#102 – Why Wellbeing Drives Team Performance (with Eric Paul & Shawn Maurice)

What if the "soft" wellness conversation is actually the hardest lever for business performance? In this episode of the Working Well Podcast, host Tim talks with veteran HR and talent leaders Eric and Shawn, colleagues of over 20 years, about why capability and wellness are inseparable, why leaders unknowingly model burnout, and why AI makes stress resilience more critical, not less.

In this episode:

• Why "capability isn't sustainable without wellness" — and what that costs companies in real dollars
• The hidden way leaders role-model burnout without realizing it
• How to actually structure a one-on-one so it drives well-being, not just status updates
• The "corporate athlete" model: applying sports-coaching principles to leadership
• Why AI transformation should be led by HR, not just IT
• The IKEA case study: turning 8,500 displaced roles into $1B in new revenue
• A simple daily practice one executive used for 20 years to stay accountable as a leader
