How well do we really understand the thoughts and emotions influencing the way we work, lead and live?
In this episode, Kim sits down with Chris Williams, Founder of Koala Wellbeing, to explore the human side of business and what it takes to stay well while navigating pressure, uncertainty and adversity.
Chris shares his own journey into wellbeing, including seeking support himself, the stigma around men asking for help, and how his career in learning and development led him to Emotional Intelligence.
Together, they explore self-awareness, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, resilience, identity and belonging, and the journey from performance to survival and ultimately burnout. Chris also introduces the “ME Window” — a practical tool for stepping back from difficult thoughts, understanding what matters and breaking patterns that can keep us stuck.
A practical and honest conversation about understanding ourselves better and finding healthier ways to live, work and lead.
