How might your perception of work-life balance be limiting your ability to create authentic connections and sustained productivity in your professional environment?

Discover how to transform burnout into breakthrough on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Michelle Niemeyer, former attorney turned transformational coach, shares her powerful framework called "The Art of Bending Time" that helped her rediscover joy in her work and create extra hours in her week without sacrificing career success.

Listen as Dr. Joey and Michelle explore:

☀️ How a health crisis led to discovering the mindset shifts that transformed her relationship with work

☀️ Why work-life balance is a myth that creates disconnected teams and lobotomized workforces

☀️ The business detox process that creates clarity on what truly matters in your bigger picture

☀️ How to become a "Time Suck Ninja" and eliminate internal and external productivity drains

☀️ Why getting to know coworkers as human beings is essential for creating engaged teams

Michelle transforms professionals by helping them understand that the same job can feel completely different when you change how you perceive and exist within it. After 33 years as a successful attorney, she discovered that sustainable productivity comes from alignment between personal clarity and professional purpose.

🔑 Key Insight: "Work-life balance doesn't work—it's a myth we've been fed. When you have a lobotomized workforce where people keep work apart from their personal life, you don't develop real relationships. You're never gonna have a good team if the team doesn't have relationships that are respectful and understanding where they get each other."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Talk to the people you work with about more than just the task at hand. Pick one person from your work and get to know them as a human being. Talk to them about something that matters to you outside of work, and ask them about theirs. That's how you build real relationships and create teams that want to succeed together.

What specific changes could you make to your hiring and onboarding process that would make candidates excited to work for your company rather than dreading the experience?

Discover why the "labor shortage" is actually a leadership problem on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Ryan Englin, author of "Hire Better People Faster," reveals why it's not that nobody wants to work anymore—it's that nobody wants to work for companies that treat hiring as an HR problem instead of a marketing challenge.

Listen as Dr. Joey and Ryan explore:

☀️ Why complaining about finding good people is easier than doing the hard work to attract them

☀️ How treating hiring as a marketing problem instead of an HR problem transforms your results

☀️ The critical difference between rock stars who stay long-term and superstars who job-hop

☀️ Why Gallup's Q12 question about having a best friend at work increases engagement by 600%

☀️ How to put candidate needs first during interviews to become an employer of choice

Ryan transforms blue-collar companies by helping them understand that top performers already have jobs and only leave because of bad leadership. His approach focuses on creating authentic attraction strategies that make A-players want to stay and grow with your organization.

🔑 Key Insight: "It's not that nobody wants to work anymore—it's that nobody wants to work for you. If you want to be attractive as an employer of choice, put the needs of the candidate in front of your needs during the interview and onboarding process. When you do that, they will take care of you long term."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Let your people tell your story. Ask your employees to record quick 60-second selfie videos talking about what it's like to work at your company, then share those testimonials everywhere. If you can't find employees willing to do this, that might be the real problem you need to solve first.
