Wellbeing Designers / May - June Update
Hi Wellbeing Designers,
Welcome to the May-June newsletter of 2024!
It has been almost a year since the first edition of this newsletter! Sometimes?I feel dissatisfied and impatient?(yes, I do that!) and I feel that we are going slowly on this journey building Wellbeing Designers. Then I need to knock on my own head and do what I learned at my coaching school and what I do when I coach others ...?I need to remind myself where we were?with Wellbeing Designers a year ago and where we are?today. Then I clearly see the amount of progress I have made! I feel?very proud of that. Entrepreneurship is such a deep personal development journey!
Now it is time?to celebrate together as we reached a big milestone:?launching the Wellbeing Leadership Mastery course!
?? 5 months learning journey
???? For HR, Wellbeing and Business leaders working in global organisations
?? 5 live online sessions together
?? online learning modules for self-paced learning
?? 1:1 advisory/coaching sessions
?? You come with your wellbeing challenge from your organisation that you will work on supported by the community and myself
?? Peer support as part of 1 global community of Wellbeing Designers continued beyond this course
Start: Sep 2024

Join us on this journey, apply for it here or share the course page with others in your network! Remember together we can?design a sustainable work-life, human-centric organisations.?Let's create the future of wellbeing and advance?it as a strategic priority in the world.

Where we shared our insights
I got the honour to share my?insights on the impact?of AI on our wellbeing in?a?Forbes Article, "Can AI Make Us 30% Happier?" authored by the brilliant Amy Blankson. This thought-provoking piece explores the fascinating intersection of technology and well-being.
We teamed up with Dr. Bernhard Kaumanns, MD, PhD, MBA and his company Leaders who care for the Re.Th!nk 2024 session aiming to give space for a small group of professionals working on advancing well-being in their organisations. It was a great success, meaningful conversations and connections on an exceptionally hot summer day in Zurich, Switzerland. Join the conversation about the session here on LinkedIn!
I was invited to by the ICF Kuwait Chapter, during the International Coaching week of the International Coaching Federation to deliver a session about self-awareness and sustainable leadership. Thank you, dear Ghada Ahmed and Maleha ALfoudari for making this happen!
Last but not least I participated at the Irresistible conference organised by The Josh Bersin Company and the Marshall Business School of the University of Southern California?in Los Angeles, USA?with 450+ HR Leaders and their teams from all over the world. Recap on the updates via these posts: Post nr1, Post nr2.
I have been leading the Swiss Community of the Josh Bersin Academy by The Josh Bersin Company since 2022. In June we met again with a handful of HR leaders from the Zürich region to exchange on the challenges of Talent Acquisition. Great insight session delivered by Bo Vialle-Derksen - read some reflections here.
