– As a leader, I know it can be immensely challenging to prioritize your wellbeing. But, by taking care of your health, you’ll be putting yourself in the best position possible to be an effective leader and a role model for your team. You’ll also be making a clear statement that being healthy should be a top priority for your team, because it is to you. Remember, there’s a direct correlation between your health and your team’s health and vice versa. If they are struggling, you will as well. And when you or your employees are stressed, overworked, or unwell, everyone’s productivity will suffer. It’s that simple. So, it’s up to you to lead by example and remind your team what success really looks like in today’s workplace. It means having boundaries, it means taking care of yourself, and it means learning how to be more vulnerable. Above all, it’s about paying attention to your needs and remembering that at the end of the day, you are human too. I hope you’re already well on your way to improving your health and wellbeing. If not, there’s no better time than right now to begin. Your family, your team, and your business are depending on you. And what better motivation is there than that?
