As our country has grown in their our understanding of the importance of mental health, it is still seen as a stigma in several disciplines (e.g. corporate and public). In this episode of Iona Speaks about Soaring Courageously, Iona R Rudisill speaks with Christi Venable, (https://www.refreshingsmile.com/christi-venable-ncc-lpc) CEO and founder of Smile Therapy Services, about the importance of mental health in the workplace and how to create psychologically safe environments. They discuss the need for leaders to prioritize employee well-being, the integration of personal and professional health and the impact of mentorship. Christi shares her journey into mental health, the evolution of her business, and the significance of collaboration over competition. The conversation also highlights the Refreshing Smile workbook and various wellness initiatives, including retreats and workshops, aimed at enhancing self-care and productivity in organizations.

Here are some Key Takeaways from this podcast conversation:

  • Emphasizing the need for leaders to foster psychological safety in the workplace.
