Your top performer just isn’t themselves. They’re distracted, quiet, and missing minor details. You know something’s off, but you’re not a therapist, and you're not sure what to say.

In this episode, Dr. Bray delves into a powerful conversation about how leaders can effectively support employees in distress without crossing boundaries or becoming overwhelmed. Inspired by insights from Harvard Business Review and grounded in the tools of modern psychology, we explore how frameworks like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offer surprising and practical ways to lead with clarity, empathy, and purpose.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your instinct to “fix” things might backfire

  • How to use simple CBT strategies to help people shift stuck thinking

  • Why ACT’s message—that we can move forward even in discomfort is precisely what your team needs

  • What to say (and what not to say) when someone’s having a hard day

  • How to create a culture where emotional well-being and high performance go hand in hand

Whether you manage a team of five or lead a division of five hundred, this episode will leave you with tools to support your people with confidence, humanity, and science on your side.

Tune in to discover why the most effective leaders today aren’t just strategic, they’re psychologically savvy.

QUOTES BY DR. BRAY

"With the right training and tools, support in the moment can make all the difference."

"Managers today are leading anxious workforces, and the need for emotional support is more critical than ever."

"Sometimes we don't need a major intervention, just a low-level conversation with someone who listens."
