Confirmation bias is shaping our world in ways many don't realise, especially through social media algorithms designed to keep us scrolling and engaged with content that reinforces our existing beliefs.

• Social media platforms track what you click, like, comment on, and even how long you hover over posts
• Algorithms feed you more of what you've shown interest in, creating echo chambers where everyone thinks the same way
• During COVID, people were divided based on what content they engaged with about vaccines, lockdowns, and policies
• The Charlie Kirk incident shows how quickly social media pushes people to opposite sides without waiting for facts
• Challenge yourself by following people you disagree with to gain a more balanced perspective
• Turn off your devices regularly and talk to real people in the real world
• Remember that someone's differing opinion isn't wrong – you just don't agree with it

Roger Sutherland addresses the critical need for shift worker education and support in 24-7 workplaces, introducing an innovative Shift Work Champions model that trains staff to become wellbeing leaders for their peers.

• Shift work organisations face three major problems when workers aren't supported: increased unplanned leave, rising staff turnover, and more workplace accidents
• The cost of doing nothing is already visible in safety reports, budgets, and organisational effectiveness
• Traditional approaches of occasional emails or flyers about shift work health are inadequate
• The new Shift Work Champions model trains selected staff through 12-week coaching programs
• Champions receive one-on-one guidance, access to a private community, weekly Q&A sessions, and monthly webinars
• This approach embeds knowledge within the workplace, normalises healthy practices, and creates sustainable change
• Managers are responsible for staff wellbeing and need to implement proper support systems

If you want to explore how the Shift Work Champions model could work in your workplace, visit the link in the show notes for The Seminar Experience" where you can book a call or download the e-brochure.

Former police officer Roger Sutherland shares his journey from workplace trauma to healing through breathwork techniques. His four-decade career in law enforcement left him with anxiety and trust issues, but learning proper breathing patterns helped restore his mental wellbeing.

• Proper breathing directly communicates with our autonomic nervous system that we are safe
• Breathing in through the nose for four counts and out through pursed lips for eight counts helps transition from hypervigilance to calm
• Optimal functioning requires about 12 breaths per minute, while many people "over-breathe"
• The key isn't getting more oxygen but efficiently utilizing carbon dioxide in the body
• Post-COVID social division is fueled by social media algorithms creating confirmation bias
• Traditional divisive topics (religion, politics) now include COVID and environmental issues
• Management betrayal in policing causes more psychological damage than traumatic incidents
• Stereotyping of groups (like African communities) fails to recognize positive contributions
• Societal changes since COVID include increased cashless payments and reduced services

If you're interested in learning more about breathwork or would like to work with Roger, visit ahealthyshift.com or find The Healthy Shift podcast on all platforms.
