Have you been making career-limiting choices? I was having a conversation with my daughter Delly many years ago and she started talking about colleagues who were making career-limiting choices that would define how their careers progress and that would ultimately limit their opportunities to attain the respect and fluidity of movement many aspire in the corporate arena. I had a chuckle then but quickly realized that many people I see are also struggling to see the long-term consequences of their actions. Let's talk about career-limiting choices in this episode. Are you making them or seeing friends and colleagues making them?

It's not the emotions we feel that matter, it is who we become as a result of these emotions. It is what they trigger in us and who we resort to become and the things that we do that make life so tough. Self-awareness is the only way to pay attention so we can stop shutting ourselves off, becoming people we don't like, and refusing to grow, change, or evolve into our next best self. Let's have a conversation about self-awareness and self-mastery. Join me now.

Welcome to the latest episode of our Wellness Competency Teaching series. In this episode, we delve deep into the essence of spiritual wellness as an integral dimension of our holistic well-being. Join us as we explore how spiritual wellness aligns with our core competencies and discover how to make our wellness programs more dynamic and relevant in today's ever-changing world.

As we navigate the wellness landscape, we address the challenge of engaging individuals in wellness conversations that resonate with them. Many organizations struggle with low participation and acceptance of wellness programs, leaving us to question: Are we truly connecting with our employees? Are we communicating in ways that matter to them? Our journey begins with understanding these critical questions.

With a spotlight on relevance and timeliness, we unravel the connection between spiritual wellness and the unseen forces that shape our lives. We discuss how we're adjusting our wellness programs to align with the ever-evolving needs of individuals and organizations alike. Through insights from practical examples and case studies, we learn how to make wellness a dynamic force that adapts to our changing realities.

We explore the foundation of spiritual wellness, highlighting its interconnectedness with other dimensions of well-being. Our conversation takes us to the core of self-esteem, values, trust, and balance. These fundamental aspects underpin our spiritual health and set the stage for our comprehensive well-being journey.

As we journey through the year, our series unfolds with deep dives into each dimension of well-being. We uncover how our inner landscapes impact our external realities. With a focus on building integrity, self-mastery, engagement, capacity, innovation, vibrancy, resilience, and vision, we empower you to take charge of your holistic well-being.

Join our Community of Practice and experience the transformational power of embracing wellness in all its dimensions. Learn to communicate responsibly, cultivate self-mastery, nurture resilience, and embody integrity. Unlock your potential to work, live, and play well.

I want to share my excitement with you about the launch of my 6th book. This book has been in the incubator of my mind for quite some time. It is meant to expand our lenses about the teaching and coaching of wellness competencies. I use competencies because we know they can be learned and improved upon. You will note that we can always work on our bodies, our minds and attitudes to attain optimal well-being. The same concept is presented in the WIS Method, the nine-dimensional framework that expounds on the wellness mindset and teaching. This book is a resource for coach trainers, instructors, facilitators, wellness practitioners and other professionals looking to marry the social determinants of health to coaching and teaching. It also provides some nuggets for leaders on how to lead wellness at work and strategies for organizational and workplace wellness. I am happy and excited that this book took so long. It was meant to take time and be birthed at this time when our health and wellness are in such jeopardy. You can pick up a copy of the book Here

Join me in 2022 as I expound on the wellness competency teaching and coaching framework weekly, as I teach wellness facilitators, coaches, and all those looking to be part of rebuilding the new world of work, to drive high performance, innovation, resilience. Join at Global Workplace Wellness Community of practice for our weekly wellness teachings. Looking forward to sharing my book tour calendar for 2022 with you.

I have been noticing that some key aspects of DEI in relation to the health and well-being of those who are being impacted by exclusion, microinequities, microaggression, and racism are not being addressed in the regular literature. I am sharing this recording here with you to help you understand what I am seeing and how these issues can be resolved. Have a listen and let me know what you think it a voice message.

As we march on the journey of diversity, inclusion and equity, it becomes very important that we do not squander the fight with trivialities. If someone at work doesn't like you, it may because of your behaviour, volume, attitude or even that you are disrespectful. Sometimes we don't like ourselves yet we expect others to like us. Ask yourself, would you be a friend to yourself? Do you like yourself? if you can't answer this question or find yourself avoiding the question altogether, then you may not think that you are likeable. If you want others to like you then do a self-assessment and come up with a couple of things you need to change for you to like yourself and your own company better. The answer to why co-works don't like you may be something you are doing or not doing or maybe pointing you to an area of growth in yourself. Focus on that and seek help to improve your interpersonal skills, your work output or your interactions with others at work. I know, it is so much easier to say it's because of the colour of your skin, hair texture, height, gender, attitude, or sexual orientation but I want to challenge you to dig a bit deeper and do your own self-assessment. Let me know what you find out. Also, we can never like everyone or have everyone like us so give yourself a break. Listen to this episode and reflect.

When we accept that we are working in a diverse environment, we realize that our ethnic foods though delicious to us may have smells and odours that are uncommon and unpleasant for others not used to them. You know what they say: "One man's medicine is another's poison". Let's be smart and not put others in uncomfortable situations. Keep exotic foods out of the office. Leave them for home and with friends, for those special "potluck office days". I don't believe the reason your co-worker leaves the office when you eat your ethnic food in the adjacent cubicle is a sign of racism. It may very well be that the spices and blend of spices may be making them queasy, nauseated, lightheaded or worst. Remember that some co-workers may be undergoing cancer treatment, are on medications that make them sensitive to strong smells, are pregnant, or may have allergies. Be kind to yourself and others. While you may be accustomed to the smells and think them wonderful, they may be new and overpowering to others. Remember most workplaces have a scent-free workspace policy. We usually recommend that our client organizations add strong-smelling foods to their scent-free policy as part of workplace health and wellness strategy. Let's continue to look for more ways to promote interpersonal wellness at work.
