Breakthru: Microbreaks for the Modern Workday

"A lot of leaders, unfortunately, have one thing in common: the inability to take a break. Whether it’s short breaks away from the desk or computer throughout the day or taking advantage of accrued vacation days or paid time off, leaders pack their schedules with back-to-back meetings with no time to eat or even think in between." "When we take breaks, even small ones throughout the workday, the benefits we reap can be immediate in both clearer, longer-term thinking and in shorter-term, strategic systems thinking. Leaders might feel like they can’t think straight or make decisions but experience a-ha moments in the shower or on a walk or bike ride or even on the weekend — “it made sense all of a sudden” or “it just came to me” — but it’s actually because they were finally able to take a break." At Breakthru, we love the phrase "think on your feet" because we can all relate to the lightbulb moment of clarity that so often comes with moving, being outside, or taking a moment away from a challenge. Moving your body and mind away from work can actually be the best way to come back with creative ideas and a new motivation to tackle a project. Your mind in motion is the most powerful tool you own- bring it into your workday today and everyday. https://lnkd.in/gZZjvPwN #microbreak #ThinkOnYourFeet #Movement #Motion

Hey HR network - if you knew that your people were using something that made them more productive, engaged and happier at work wouldn't you want to know about it? I've joined Breakthru as a advisor, and as I scroll through the customer list, I am astonished at the logos and the numbers, representing people who have found us. Workers are seeking this out and using it every day, and many CHROs, Chief Medical Officers, and other key executives are unaware. Just imagine if you put this on every laptop (it's embedded in MS Teams, BTW) and encouraged it? My call center/BPO tribe really needs to check this out.

Great to see the growth and traction of evidence based work of Melissa Painter and Breakthru: Microbreaks for the Modern Workday and have them in our Telosity Ventures portfolio.

Can I just say that this fact always makes me smile? Small moments in motion have big impact. The benefits of moments of motion in your day are both instant, and grow with practice.

The digital health and wellness space is crowded. The return on investment in the platforms is murky. That's why I joined Breakthru: Microbreaks for the Modern Workday as an advisor. This gem is beloved in many of the brands we know but more importantly, it's based on hard science - quantitative and clinical. It is so much more than "health and wellness". In a class by itself - intuitive, engaging, fun and delivering on its promise in two minutes. Break away from the pack! Who doesn't have two minutes?
