Like if you are a leader of an organization and you do not have EQ, if you could not rank yourself at a 10 in EQ, you better get there.

Because what causes this so much is fear.

employers are afraid of their own employees.

They're afraid of them walking in and saying, this is disrupting my mental health.

And because I don't understand what mental health really is or how that might actually disrupt someone's mental health.

I'm afraid that it might be.

And it's like stepping on the cancer word.

Like I have cancer, I have mental cancer.

And I'm like, I don't know what that is.

And I don't know how to fix it.

And I, is this deadly?

Is it problematic?

Is it

And I work with employers every day who are literally afraid of their employees.

They're afraid to stand and say, yes, it's hard to take no's on the phone and you're gonna be okay.

This is what we're gonna do.

We don't need to take a day off.

We can push through it.

The problem is if we don't understand what's happening ourselves, can we really stand with confidence with our employees and walk them through it, coach them through it, teach them through it?

Or do we just think we're getting, we're going to step on that landmine, that mental health landmine that's going to blow us up.
