I'm a VP at the company behind Advil and Tums. My day starts with double-screening YouTube and Netflix and ends with surfing Amazon ratings.

I finish with a short meditation to help me get my head in the game for the day. Courtesy of Beth GaetaCourtesy of Beth GaetaI'll also do informal chats with colleagues around our desks or we'll have a"walking coffee chat."Later in the morning, I attend a meeting where I help make decisions on which new innovation projects we will initiate or advance. This month, one idea was implementing changes to make our packaging more sustainable.

If I'm walking, I may turn on a podcast from NPR or the New York Times. Otherwise, I'll get my steps in by walking around the office.With the leadership team, we start with a"Best of Me" exercise, which helps us understand how we can best support one another. Everyone buddies up and we have quick"speed dating" conversations where each person shares with their partner what they need from the other person to be"at their best." Beth Gaeta

This lab allows Haleon to take consumer research and model retail scenarios virtually and physically to better understand and enhance the consumer shopping experience. A small team called our Innovation Incubator helps us learn our way into spaces that are new to us such as diagnostics, devices, or digital complements for our physical products. We meet regularly to discuss"aha moments" and learnings from our latest experiments. When I get home from work, I often get pulled outside to watch my younger daughter practice gymnastics on our trampoline.With the extra hours of sunlight, we have more opportunities to go on walks after work.
