The Well-Being Revolution is Redefining Leadership: Are We Ready?

As angst and uncertainty increase around the world, leaders are called to prioritize well-being. They must hold intimate, unfamiliar conversations about mental and emotional health with the people they lead, and they are responsible for integrating well-being into an organization’s performance and success metrics. Leaders must build connected, agile teams and foster a thriving culture using new work models. This well-being drive is a transformative shift, one which leaders are often not ready, willing, or able to do. Why? Because, at its core, this shift asks leaders to redefine who they are and how and why they lead. As coaches, are we ready to support this shift? Are we exemplifying this shift ourselves?

In this session, you will discover how a focus on well-being can create thriving leaders and organizations. Together we will explore how a global well-being revolution is reshaping what it means to lead, and the instrumental role coaches and the coaching industry play in advancing a leadership driven by well-being for the benefit of business, the planet, and humankind.

We will also draw on insights gained from a study of leadership across three health related industries: the global wellness economy, health care and pharma, and human potential (including coaching). According to the study, globally, these leaders are languishing or struggling. These results show that there’s great potential for the coaching industry to enhance their own thriving, and as a result increase our impact on the leaders and organizations we support.
