If people leaders (i.e. managers) have a greater impact on employee mental health and wellbeing than their therapist or significant other, what’s with allllllllll the toxic bosses roaming around workplaces, wreaking havoc?! From my perspective, there are three key drivers of this phenomenon: ?? Well intentioned, yet misguided leadership development experiences (if offered at all) ?? Missing feedback mechanisms to guide continuous improvement ?? Undervaluing the role of behavioral consistency in creating psychological safety I truly believe folks show up in the workplace desiring to do their best work. However, if your people leaders are not trained and educated to set their teams up for success, this employee intention quickly deteriorates as survival mode sets in.

If you can control a man’s thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions.” — Carter G. Woodson, The Mis-Education of the Negro (1933). Corporate America figured this out a long time ago. They don’t need to limit your success. They just need you to believe you’re limited. That’s the miseducation. You’ve been conditioned to think: Your paycheck = Your worth Your title = Your potential Your potential = Someone else’s decision And once you accept that as truth, you stop questioning. You stop reaching for more. You stay exactly where they want you. When really, the only thing standing between you and your next level is your choice. This is exactly what we’re tackling at The UNPLUG Experience. Because the future of work isn’t about being chosen—it’s about taking control.

We’ve been in labor market stalemate since the summer of 2024. While 50% of employees are looking for new jobs (Gallup), many are not making the leap for fear of being the last one in, first one out. Additionally, employers are not adding new roles like they did during The Great Resignation (aka The Great Talent Grab) making movement in the market only possible when someone leaves their current role. Hence, a frozen labor market. On a positive note, like our awkward, frustrating teenage years, this is just a phase. The question is: will you be ready when the labor market starts moving again?!
