About
What makes a workplace somewhere people genuinely want to be? In this episode, I sit down with Sebastian Buck, CEO and co-founder of Enso, to talk about what makes work meaningful and why belonging matters so much to your well-being. Sebastian shares how letting go of the pressure to be the perfect leader helped him reduce his anxiety, reshape his role, and focus on the work that energizes him. We also dive into the research behind workplace well-being, the importance of trust and psychological safety, and what leaders can do to build healthier workplace cultures. Tune in to discover how stronger human connections and a different approach to leadership help create healthier workplaces.
