We’re thrilled to welcome Allen Weiss, CEO & Founder of MarketingProfs, on Social Pros this week for a masterclass in mental health and mindfulness.
Addressing Mental Health in Social Media Teams
As social pros, we’ve all dealt with stress, burnout and anxiety…(gee, it’s probably a daily occurrence!)
But it’s so crucial we remember to take care of our minds and our souls and prioritize our mental health.
On this episode of Social Pros, we are joined by Allen Weiss, CEO & Founder of MarketingProfs.
Allen joins the show to discuss the benefits of mindfulness and meditation, why self-care is so important and how social pros can integrate mental health into their working routines.
Plus, Allen shares top tips on when and how to meditate, and plenty of other actionable advice.
We can think of so many times we’d have benefitted from taking a few moments to meditate at work – and we’re sure you can to!
Save and come back to this one in times of stress!
