Work is not your family | Gloria Chan Packer | TEDxUTAustin



Published
Calling work "our family" has become a popular catchphrase -- but have we explored how doing so impacts our mental health in ways we don't realize? Gloria Chan Packer, a workplace mental wellness educator and experienced corporate leader, explores how this "cool culture" catchphrase can often breed burnout -- then guides us through an individual exercise to uncover our own burnout schemas, and reviews actionable strategies we can use to foster workplace mental wellness and to build more sustainable success into our work and personal lives.

Gloria Chan Packer is a Principal & Founder of Recalibrate, a workplace mental wellness provider that delivers a uniquely science-backed, realistic, and actionable approach to mental wellness for busy professionals. Recalibrate has trailblazed the workplace mental wellness industry since 2018, educating 20,000+ employees at client organizations globally. Prior to Recalibrate, Gloria led an established career in management consulting as a Senior Engagement Manager specializing in technology strategy and implementation for Fortune 500 clients. Gloria founded Recalibrate after an unexpected medical battle forced her to re-examine her relationship with stress, inspiring her to improve mental health education by promoting science over stigma. Gloria’s training and education includes various continuing education trainings with Deep Eddy Psychotherapy in Austin, Mindfulness Teacher Training from The Mindfulness Center in Washington, D.C., Executive Education from Columbia Business School, and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from The University of Texas at Austin. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
