And what quietly erodes it? In this episode, Louise Dennison O'Shaughnessy — Director of Mental Health and Wellbeing at EHS International — joins Gerry to unpack the behaviours that damage teams: unclear roles, poor communication, and toxic high performers who get a pass because of their output. They dig into negativity bias (80% of our thoughts are naturally negative), why busyness can become addictive, and practical ways to build healthier boundaries with work and technology. If you've ever felt overworked, unheard, or stuck in the wrong environment — this one's for you.________________________→ Train my organisation https://www.thisishcd.com/training→ Designing for Social Impact with Service Design with Gerry Scullion (and Rachael Dietkus) at Belfast Design Week https://belfastdesignweek.com/events/designingforsocialimpact-withservicedesign________________________BECOME A MEMBER (IT'S FREE!)→ Take the FREE Introduction to Journey Management course with Marc Stickdorn & Gerry Scullionhttps://www.thisishcd.com/learning/introduction-to-journey-management→ Discover & Connect with others https://www.thisishcd.com/directory → Claim partner discounts https://www.thisishcd.com/partners → Submit an Article https://www.thisishcd.com/blog → Video Courses https://www.thisishcd.com/courses________________________Click here to watch a video of this episode.
