Wellness Centred Leadership
What is Wellness Centred leadership?
In a time of unprecedented levels of burnout within healthcare, leaders of today need more than to simply direct their teams and people in performing their work. They must respond to the increasing complexities and demands of the modern world that not only their people, but also they themselves face. A wellness centred leader is one who has the ability, skills and capacity to respond dynamically in the face of these competing upward and downward pressures while maintaining their own wellbeing and leading their teams through resonance.
An investment in Wellness Centred Leadership by organisations is an acknowledgement of the importance of wellbeing not just for teams but also for the people who lead them. It represents a commitment to both the personal and professional growth of your leaders on the explicit understanding that it is impossible to separate these two elements within an individual- that a leader who is supported to continually nurture their sense of mindful self awareness, will in turn lead more mindful and self aware teams.
How coaching benefits healthcare leaders.
Coaching requires participants to reflect on their leadership shadow and potential, thus taking ownership of any behavioural, emotional and mindset changes required. In a group setting, coaching presents a unique opportunity to learn both from and with the group, drawing upon the wisdom of your colleagues and enriched with expert group facilitation. Throughout the retreat attendees will have the opportunity to experience various forms of both group and individalised coaching with the option of further engagement after the conclusion of the retreat.
Whole Hearted Medicine is proud to collaborate with Capstan Partners who advocate for coaching programs that support a journey into self-awareness, reflecting on individual skills, feelings, attitudes and behaviours required for effective leadership and providing a supportive space for change.
