Going to work every day can be tiring and lead to stress and burnout. Anxiety and depression are very serious health issues that we must address and become aware of. Much like our guest, Julian Sarafian, who already had panic attacks in college and didn't even know he had social anxiety. Then he worked at a big law firm that earned him a lot, which used to be his goal. However, he realized that although you can make more money in the legal industry, pressure and stress are present. In this episode, he shares the importance of prioritizing mental health over money. He emphasizes that focusing on our well-being is essential. Now he is advocating for mental health on different platforms where his content focuses on the importance of mental health in the workplace and academic world.

About Alyssa

Hi there, I'm Alyssa.

I know a lot of moms start by saying they're moms but really, that's my favorite title. So I'll start there.

I love people and have a passion for their stories and development. I don't get stressed by a lot. I truly believe everything is working in my favor and trust in God's greater plan for my life.

My professional background is 15+ years in sales, 10+ years in sales leadership. I've been on large teams like Viacom, small startups and everything in between.

In 2019, I started to toy with the idea of leadership coaching. I had always lead engaged, overperforming teams and wanted to replicate my secret sauce to other leaders. In 2022, I got the push to get my coaching certification and have been working with leaders ever since.

I mention my ability to stay calm in times if stress because I believe this is what distinguishes great leaders. The ability to stay clam, to reframe stressful events, to understand your reaction is all work I do with leaders in my 1:1 coaching. Knowing how important this is, I created a resource exclusively for the Toxic Leadership Audience which can be found here: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/64e667398ae79e9ed264b418

Mark Talley is the son of Geraldine C. Talley, who was killed in the Tops shooting by a white supremacist on May 14th, 2022. Prior to this date, Mark just went along through the trials and tribulations of life believing there was nothing he could do, he was just powerless.

Afraid of what he would say or do, Mark just started volunteering everywhere he could on Jefferson Ave for the next several months to channel his emotion. After doing all this volunteering, Mark started feeling an urge to become more of a community leader / social advocate. This led to him forming his own nonprofit “Agents for Advocacy” and organizing his first charitable event on July 7th, 2022 “The Community BBQ and Prayer”. Mark in collaboration with others was able to serve over 700 hotdogs and hamburgers along with providing bags of fresh produce, gifts, appliances, and meats. On April 28th Agents for Advocacy organized a back-to-school drive in which over 500+ children were provided backpacks, calculators, pens/pencils, folders, and notebooks. Currently, Agents for Advocacy is raising funds to provide a Thanksgiving for the homeless.

It’s easy to stay in an environment that fosters peace, creativity, and amity. But more often than not, workplaces are a home to toxicity. Be it the stress of having to beat deadlines, or simply just interacting with different personalities, a toxic work environment can, one way or another, take its toll on you. Dr. Kevin Sansberry sits down with The Introvert Leader, Terrance Lee, to talk about navigating through toxicity in the workplace. Taking an introvert’s perspective, Terrance shares how he flourished as a shy, timid guy in the industry and how he empowers others to tap into their own inner leadership potential. If you have ever doubted yourself, or ever thought that you had to be extroverted to be successful in a toxic environment, it’s time to awaken the leader inside you because the truth is; your introversion is your superpower.
