Stress in work & study life

Does your inner judge accompany you to work?

A podcast dialogue between CBS’s Principal Nikolaj Malchow-Møller and stress researcher Pernille Steen Pedersen.

CBS’s Principal Nikolaj Malchow-Møller and Pernille Steen Pedersen in a dialogue about the challenges in work and study life brought about by the Corona pandemic. They talk about stress, shame and well-being in study- and work-life at CBS and dive into questions from students and faculty. For example, one student had shared: “I can see that I have a guilty conscience all the time, which in many ways seems compatible with shame. The guilty conscience lies first and foremost in all the things I fail to accomplish. Every week, there are texts I do not read and in spite of the expectation of studying being a full-time job, I have to work to earn a living as well. All of these things contribute to my guilty conscience. I am certain that others experience the same. How can I get rid of this feeling?”

The podcast also zooms in on the importance of working with stress prevention and to create strong communities at CBS to this end, because how we see and acknowledge our selves and each other is central to addressing the underlying triggers of stress.
