The lines between work and home have become increasingly blurred.

It affects wellbeing, clarity, and long-term performance, and it shapes the experience of the teams who look to leaders for cues.

Each November, Stress Awareness Week offers a valuable reminder to pause and reflect on how we experience and manage pressure, both at work and beyond it. Too often, stress only gets real attention when it has already reached a breaking point.

But the truth is, it’s the silence, avoidance, and overwork that carry the greatest cost.

In our fast-paced lives, it can be easy to overlook just how much our mental wellbeing affects every aspect of our lives. From how we handle challenges at work to how we connect with loved ones at home, it plays a huge role in our overall happiness and success.
