Your Mental Health Forms your identity with: Scott Burgett

Forty-five percent of Canadian business owners experienced
mental health challenges in early 2023, up from 38 percent in February 2022,
according to a May survey by the Business Development Bank of Canada. According
to a recent study by Willis Towers Watson, nearly half (45 percent) of US
workers report having experienced mental illness in their lifetime. Over
three-quarters (76 percent) say they have experienced emotional distress due to
work pressures in the last 12 months. And more than half (51 percent) say their
emotional pain was severe enough to impact their ability to do their job well.
In addition, recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that
over one-third (36%) of US workers are experiencing symptoms related to
depression or anxiety on any given day. The impact of poor mental health in the
workplace may be evident with signs such as High turnover rate, Employees who
frequently call out sick, Teams struggling to meet targets, and Evidence of
stress or burnout in employees, according to the UC Berkeley Executive
Education.

As a small business owner, visionary leader, father, and
husband, Scott Burgett has experienced an extraordinarily personal and profound
journey with his mental health within the last year and 1/2.  Dealing with his health scare, dealing with
blood clots, and fearing his life was going to end, Scott, the CEO of Evolution
Vegan Academy, took some time this week to share his natural, raw, and
emotional journey with his mental health with me.  He also shares why he thinks men should be
more forthcoming with their mental health journey, successes, and failures so
we can all learn and grow together.  He
also shares how he continues to work towards excellence as a father, husband,
and individual.
