Building Resilience

I’m excited to welcome special guest Dr. Theresa Larson, also known as “Dr. T.” She shares her journey from being a Marine Corps officer to founding MovementRx, a company dedicated to building emotional and physical resilience in the workplace. Dr. T emphasizes the importance of prioritizing employee health, fostering a culture of well-being, and adapting leadership practices to meet the needs of a diverse workforce. Together, we explore how wellness can serve as a leader’s competitive advantage and discuss practical ways to integrate self-care into a busy lifestyle.

Key Takeaways:

1. Leaders often neglect their well-being to focus on their teams, leading to burnout and reduced effectiveness.
2. Embracing pivotal moments is crucial for personal and professional growth.
3. Traditional leadership models often overlook well-being and are not relatable to today’s diverse workforce.
4. Leaders need to be approachable and connected to their teams to foster trust and a culture of well-being.
5. Balancing work and self-care is key to maintaining long-term success and setting a positive example for future leaders.

From Dr. T:
