    #102 – Why Wellbeing Drives Team Performance (with Eric Paul & Shawn Maurice)
    Nov 11 2026
    What if the "soft" wellness conversation is actually the hardest lever for business performance? In this episode of the Working Well Podcast, host Tim talks with veteran HR and talent leaders Eric and Shawn, colleagues of over 20 years, about why capability and wellness are inseparable, why leaders unknowingly model burnout, and why AI makes stress resilience more critical, not less. In this episode: Why "capability isn't sustainable without wellness" — and what that costs companies in real dollars The hidden way leaders role-model burnout without realizing it How to actually structure a one-on-one so it drives well-being, not just status updates The "corporate athlete" model: applying sports-coaching principles to leadership Why AI transformation should be led by HR, not just IT The IKEA case study: turning 8,500 displaced roles into $1B in new revenue A simple daily practice one executive used for 20 years to stay accountable as a leader #WorkingWellPodcast #Leadership #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkplaceCulture #HR #FutureOfWork #AIatWork #BurnoutPrevention #ExecutiveCoaching #HighPerformance

    Nov 4 2026
    When was the last time you caught someone doing something exceptionally well, and actually said something? In episode 20 of the 52 Life Lessons series, host Tim Borys explains why leaders are trained problem detectors, what that habit quietly costs their teams, and the simple three-step framework, See it, Say it, Scale it, that turns recognition into a performance system instead of a perk. In this episode: Why negativity bias makes leaders excellent at spotting problems and poor at naming what's working The difference between coaches who build you up and coaches who only correct you Tim's candid story of the leadership mistake that cost him excellent people Why "it's just their job" misses a basic human need for competence, meaning, and progress The research: a 17 percent performance improvement from structured reinforcement, and the finding that feedback backfires in more than a third of cases The positive deviance story from rural Vietnam and what it means for finding the bright spots already inside your organization How to give specific recognition in ten seconds, and the 24-hour challenge for every leader Think well.
