Celebrate, appreciate, and rejuvenate: How the GLWS Festive Framework can help you and your team end the year on a high note!

Are you or your team feeling stressed out by the end of the year? Do you wish you could play Santa Claus to boost wellbeing and performance?

Based on the Global Leadership Wellbeing Survey Solutions (GLWS), a scientifically validated tool that measures the wellbeing of leaders and professionals across six domains: physical bodily energy and vitality, emotional agility and psychological resilience, meaningful achievement, social connection and good boundaries, the 2023 GLWS Festive Framework uses a Christmas-themed analogy to help you understand and communicate with your team about wellbeing priorities as we limp towards year-end during what can be a notoriously stressful time. For example:

Body: The Christmas Tree. How healthy and energized are you and your team feeling? Is your tree green and vibrant, or already wilted and droopy?

Meaning: The Star. How aligned are you and your team with your purpose and values? Is your star shining brightly, or dim and flickering?

Emotion: The Baubles. How positive and balanced are your emotions and moods in these final weeks? Are your baubles colourful and cheerful, or dull and broken?

Connection: The Tinsel. How strong and supportive are your relationships and networks as you approach the end of this year? Is your tinsel sparkling and connecting, or tangled, frayed and isolating?

Achievement: The Presents. How satisfied and successful have you and your team been in your work and goals this year? Are your presents plentiful and rewarding, or scarce and disappointing?

Feel free to use the GLWS Christmas Framework as a light-hearted way to help you and your team celebrate your achievements and appreciate each other, create a positive and festive atmosphere, nurture what’s left of your energies and strengths, and identify areas to protect or restore over the holidays. If you would like a PDF copy to circulate within your organisation, please just send an email to [email protected] and your wish shall be our command!
