Rebecca shares her personal journey through burnout and the impactful lessons she learned along the way. Additionally, she introduces the VRI (Value, Relevance, and Impact) methodology that she developed to help businesses thrive while honoring human needs.

Tune in to learn about actionable strategies to foster a healthier and more fulfilling work environment.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• How personal, emotional, and social needs are equally important as business goals.
• To recognize the signs of burnout in yourself and others and understand that the root causes often include the drive to prove oneself and over-prioritizing business needs.
