Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook for Leaders
Mon Jan 19 2026
In Episode 111, we kick off 2026 with a powerful conversation featuring Drs. Julian Barling and Simon Rego, co-authors of The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook for Leaders. Together, they explore how evidence-based psychological strategies can help leaders manage stress, burnout, anxiety, and other mental health challenges that undermine leadership effectiveness.
Key insights include:
* Why mental health isn’t just personal—it’s professional, and how leaders’ emotional states shape organizational culture.
* Practical, science-backed tools from therapy to improve resilience and decision-making.
* How leaders can use this workbook to build skills privately, cost-effectively, and sustainably.
* Why focusing on leaders’ well-being is critical for team performance and psychological safety.
* The surprising gap in research on leaders’ mental health—and what needs to change.
