Life Vitality is all about enhancing well-being in every aspect of our lives. This October, we’re highlighting some of our favorite media that inspire growth, leadership, and balance—perfect for nurturing both personal and professional development. Whether you’re looking for guidance on leading with courage, finding happiness amidst chaos, or innovative ways to transform the workplace, these podcasts offer a wealth of insights. We believe in the power of continuous learning and have put together these recommendations to help you #LearnAndGrow and #LearnAndLead. Here are some of our top picks for this month:
Dare To Lead
Dare to Lead with Brené Brown is a podcast series centered on the ethos of leading as a “change catalyst.” Through insightful conversations with renowned guests like organizational psychologist Adam Grant and thought leader Simon Sinek, Brené Brown explores the intersection of personal and professional growth. Known for her ability to articulate emotional and psychological needs in the workplace, Brené challenges leaders to bring a deeper sense of purpose and passion to their leadership style. Each episode encourages listeners to lead with authenticity, cultivate courage, and inspire positive change within their teams and communities.
The Happiness Lab
The Happiness Lab is a great podcast for anyone trying to increase happiness in their life. For many leaders, finding ways to be happy is critical to their work. A leader sets the mood for their team. If a leader is angry or disengaged most of the time, their team will feel this and reflect that mood, which is why it is so important for leaders to find ways to bring more happiness in their lives. Although most of this podcast is not targeted towards leaders, it does offer many episodes that discuss topics that often affect leaders in dynamic ways. For example, in this episode “Choice Overload”, Dr Santos speaks with a psychologist, a business school professor, and a professional organizer to discuss decision fatigue and how simplifying some of the smaller decisions we have to make, will allow us to show up more authentically for the bigger decisions. Many leaders know first hand how decision fatigue affects their ability to keep up with the changing world.
