Randal has a lingering suspicion about anything that reminds him of cults, mysticism or good old fashioned snake oil. What has been attracting his sceptical attention of late are the various claims made by the proponents of Mindfulness for improving psychological health, well being and performance in the workplace.
This episode is mostly Randal checking in on the evidence around these issues and best practice on mental health in the workplace with an authoritative practitioner in workplace mental health who has over 40 years of professional experience as a registered allied mental health practitioner. Unfortunately, that person didn't turn up so he spoke to David instead.
PS. Just a small request. If you like this rubbish and think someone you know might also like it, please pass on a link and recommendation. Word of mouth and recommendations are the best way for the Nonsense Dialogues to grow. Also please mention and recommend us on social media, in the campus common room, at the Qantas Chairman's Lounge; wherever you think prospective Nonsense Dialogues aficionados may be. Thank you.
Being good evidence based practitioners, we are seeking feedback from our audience on our podcasts. So please tell us all the things we are doing well as well as pandering to your innate drive to criticise the work of others.
We may listen and adjust or we may just continue to be ourselves and do things our own way, dammit.
