Well-being adds value. Is overall #well-being in short supply?

In 2022 why not make it a priority. Perhaps it will offer an advantage.

Hosted by Roxanne "Rox" Bartel, this podcast in 2022 focuses on interventions, stories and reflections on how we can all expand our well-being and inspire the same in others around us.

Rox walks with her clients, offering an "all you could need" in coaching services at a flat monthly rate with the mission of expanding our individual and collective well-being.

A leader's success often comes down to how you work in the margins, on the edges. The edge is very nuanced and requires that you get comfortable holding thoughts that at first glance appear to conflict.

While I use a #MeToo type example in the episode, I will share a very different one here. As a leader I needed to appreciate the importance of my team and my department being aligned so they are "pulling in the same direction" and supporting each other's efforts AND at the same time I need to welcome conflict and disagreement that will help us catch possible opportunities or potential problem as we plan or or act on the plan. Creating connection and a collaborative spirit while inviting and sometimes provoking conflict or diversity of thought is often difficult for leaders to balance. The great ones get it - even through the discomfort and even dissonance it can generate. 

This week's Quick Tip: Engaging with nuance is effortful and it will require courage, openness, compassion and perspective from you, the leader, as you examine the major issues of the day like the cultures of our workplace and society will result in acceptance of our nuances as we navigate the messiness of engaging with each other.

Next week's WQT (Winter Quick Tip); the Hint: if your brain is disrupting your performance and behavior, do you want to know about it and why?
