Health-Centered Leadership: How to thrive at work and in life
Our health matters—but it’s often our last priority. Work stress, family responsibilities, and the worries that crop up from factors outside our control can all affect our health in negative ways. We want to feel capable and strong, but we risk finishing many of our days defeated and broken. What if there was an innovative way to approach your days that helped make protecting your health your first priority? By centering your decision-making in a new way, you can thrive and perform at your best, no matter what challenges you face. Join Nicole Glaser Boeck, biochemist, science writer, and health and wellness coach, for a deep dive to learn critical skills for protecting your health, no matter what is going on around you. In this science-based, interactive experience, you will learn three key questions to ask in any situation that will help you bring your health to the center of your decision-making process. We’ll talk about the latest science around how to support a health-based approach to work and life. We’ll delve into the coaching mindset: the ability you already have to embrace your innate expertise to identify the health tools that work best for you. You’ll leave with valuable takeaways: simple, actionable tools that lead to healthier daily routines, clarity around your life’s purpose and passion, and the ability to address challenges competently and confidently. This keynote will make you think, get you talking, and help you thrive for the long term.
