People Soup - Behavioural Science For A More Meaningful Way To Work

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 37 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.  In this episode I dive into the complexities of navigating Christmas using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Recognizing the mixed emotions that many experience during the holidays, I offer practical strategies grounded in psychological flexibility, compassion, and values-driven action. I cover techniques for managing expectations, staying present, and clarifying holiday values to make the festive season more meaningful and manageable. I also share updates on ACT in the workplace and announces new opportunities for collaboration and learning. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their personal context and employ simple exercises to practice acceptance and mindfulness.For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond. For those of you who are regular P Soupers - thanks for t
