How to Thrive as a Highly Sensitive Person at Work: Managing Burnout, Feedback, and Mental Health with Heather Dominick
Manage episode 512297098 series 3622819
Are you or someone on your team a highly sensitive person (HSP)? You’re not alone. Roughly 20% of the population is born with this trait, meaning their nervous system processes stimuli more deeply than others. In this eye-opening episode of Work Unscripted, host Marlo Lyons sits down with Heather Dominick, founder of the Highly Sensitive Leadership training program, to unpack what it really means to be an HSP in today’s fast-paced workplace.
They discuss how HSPs can prevent burnout, manage constructive and destructive criticism, and navigate crucial conversations—especially in feedback situations with managers. You’ll learn how to turn sensitivity into a superpower, communicate effectively with non-HSP leaders, and develop frameworks for giving and receiving feedback well.
Whether you’re an HSP professional, a manager leading an underperforming employee, or an HR leader striving to build inclusive environments, this episode provides actionable strategies to help highly sensitive people and their teams thrive.
Stay tuned to the end for a sneak peek of next week’s powerful episode, where Marlo shares her real performance review experience as a highly sensitive person: it’s raw, it’s real, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
