Episode 11 - Can Leader Character and CBT work together to foster well being?

Summary: In this episode Mary and I welcome Dr. Marsha Rothstein. Our conversation was inspired by an inquiry which asked if Leader Character had anything to offer a stressed-out student population weary from dealing with a pandemic, job-hunting, social distancing and endless screen time. We thought Marsha had something to offer given her 30 years of clinical psychology in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) helping her patients address and overcome emotional difficulties. Our conversation turned out to be extremely timely, helpful and practical. Marsha’s and Mary’s conversation has a timeless quality to it and is helpful to all. The bottom line? Leader Character and CBT, working together, can have a huge impact on how you respond to the pressures of everyday life which, as we all know, have been ratcheted up tremendously by the pandemic. You can take greater control of your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and responses. You are not alone and working together will lead to better outcomes and well-being for all. (Running time ~76 minutes)
