Is Wellbeing For Wimps?
The word “wellbeing” might be fading at work—but not because people are thriving.
In this episode, Paul and Matt dig into why the concept is being tuned out (especially by men), and how reframing it as “readiness” helps reclaim its importance without turning it into a lifestyle brand.
Five Key Learnings:
- Wellbeing language can alienate—especially in high-pressure cultures.
- Framing it as “readiness” keeps the focus on performance, not perfection.
- 80-hour weeks don’t build grit—they drain capability and retention.
- You don’t need a full wellness protocol—just start with simple, proven habits.
- Readiness isn’t soft—it’s sustainable execution.
Humanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.
