With the unprecedented pace of change and innovation today, a top executive’s biggest challenge is finding a way to manage stakeholder expectations alongside constant internal chaos. Maintaining a large company in this rapidly evolving environment can be overwhelming, and that’s why many leaders in the HR space and other industries are turning to an unconventional method that is expanding our perception of wellbeing: microdosing.
Microdosing is the controlled use of psychedelic drugs that can help alleviate the overwhelming feelings of stress that many of us feel in the modern workplace. A microdose is roughly one-tenth the normal dose of a given drug, to the point where its effects are sub-perceptual. Rick Doblin, founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, says it’s enough “to feel a little bit of energy lift, a little bit of insight, but not so much that you’re tripping.”
