Nourishing Leadership from the Inside Out

| Be Well Lead Well Newsletter, Leading Wellbeing, News and Events, Thriving Leadership, Wellbeing for You | No Comments

In our increasingly complex world marked by what I’ve come to call “societal inflammation,” what does it truly mean to thrive as leaders and human beings? Recently, I sat down with Nicki Sizemore, creator of Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD, whose journey through the food industry offers profound insights for leadership in these turbulent times. The Power of Inner Connection What struck me most from our conversation was Nicki’s emphasis on leadership beginning with a deep connection to self. After experiencing burnout at the peak of her successful blogging career—when she found herself “writing for Google rather than expressing who she was”—Nicki took an unprecedented summer off to reconnect with her purpose. “Inner connection is how I find thriving,” she shared. “The beauty of that is when we’re deeply connected to ourselves, we can authentically connect not just to other people, but to the world at large.” This inner work isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for thriving, sustainable leadership. When we’re rooted in self-awareness, our ability to lead others flows naturally rather than becoming another depleting task. From Extraction to Reciprocity Perhaps the most powerful leadership paradigm Nicki described was the shift from extraction to reciprocity. In the food world, she’s…

Thriving in Challenging Times: Wisdom from a Wellbeing Leader

| Be Well Lead Well Newsletter, News and Events, Thriving for Your Organization, Thriving Leadership | No Comments

In a recent conversation with Dr. Suzy Harrington, a pioneering health and wellbeing executive, we explored what it means to thrive as individuals and organizations during these turbulent times. As someone who has served as the first dedicated Chief Wellness Officer in higher education and developed influential frameworks for organizational wellbeing, Suzy offers valuable insights on creating environments where people can flourish despite challenges. What Does It Mean to Thrive Today? Suzy believes that at the heart of thriving in today’s world is our relationships with others. “Be kind, be compassionate, use your voice, have meaningful conversations, listen to others,” she advises. A big part of thriving, whether at work or at home, is about respecting people for who they are, even when differences arise, and developing skills to engage in constructive conflict. She also emphasizes that finding joy remains essential, even when things feel heavy. I’ve found that whether it’s through reaching out to others, spending time in nature, or honoring whatever spiritual practice works for you, maintaining a sense of joy can be an act of courage—and it is the kind of courageous role modeling our world needs. “How do you continue to have fun when everything’s so…

Building Sustainable Habits: A Guide for Leaders

| Be Well Lead Well Newsletter, The Face of Thriving Leadership, Thriving Leadership | No Comments

Stepping into the role of thriving leadership can result in dramatic shifts in how you live and lead. More often, though, it’s about a setting a clear intention and making small, positive changes that accumulate over time. The process for incorporating a new habit into your life and work isn’t magic, nor it is easy for most of us. One survey reports that, shockingly, only 9% of people stick to their New Year’s goals. Here’s something I’m working on this year: Spending less time on my computer. I know less screen time will enormously benefit my wellbeing mentally, emotionally, socially, and physically, yet I must remind myself to do it. Not only is my job often computer-heavy, using the computer only when it’s essential is a new behavior—and, like all new habits, putting it into practice requires attention and effort. Fortunately, the science behind habit formation offers valuable insights for turning that effort into greater ease. This practical guide will support you in creating and sustaining new habits that transform your vision of thriving leadership into a lasting reality. A Brief Masterclass on the Science of Habits Habits are formed by behaviors you repeatedly do, usually in a specific context. Take,…

Your state of wellbeing shapes your vision

| Be Well Lead Well Newsletter, News and Events, Science of Thriving, Thriving Leadership | No Comments

If you’re like most good leaders, you engage your team in a compelling vision and goals that motivate and direct them toward outcomes that matter. You may also create an inspiring vision to guide your decisions in life and work personally. Yet, like most leaders, you may have overlooked a principle that’s crucial to this aspirational focus: Your psychological and physiological states influence what you believe about your current circumstances and shape the future you believe is possible. Your state of being informs your future. It probably comes as no surprise that when we’re dysregulated, disenchanted, or depleted, we’re more apt to view certain opportunities as out of reach or feel trapped in a situation with no way out. We’ve all been there at some point. On the flip side, when we’re feeling internally well-resourced and vibrant we’re likely to see brighter possibilities for the future ahead. Shifting into a state of thriving can strengthen the power of you and your team to set and achieve a vision and goals that make a difference. In fact, it’s one of the essential shifts of thriving leadership. Thriving strengthens us in at least these 6 ways: Clear Thinking and Decisions. It’s difficult…
