WELLBEING BOOSTER

LEADERSHIP + WELLBEING

MY COMMITMENT + 2020 CAMPAIGN

On January 1, 2020, I launched a wellbeing campaign called “Let’s Live in the AND”. The purpose was to create conversations that centered around the fact that performance and wellbeing can coexist. I wanted to slow down and talk about getting clear about what is important to us, identifying the tradeoffs and making choices that would move us towards how we want to be and what we want to accomplish.

 

Little did I know that 2020 would be the year that the world would slow down due to the pandemic. Layer the racial reckoning on top of that and conversations around leadership and wellbeing became foundational to how we lived our lives.

WELLBEING DOMAINS + DEFINITIONS

While the dictionary definition of wellbeing is “the state of being happy, healthy, or prosperous,” the academic and scientific communities have various foci. When we am in conversations about wellbeing, these are the domains that we focus on.

Mental: Psychological

Ryff’s 6 factor model: 1) self-acceptance, 2) positive relations, 3) autonomy, 4) environmental mastery, 5) purpose in life, 6) a sense of personal growth.
