For years, Dan Pontefract held senior roles leading corporate culture change, leadership development and employee experience at companies like SAP and TELUS. He is also an award winning author of five leadership books, a renowned leadership speaker, and podcaster and Forbes contributor.
Dan and Brenda chat about his latest book, “Work-Life Bloom: How to Nurture a Team That Flourishes” and in this discussion, Dan challenges the “work life balance,” mantra and articulates the gap between our understanding of “balance”and the current realities of our work. He argues the need to focus on “blooming” vs. “balance, and that we will all go through periods of blooming, budding, and stunted growth in the ecosystem of our workplace and career.
This book is a must-read for today’s leaders struggling with disconnected work environments, polarizing views, and challenges with burnout and stress.
