Work-life Balance – Walking the Talk with Jayne Bullen

Welcome to the first interview on a Recipes for Resilience Series. I am with Jayne Bullen. She is the Chief Operations Officer of the Noakes Foundation and the Managing Director of the Nutrition Network. We will discuss work-life balance during the pandemic and what does walking the talk as a leader take. 

What will you learn?

In my recent blogs we have looked into the definition, main reasons and different stages of burnout  as well as resilience at work. So much has changed. The pandemic has truly accelerated existing challenges but also provided new opportunities. 

The Recipes for Resilience will  focus on sharing the opportunities and solutions – what is working, what keeps us going. 

In this episode you will learn about: 

  • Jayne’s personal resilience practises.
  • What she has done to support her employees.
  • How did the Nutrition Network manage to grow during the first year of the pandemic.
  • The importance of knowing your own “why” to keep going.
"Keep reconnecting to your why. What is that made you choose what it is you do, whatever that may be. This is the way not to collapse or drown in it." - Jayne Bullen
